Six-metre-high orange blimp dubbed Baby Trump launches in Paris

November 12, 2018

Baby Trump is protesting the US President’s visit to the French capital.

A six-metre-high blimp depicting President Donald Trump as a snarling orange baby has been launched in Paris.

Dubbed "baby Trump" the blimp is a protest of the president's visit to the French capital.  It's also aimed at French President Emmanuel Macron for inviting Mr Trump to join the armistice ceremony.

The Trump blimp was the same one flown in Parliament Square, London during the US President's visit to London earlier this year.
