New Delhi: US President Donald Trump who is scheduled to visit London the next week, may not be really pleased at the kind of the welcome protestors are planning for him. As per reports, a giant blimp depicting Donald Trump as a baby will fly over London during his visit. The protestors behind the stunt said that Mayor Sadiq Khan approved the request. The orange Trump-like balloon which shows the US president wearing a nappy, is scheduled to fly between 9:30 am and 11:30 am near the parliament, during Trump’s visit. #TrumpBaby on Twitter will lead you to images of the balloon. As per reports, More than 10,000 signatures were there on the online petition requesting to allow the balloon to be flown over. At first the Trump Baby idea was not being viewed as legitimate protest, but with the groundswell support of petitioners, the mayor gave it a nod. Journalist Andrew Potter shared the image of the Trump Baby on Twitter:

Popped down to see a bunch of north London folks practice inflating the giant Trump Baby blimp they’ve made to protest the president’s visit. They plan to launch it beside parliament when Trump is here on July 13. It’ll go 30 metres in the air. #vicenews#trumpbabypic.twitter.com/NvY1fKbHEm
