Protesters in London won the approval of London Mayor Sadiq Khan and will be able to fly this giant “Trump-baby” blimp when President Trump visits the U.K. later this month:

From the Mayor:
“The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms.”
The organizer of the stunt says the president’s “got a really fragile ego” and this is “the only real leverage we have over this man”:
"He's got a really fragile ego, I would say that's the only real leverage we have over this man."

The president, however, will not see the blimp as he’s skipping London. From Ambassador Woody Johnson:

And over here in America, anti-Trump CNN contributor Ana Navarro seems pretty psyched to get at Trump- baby blimp of her very own:
Are these Trump-baby blimps, available for sale in the United States?
Asking for 66 million Americans…. https://t.co/FOEMR5tuz0— Ana Navarro (@ananavarro) July 5, 2018
So, we can make giant baby balloons of Dems now, too? Good to know:
If they did this to Obama the left would have called it a hate crime ? https://t.co/Kx6ALwbEaf
