During an official visit to the United Kingdom by former U.S. President 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 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.[4] Although Trump was not visiting Edinburgh, he was spending the weekend at his Turnberry golf course,[5] but permission to fly the balloon there was refused by Police Scotland.[6]
The balloon has also been flown in France, Argentina, Ireland, and Denmark. With permission, activists made a copy of the balloon and it has been flown in numerous locations in the U.S.
