An enormous inflatable Donald Trump baby has been granted permission to fly above London during the US President's visit to the UK.
The six-metre tall balloon portrays Trump as an angry infant, complete with a nappy and a whisp of blonde hair.
London mayor Sadiq Khan's Greater London Authority today approved a request for the blimp to take to the skies next weekend.
It came after thousands of people signed a petition calling on the council to grant permission, and a crowdfunding campaign raised more than £16,000 to get the protest off the ground.
But strict restrictions will be in place for the bulbous baby, which must be tethered to the ground at all times, and cannot be flown at a height of more than 30 metres.

Just weighing in to note it would be more true-to-life if it were apparent that the nappy needed changing.

I beg to differ. That would imply he’s no longer full of it.

Unlike the real thing, which is never well grounded...
cannot be flown at a height of more than 30 metres.
Which means Trump will never have any chance to see it; that's a height of less than a 100 feet. (Less than most kites I've flown; at that low a height, the headline saying it will "fly above London" is a pretty big exaggeration... )
