During an official visit to the United Kingdom by President of the United States Donald Trump, an inflatable caricature of Trump (usually known as the Trump Baby or less commonly the Baby Trump[1]) was flown in protest of him, his visit, his racial views, his history of alleged sexual misconduct, and his policies.[2] The balloon depicts Trump as an angry orange baby holding a smartphone.

The balloon was flown over Parliament Square, London, on 13 July 2018, where the police estimate that over 100,000 protestors were in attendance,[3] and 50,000 more in the Meadows, Edinburgh, the following day, where protests were also held.[5] Although Trump was not visiting Edinburgh, he was spending the weekend at his Turnberry golf course,[6] but permission to fly the balloon there was refused by Police Scotland.[7]

Concept

One of the organisers, Max Wakefield described the balloon protest as being in response to "the rise of far-right politics that dehumanises people in order to get into power", and saw it as an attempt to introduce some "good British humour" into the political discourse surrounding Trump's visit.[8] Wakefield cited the Trump administration's family separation policy and Trump's withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate agreement as examples of the kind of policies which the protest was targeting.[8] Leo Murray, who led the campaign, wrote in its crowdfunding statement:[8][9]

{{Quote|text=[When] Trump visits the UK on Friday the 13th of July this year, we want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him. That's why a group of us have chipped in and raised enough money to have a 6 meter high blimp made by a professional inflatables company, to be flown in the skies over Parliament Square during Trump's visit.}}

The {{convert|6|m|ft|adj=on}} tall, helium-filled plastic inflatable, also referred to as a "balloon" or "blimp", was designed by Matt Bonner and constructed by Imagine Inflatables of Leicester.[10] It was made after a crowdfunding campaign on crowdfunder.co.uk[11] raised the GB£16,000 cost of its creation and deployment.[7] It depicts Trump as "an angry orange baby"[2] with a snarling mouth,[12] tiny hands,[13] wearing a nappy,[7] and holding a smartphone.[19]

Organiser Max Wakefield said "The only way that you can make any impact with Donald Trump is to mock him, because you can't engage him in any kind of argument — it never gets anywhere."[8]

History

Permission from the Greater London Authority (GLA), Metropolitan Police and National Air Traffic Service (NATS) was required for the balloon to be flown over Parliament Square, the space above which is considered restricted airspace.[14] Permission was granted, allowing it to be flown, while tethered, up to {{convert|30|m|-1}} high, for up to two hours.[15][10][14] Both the GLA's 'City Operations' team and NATS stressed that the nature of the protest did not play a part on their decisions.[16]

After learning of the balloon, Trump remarked, "I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London."[17]

After its appearance in London, the balloon was taken to Edinburgh, where it was flown over the Meadows, a public park near to the city centre, as part of the protests against Trump's two-day-visit to Scotland,[18] permission to fly the balloon near Turnberry golf course having been refused.[7] On 17 July 2018, the balloon was tethered outside the O2 Arena in London during a performance by the American rock band Pearl Jam, with their blessing.[19] Protesters planned on flying the Trump baby balloon in Ireland in November during Trump's visit to the country, however his trip was cancelled.[20]

Museums including the British Museum and the Museum of London expressed interest in acquiring or displaying the original balloon.[21][22]

Sadiq Khan balloon

A month later on 30 August 2018, pictures of a balloon similar to that of Donald Trump's were circulated, this time depicting London's Mayor Sadiq Khan wearing a bright yellow bikini. The balloon, like the Donald Trump baby balloon, was crowdfunded after £58,000 was raised to create the blimp. Organizers, saying "a certain amount of respect should be afforded to the leader of the free world and the greatest ally the UK has," said the balloon was made "in retaliation" to the Trump balloon.[23] It featured Khan wearing a yellow bikini in response to the banning of a series of Protein World advertisements on London's public transport networks, which had shown a woman in a yellow bikini with the slogan "are you beach body ready?". The adverts were criticized for allegedly objectifying women and promoting unrealistic female body images. The adverts were eventually banned, with Sadiq Khan supporting their removal.[24] Sadiq Khan commented, "If people want to spend their Saturday looking at me in a yellow bikini they're welcome to do so, I don't really think yellow's my colour though." A small crowd gathered to watch as the blimp flew over London's Parliament Square on 1 September 2018. It has made no further appearances.[23][25]

Appearances outside of the UK

United States

A group of activists in New Jersey raised nearly US$24,000 in a GoFundMe campaign to purchase Baby Trump balloons that they planned to fly over Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. Initially, they sought US$4,500 to purchase one balloon. Their fund raising was so successful that they were able to purchase six balloons in all. The balloons are available for "adoption" by groups for events in other states.[26][27][28] Copies of the "Baby Trump", sometimes referred to as the "baby blimp", balloon have appeared across the U.S. in Florida, Michigan, California, Chicago, New York and Washington, among other places.

On September 22, a balloon was seen flying near Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach at a rally to mark the anniversary of Hurricane Maria striking Puerto Rico.[29]

On October 2, the balloon appeared at a Spokane, Washington protest when Vice President Mike Pence traveled to Washington to support the reelection of Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers.[30]

Baby Trump made an appearance at an October 13, Woman's March rally in Chicago, Illinois. The march was organized to encourage female political activism leading up to the November midterm elections.[30]

The balloon made its California debut at the Los Angeles Convention Center on October 19, 2018.[31]

On October 27, the Trump balloon was flown in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The co-organizer stated, "It's meant to be fun, but we're also making the point that this guy is dangerous and he's a little unhinged. We want to make the point that this administration is taking us down what we think is the wrong path and is threatening to democracy, to our moral standing in the world."[32]

On October 28, the Baby Trump balloon made an appearance in New York City at an "Impeachment parade."[33]

France

The Baby Trump balloon made an appearance at a Paris protest march on November 11, 2018, when hundreds gathered to protest Trump's visit to Paris to attend the ceremonies to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. Speaking to a CNN journalist, one protester said, "I think Paris should be protesting not only Trump's presence here, but also should be trying to send a message to President Macron for having invited him here, especially on the anniversary of the signing of the armistice."[34]

Argentina

On November 29, 2018, the Trump Baby was flown in Argentina in protest during the G20 Buenos Aires summit.[35]

Donald Trump is a big, angry baby with a fragile ego and tiny hands. He's also racist demagogue who is a danger to women, immigrants and minorities and a mortal threat to world peace and the very future of life on earth. Moral outrage is water off a duck's back to Trump. But he really seems to hate it when people make fun of him. So when Trump visits the UK on Friday the 13th of July this year, we want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him.
