London, June 3 (RHC)-- British protesters are greeting U.S. President Donald Trump during his second visit to Britain with a giant orange baby blimp and a robot version of him that talks and tweets while sitting on a golden toilet.
The "Trump Baby," which was flown during the American president's first UK visit in July 2018 much to the protesters' admiration, makes a return during Trump's stay in London, Reuters reported. The organizers had launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise £30,000 ($38,000) needed to fly the blimp again.
“Trump will try his best to avoid the public on his trip, but with Trump Baby flying we’re sending a very clear message of solidarity to those affected by his despicable politics,” said Ajuub Faraji, one of the organizers, who label themselves Trump blimp “Babysitters.”
A U.S. creator of fantasy film creatures is also contributing ‘Dumping Trump’ to the protests planned during his trip which will last from Monday through Wednesday. The 16-foot robot murmurs some of the president’s well-known quotes while sitting on a golden toilet holding a cellphone, an apparent jab at Trump's unhealthy tweeting habits.
“I am proud of the British that they go out in the streets to insult Trump. We don’t seem to do it. So, I wanted to debut it there in London,” political commentary website Washington Examiner cited the inventor Don Lessem as saying. “He is such an embarrassment. We just sit around and think we can wait it out. We need to express what an injustice this is, how much we are betraying democracy,” he added.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has given the organizers of the iconic protests the greenlight to proceed with their plans. As with the previous visit, hundreds of thousands of protesters will take to the streets to repudiate the U.S. commander-in-chief, outraged by his policies, which they say are an attack on international law.
According to Daily Mail, the main protest will be held in central London on Tuesday with organizers predicting that a quarter of a million will march from Trafalgar Square to Parliament Square.
