Latest news from Europe - specifically about the now famous Giant Baby Trump

The itinerary has been calculated to avoid London and the giant balloon but no chance! It will also float over his golf club in Scotland.

Even better :

Almost £18,000 have been raised by the campaigners for the helium-filled six meters high figure while the initial crowdfunding target was just £1,000 (reached in less than 24H).

They said the remaining amount will be used to send the inflatable figure on a “world tour” and “haunt” Trump wherever he goes.

If they need more money and launch another crowdfunding, I will gladly donate !

We are also supposed to believe this :

“No, the president is not avoiding anything,” U.S. ambassador to the U.K. Woody Johnson said during a press conference, adding that London will be the base. “The president is merely trying to get as impactful a trip as he can get in a 24-hour period.”

Johnson said he and officials are “all aware of” the blimp and that the president is focusing on his goals for the trip and “appreciates free speech, both in this country and in our country.”


In French we say either "nous faire avaler des couleuvres" or "nous faire prendre des vessies pour des lanternes" which literally means "make us swallow snakes" and "make us take bladders for lanterns"

to hold the impaction since he's "trying to get as impactful a trip as he can".

Do these surrogates for tRump not hear how full of $hit they are?

Obviously not !

Did you see Rudy Giuliani blaming Khan ??

He said Khan sould be ashamed...

Ok then, let's talk about his master... Shouldn't he be ashamed first ? Is it normal to say what he said on Khan ?

about it.



Hehehe. Sounds like the stunt is working already. Why the hell doesn't a US group make one and launch it outside the White House?

by not licencing the image for world-wide distribution. A fleet of full-sized copies and downsized replicas has already been suggested here, along with stickers, decals, and stained-glass windows. I've already seen one company selling T-Shirts with the image. Smaller copies with a lid could be marketed as used diaper receptacles. Soon, someone will come up with a drone model, which could be used to silently sneak up on white-supremacist rallies. Oh, and bowling pins. Roly-poly dolls. Egg timers. Traffic cones. Ice cream confections. Personal vibrators...
