Trump to be greeted in Dayton with protests, 'Baby Trump' blimp
By Owen Daugherty - 08/07/19 10:13 AM EDT

President Trump will be met with protests and the “Baby Trump” inflatable balloon when he visits Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday to meet victims' families and local leaders in the wake of a mass shooting that claimed nine lives.

Organizers raised enough money in recent days to have the 20-foot balloon transported from Chicago to Dayton before Trump arrives Wednesday, according to The Washington Post.

The balloon, depicting Trump as an angry baby in a diaper holding a cellphone, will be filled with air instead of helium.

The balloon will also be holding a sign that reads: “Welcome to Toledo Dayton! Don’t be a baby — Stand up to the NRA.” The word “Toledo” will be crossed out, a reference to Trump’s gaffe when mixed up the Ohio cities during a televised address Monday.

The one in London got cut/deflated to plastic scrap.  I sure one loyal MAGA hat wearer can get close enough to fix this easily.

Sane people will be at work. Crazies will be playing with their blimp.

That'll make a great image - somber Trump paying homage to shooting victims, leftists flying their Baby Trump blimp.

Yep. My first thought was let them emote. It’ll make for very entertaining, if not disturbing, video. Especially for those politically in the center and right of center. The more Americans see the resistance in action the better for Trump’s re-election.
