This Giant 'Trump Baby' Blimp Just Got Approved to Fly Over Parliament Next Week to Protest Donald Trump's London Visit

That's one big baby.

Many consider President Donald Trump to be full of hot air, but the sentiment will take on a much more literal meaning next week now that a giant blimp of a baby Donald will float over London during his visit to the United Kingdom.

London Mayor Sadiq Kahn's office approved the request after the effort garnered over £17,000 and over ten thousand signatures.


Londoner Andrew Bloch tweeted a photo of the actual balloon in all its glory.

The organizers of the blimp, known as Trump Baby, don't mince words of their feelings toward the president in the least. The Crowdfunder page refers to Trump as everything from a "racist demagogue" to an "Orange sex pest." The project is 85 percent funded and is accepting donations until the 11th of July. The effort to gain the city's permission was thought by many to be the biggest hurdle. With this latest victory, Americans and Brits alike were eager to celebrate.

In addition to the baby blimp, tens of thousands of UK citizens are expected to protest Trump's arrival throughout the nation.

But the president is no stranger to protests from across the pond.

Shortly before his inauguration in 2016, Parliament debated for three hours on whether or not to endorse banning the president from the country before ultimately deciding against it.

During that debate, Parliament member Naz Shah said:

I stand here as a proud British Muslim woman. Donald Trump would like me banned from America. But in my Islam, what it teaches me is that goodness is better than evil.

Parliament would debate the matter again a few months later after a petition opposing a state visit from Trump gained over a million signatures.

But the president still wasn't done enraging lawmakers and citizens in the country. In November of last year when he retweeted anti-Muslim propaganda videos from a far-right English hate group Britain First, resulting in one Parliament member calling Trump “racist, incompetent or unthinking — or all three.”

A few months later, the president canceled a planned state visit to the UK amid fears of immense protests, though he tweeted it was due to the sale of the embassy in London being what he perceived to be a bad deal.

Attitudes toward the president in the country don't seem to have changed much.

Only time will tell if Trump will actually follow through with the UK visit. But when it comes to this latest development, it's hard to tell if the country is big enough for the two of them. Even if one is a baby and the other is a blimp.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was fact-checked by an X Community Note after she tried to praise President Donald Trump for "rebuilding" the country, when she herself voted against President Biden's 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
