By Bethany Minelle, news reporter

A giant balloon dubbed "Trump baby" has been given the green light to fly near parliament during the president's UK visit.

London mayor Sadiq Khan's Greater London Authority has approved a request for the flight after thousands signed a petition and a crowdfunding campaign raised more than Â£16,000 to get the six-metre inflatable off the ground.

Khan, the mayor of Londonistan okayed this. It's really not much of a story besides that.

Trump should make this a captured symbol of sorts, reclaim it. Kinda like n----a for rappers.

Wow. This will show him.

Can anyone imagine a similar stunt for Obama?

I wonder whether the mayor would approve one of himself.

If I were Trump I would cancel my visit to the UK.

I think the Russians did something similarly offensive for Obama. The difference being the US media was apoplectic rather than delighted about it.

If I were the President, I'd hold a rally with Nigel Farage. ^-^

I wonder who's bright idea this was. Taunting with a toy balloon is rather a rather childish stunt itself.

My understanding is it was some dude named Pink who came up with this concept....

Of course. Both consider the other as a D.U.F.F.

That would be rude, a guest should honest their host wishes, either that or don't visit. I'd not visit
such a rude host city. If I were Trump I'd just go to my golf club in Scotland.

I was going to mention free speech and all, but then again the UK threw a guy in jail for teaching their dog the Nazi salute and all, free speech really isn't such a big deal over there, at least not for certain people/subjects.

And, even worse, threw Tommy Robinson in jail (and I think he's still there) for daring to televise the perps in an organized sexual exploitation of children by muslim immigrants case. Apparently, the powers that be didn't want the English people to know that the criminals were muslim immigrants.

I'd imagine they'd do something like that in Moscow....

Yes, you might, if you were he.

He does have thin skin.

Not London, and not officially sanctioned.

England has gone over to the dark side. I fear for the safety of our President in that once great
nation turned into a sewer by the globalist left.

Gone over? The place has been a shithole for decades. You forget when it almost went full Commie in the Mid 70's?

How can you take seriously a people who eat Spotted Dick for desert and drink warm beer?

There is a fundraising effort to make a retaliatory baby Kahn blimp. I can't find the link because the media will bury this story but I read they've collected over 10,000 pounds.
