An enormous blimp depicting President Donald Trump as a baby throwing a temper tantrum set sail over the city Friday morning.
The blimp went up near the Houses of Parliament around 9 a.m. local time. It’s the culmination of a weekslong online fundraising campaign from a group of British activists.
The president arrived in the U.K. on Thursday but is largely circumventing the capital and the massive protests against him. He paid a brief visit to the U.S. ambassador’s central London residence before taking a helicopter to Blenheim Palace ― the monumental house where Winston Churchill was born― for a lavish dinner event with British Prime Minister Theresa May.
“I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London,” Trump told The Sun in an interview that was published on Thursday where he also sharply criticized May’s Brexit plans.
HuffPost UK’s Chris York was on the scene as the blimp was being inflated.
