The balloon that depicted Donald Trump in a diaper during protests against his visit to the United Kingdom in July will return in June.
The Donald Trump baby blimp will fly again during Trump’s three-day state visit in the first week of June and could be joined by an even larger version, reports The Guardian.
Leo Murray, who helped crowdfund the original 18-foot-high balloon, told The Guardian: “The Trump baby will definitely fly again.”
Protesters are considering a hot air balloon, five times the size of the mini blimp, which would also depict Trump as a wailing baby in a diaper, The Guardian reports.

They estimate the larger balloon would cost £70,000 and permission to fly is not guaranteed.

“We do have the baby blimp – it will fly and we’re also thinking about the option of making a bigger baby blimp. Logistics are the only consideration,” Asad Rehman, of War on Want and the Stop Trump Coalition, told The Guardian.

“We are very confident there will be more than a quarter of a million protesters. Trump’s visit last year mobilized a large number of people, but a year later the man has done more to rip up human rights, step back from international norms, continued his climate denialism and fuelled white nationalism,” he told The Guardian.
