The world will once again get to bask in the Trump Baby balloon’s glory as it is set to fly the skies this week while President Trump himself visits London, Unilad reported.
The last time this hilariously bulbous baby blimp soared through the air was in July 2018 when Trump first visited the city. The capital’s mayor Sadiq Khan reportedly gave permission for the giant balloon to fly during the American president’s visit.

Trump Baby balloon is truly a sight to see, and not just because it can quite literally eclipse the sun.
This piece of protesting gold sees the POTUS reduced to a fluorescent orange, chubby baby complete with a cell phone clutched in one of its pudgy hands. With the addition of a comically huge diaper and mouth open in a snarl as it’s caught mid-rant, this balloon is nothing short of amazing.
Of course, Trump had some opinions about the less-than-flattering balloon homage to him.
“I used to love London as a city,” he told The Sun at the time. “I haven’t been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?”
He added, “I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London.”
Trump also made sure to fire a shot at Mayor Khan and said he “has done a terrible job in London.”
Perhaps this wasn’t the best comment to make towards the city’s mayor, as Khan has given the go-ahead for protesters to fly Trump Baby once again during Trump’s visit this week.
The POTUS is set to return to London on June 3, though he won’t see his iconic balloon right away.
Protesters have organized to fly the balloon over Parliament on June 4 instead, so Trump can have one day to relax in the country’s capitol before getting to reunite with his very own not-so-mini-me.
There are also plants for several protest groups to march through London during Trump’s visit to meet with Theresa May, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.
The Baby Trump Team are a part of the Stop Trump coalition.
Before they can fly the balloon in the air, they’re going to need special permission from the Metropolitan Police. But the protesters are confident that they’ll get the approval they need.
The group isn’t just about flying a hilarious blimp in the sky for people to enjoy.
They are also raising funds to go towards groups who are fighting the impact of some of Trump’s more disastrous policies.
“We’ve promised to get the baby in the air again – but only if and when we raise money for these groups,” Anna Vickerstaff, a Trump Baby “babysitter”, told ITV .
We’re all for making a joke out of Trump, but we won’t let the opportunity pass to support those fighting the very serious impacts of what he’s doing.
So far the group have raised over £30,000 and that number continues to grow.
The Bring Trump Baby Back crowdfunder promised fans that they will see Trump Baby once again if they could reach the £30,000 goal, and now that they have, it’s confirmed the blimp will be making its triumphant return.
So if you’re in that area on June 4, I’d suggest you keep an eye in the sky for an orange baby because this is one sight you won’t want to miss.
