‘Baby Trump’ blimp now a world traveller, rallying point

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump increasingly is being tailed and trolled by an angry diaper-clad caricature armed with a cellphone.

He’s Baby Trump, the blimp who has become synonymous with resistance to the American president.

The idea of Baby Trump began ahead of the president’s visit to London last year, when a group of activists gathered at a local pub to brainstorm ideas for a protest statement sure to get under Trump’s skin.

Now, Baby Trump has been cloned multiples times over and become a world traveller. He’s something of a celebrity for opponents of the president. He’s also emerged as a rallying point for some supporters of the president, who see the blimp as evidence of just how over-the-top the opposition has become.
