https://www.cnn.com/2019/06/12/us/trump-baby-balloon-july-4th-speech-trnd/index.htmlIt's been seen in the UK and Argentina. Versions of it have flown over border cities and protests around the US. Now, a feminist activist group has announced they are planning to fly a round, diapered Donald Trump baby balloon during the President's 4th of July address at the Lincoln Memorial.
The group, Code Pink, said in a statement that they plan to show up near Trump's much-touted Independence Day speech "to protest the racism, hatred, fear, and militarism that Trump stands for and promotes."
"On July 4, CODEPINK will parade the Baby Trump blimp in DC as an all out call to reject Trump," the announcement reads.
"When Trump speaks at the Lincoln Memorial, let's show him what a big baby he is!"

(14,176 posts)No doubt Donnie will do his best to put pressure on local law enforcement and politicians that are Trump humpers, to make up something if they have to, like "disturbing the peace" or "unauthorized flying object" or some such infraction.
Would have had an even greater impact as well if it floated through the blue sky and over the crowds, over Trump himself while braying out another of his self centered speeches, literally out of the blue. And hung there over him while he finished. I highly doubt that will be allowed to happen now.
