UK - Activists Prepared Trump-Baby-Balloon For Queen Visit (Video)

On July 13, US President Donald Trump will be visiting London to have a meeting with the Queen and Prime Minister Theresa May.

Mr. Trump, who had repeatedly stated he would like to visit the Queen, will be granted his request as the UK desperately needs a trade deal now that the Brexit clock is running out. But everything has been done so that the US’s First Couple can avoid a crowd of protesters.

In fact, UK Prime Minister Ms. Theresa May was the very first world leader to invite US President Trump for an official state visit already after his inauguration in 2017. But when over a million Britons objected in a petition, those plans were put in a shelf labeled ‘don’t open again.’

As Mr. Trump this year seemed to grow ever closer to French President Emmanuel Macron and the UK needed at least some good news for its slow-moving train wreck that Ms. May’s Brexit negotiations proved to be, the visit invitation was anew sent out, this time with a secret itinerary and packed in the form of a ‘working visit’.

Protesters, still keen to show how they feel about Mr. Trump, therefore started collecting funds to make a 6-meter high balloon which will fly over London on the day of the visit, portraying Mr. Trump as a baby, complete with diaper and small hands.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">&quot;He is like the most powerful man in the world, but he seems very vulnerable to being mocked&quot;: Activists plan to fly this giant &quot;Trump baby&quot; balloon above London to protest the president&#39;s U.K. visit. <a href="https://t.co/L7OcB4xIQw">https://t.co/L7OcB4xIQw</a> <a href="https://t.co/HDWEqMM4ji">pic.twitter.com/HDWEqMM4ji</a></p>&mdash; ABC News (@ABC) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABC/status/1012270852921061376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 28, 2018</a></blockquote>

Environmentalist activist Mr. Leo Murray, explains: “This is how the world sees him,”

“This is what we tried to do here, encapsulate in a very simple graphic metaphor, what the world understands Donald Trump to be.”

“This is not a protest against America or Americans. This is a protest against what Donald Trump is turning America into.”
