Interesting item on the mojo wire today. Seems the blimp portraying President Trump as a snarling baby that flew over London last week (see "Non-Muslim baby spotted in London", WWW 15/7/18) could soon be on its way to the clear blue skies of the Garden State, now that anti-Trump activists have raised enough money to bring it to the Excited States.
The long-haired, pimply-faced fanatics claim to have raised more than $8000 on GoFundMe.com. That's almost double the amount they said they needed to get the helium balloon to Bedminster NJ, home of the Trump National Golf Club which President Trump (I say that lest they forget) visits regularly. Organizer Didier Jiminez-Castro (no relation?) said he hoped the balloon would spur enthusiasm for Democratic candidates in November’s mid-term elections.
"Baby Trump will give that punch, that energy that we need for the midterms," said Senor Jiminez Castro. "It’s going to get people out of the house." But not, Walt thinks, out of the country.
Sadly for the anti-Trumpers, the money will be wasted, since Mr Trump will probably not see the blimp. The Federal Aviation Administration places flight restrictions on airspace over Bedminster whenever he visits!
