President Trump responded to the blimp during his interview with The Sun and went on to compare it with the general opinion of him.
“I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London,“ Trump said. ”I used to love London as a city. I haven’t been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there? And when I say that I am talking about government because the people of the UK agree with me.”
Some who live in London are also expressing their dislike for the balloon:
I’m not a Trump fan. I support the orderly protest march planned for London against his policies. But to float a 20ft ‘Trump Baby’ blimp, depicting him as smartphone-wielding, nappy-wearing infant is to sink to his level of vitriol & disrespect. I think it belittles us, not him. pic.twitter.com/eeAdaBJAvn

I’m no fan of Trump but I’m embarrassed by that orange baby blimp thing. I feel like we’re better than that.

[divider][/divider]“Protesters gather in London for mass anti-Trump rallies,” screamed the CNN headline.
One march started at 11 a.m. London time with another at 2 p.m. But if pictures from the first march are any indication, estimates of 200,000 angry protesters clogging the city streets might be heavily exaggerated.

Another picture from the BBC showed even fewer people gathered. – READ MORE
