Organizers in New Jersey raised $4,500 for the balloon in less than a day.
The unflattering depiction of Trump, with an orange complexion, snarling expression and tiny hands, caught the attention of people around the world, including an activist in New Jersey who decided the helium balloon needed to visit his state.
So the activist, Didier Jimenez-Castro of Hillsborough, New Jersey, got together with some other local organizers to create a GoFundMe page to raise money for a Trump Baby blimp, the Bridgewater Courier News says.
We agreed we need to bring Baby Trump to Bedminster, the fundraising page says, referring to the location of the Trump National Golf Club, where the president and his family often spend weekends in the summer. A grassroots group called the Peoples Motorcade holds protests on one of the roads leading to the club on Saturdays in the spring and summer.
Jimenez-Castro set a fundraising goal of $4,500. Within 22 hours, we reached our goal, he told the Courier News. I contacted the manufacturer again and we will have our balloon by mid-August.

that balloon shows attention to detail... the white circles around the eyes, the multi-color hair.

took a while but we did get Salazar to "resign" (he snookered president Obama for a longtime, threatened to punch a reporter over basic questions, slaughtered thousands of wildlife, ruined OUR public lands)took a while but he resigned.

It'll frost the walking, talking model's more-than-ample buns when it draws bigger crowds than he does.
