Trump reveals giant baby blimp makes him feel unwelcome

Reporting by Goofballs.

I meant to say,  Daily Mail. 

There are a few points the Daily Mail would like for us to know.

* Sadiq Khan permitted the balloon to be dragged around.

* Donald Trump remarked it made him feel unwelcome hours after he landed for a four-day tour of U.K.

[Success! Immediate success. That is the whole point, to make Trump feel unwelcome. And that can only work in U.K.'s best interest. Don't you think? It gives the appearance of a few people speaking for the majority, while it's actually a few people speaking for themselves. It gives the appearance of yelling while it's actually peep-squeak. And Trump is known to hold grudges.]

* The "giant inflated blimp" made headlines.

* Trump said he has no reason to return to London because of the blimp.

* The blimp will follow Trump around on his tour.

[The blimp has agency]

Lots of photos and videos of the protestors handling the balloon.

Another view. By someone who isn't absurd. Power Line.

Pretty much every American news outlet is gleeful about the “giant Trump baby balloon,” as it is conventionally described, that supposedly is dominating the London landscape while Trump is in England. London’s Mayor, Sadiq Khan, gave activists permission to fly the blimp (as it is also referred to), which apparently was needed because it is so “giant.”

The balloon is actually rather small. The sort of thing you buy your nephews for fun. Smaller than a bouncy castle. Smaller than a Macey's Thanksgiving Day parade blimp. It's cute.

Here it is "towering" over the London skyline. The yellow dot, bottom right corner.

I wouldn't know what every American news outlet is gleeful about without Hinderaker saying. I'll have to believe him. 

I was interested in this ballon because its conceptual artist popped up in b3ta links page breathlessly describing his activism, his brilliance, and begging donations for the project no more than three weeks ago. So this was brought off fairly fast. Credit for alacrity. They're all perfect idiots at b3ta so his post was received enthusiastically and contributions to his project flowed immediately. They're all remainers, and they never give up. They like the idea of government bossing them around. For them it's like electing the most perfect mommy and daddy possible, even when government is foreign and even when it's not elected and even as it alters their national identity -- to something better. Something bigger. You can see by the photos in both places they're all young, fiercely political, and solidly thick-headed.

Then the balloon. Artistically, it's very good. Click over to enjoy it as art. The balloon says desperately, "Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me." As topics with immediate consequence to their lives are discussed and there is nothing they can do about it except barely lift up a cute little balloon.
