'Trump Baby' set to soar above London during Donald Trump's UK visit



A six-meter, novelty-sized Donald Trump will be found floating above London if a group of British protesters successfully have their way.

An online petition to get a huge Donald Trump blimp to fly over London during the US president's visit to the UK on July 13 has almost 6,000 signatures already.

Dubbed Project Trump Baby, the founders – activist Leo Murray and his friends – have already raised over 7,000 pounds (9,300 US dollars) by crowdfunding to get the 6m high "orange baby" Trump made by a professional inflatables company.

In addition to the floating giant "Trump Baby" flying above the UK Parliament, the protest group has a further plan to distribute 1,000 mini "Trump Baby" balloons around London also on July 13.

"So when Trump visits the UK on Friday July 13 this year, we want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him,” Murray has also written an editorial in The Guardian, explaining the launch could be a day of "national pride and unity" for Britain.
