Woman Wants to Pop Trump Baby Balloon So Badly She Started GoFundMe in Case She's Arrested

by Alberto Luperon | 7:56 pm, July 19th, 2018

If a New Jersey woman has her way, the Trump Baby Balloon may not be long for this world. She wants to pop it if it comes to the United States, and she started raising money on GoFundMe to pay for bail in case she’s arrested.

“I’m tired of people disrespecting our President!” stated the page in the name of Kathie Kitt Conklin. She wrote that she plans on “taking out this ridiculous balloon.” The fundraising title is Operation: POP Trump Balloon.

American protesters plan on bringing a Trump baby balloon to Bedminster, New Jersey, where the president owns a golf course. He often plays there, and it is worth mentioning he may visit this weekend. In any case, he might soon be welcomed by a massive effigy of himself, wearing a diaper and holding a cell phone to access Twitter. Demonstrators started their own GoFundMe account last Friday to raise funds for the endeavor, and will use the design made by UK protesters. In an interview CNN, organizer Jim Girvan said they made more money than expected, and will buy three to bring to protests and events nationwide.

Conklin declined to discuss her fundraiser with The Ashbury Park Press.

“I don’t want to talk to the press,” she said in a phone conversation before hanging up. “They always twist things. Thanks.”

New Jersey all but eliminated cash bail beginning last year.

Maybe even morons can see a grift for what it is.

Given her actions have been pre-announced and thus "premeditated", I should think any charges would far surpass mere vandalism. That said, how the hell does she think she is going to accomplish this?

Signs depicting Barack Obama as a lynched slave? Hitler? Dope? Evil as the Devil? Kenyan born? Illegitimate?

Oh yeah! She was living under a rock all this time and perhaps claims ignorance.

Lawyer fees, could be a lot. If you are not prepared with damages, you will probably get sued. Still sound worth it?
