When Donald Trump visits London on July 13, he will be met by crowds of protesters and one giant floating balloon named "Trump Baby."
Late last week, London mayor Sadiq Khan officially approved the blimp to fly over the city after a group had raised over $30,000 on a crowdfunding website. "The mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms," the mayor's office explained in a statement. "His city operations team have met with the organizers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp."

Now, the group behind the balloon have announced that they have plans to follow Trump after his visit to the UK and go on a "world tour" with the president. On Crowdfunder, they wrote, "People have been so generous and supportive that we now have way more money than we can sensibly spend just on Trump's UK visit in July! So Trump Baby is going on World Tour! All the details are still TBC but once little Donald has been run out of Britain in July, we will start to put together an itinerary, so if your community is unlucky enough to be expecting a visit from the orange sex pest, please get in touch after the 14th."

if he wasn't being talked about. He would rather be insulted than ignored.

(6,212 posts)5. He will be talked about where ever he visits .....
so why not humiliate the ignorant idiot when he's there.
Tipperary
(6,930 posts)8. No, I do not think he likes being mocked. I think that is his weak spot/
I hope they do this.
What he feeds off is when people get down and dirty on his level. He loves that. Because it is all he knows.
renate
(13,776 posts)9. I kind of get where you're coming from... he loves being hated (by certain people)
But I don't think he enjoys being mocked by anybody, even people he hates, and he certainly wouldn't like being seen as a baby by the world at large.

air strike, and then get pissed when one of his generals tells him he cant do that.

(115,674 posts)6. After Brussels will it float off to Helsinki?
And maybe it should hover over Oslo when Trump doesn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
syringis
(5,101 posts)7. Not sure it will float on Brussels
Too short to get the green light.
I think it will be the same for Helsinki.
Renewed respect, he says !!!! Yep !
