Trump ‘baby blimp’ flies in Argentina for G-20 summit

A blimp portraying President Trump as a diaper-clad baby was flown in Argentina on Thursday, a day before the Group of 20 (G-20) summit that Trump is scheduled to attend.

The blimp floated over the capital city of Buenos Aires, where leaders from the world’s 20 biggest economies will gather for a two-day summit.

Massive anti-summit protests are expected on Friday. More than 22,000 police and officials will reportedly be deployed for security measures.

{mosads}President Mauricio Macri declared Friday a national holiday in Argentina and encouraged residents to get out of Buenos Aires and enjoy a long weekend, CNN reported. 

The Trump balloon — which depicts Trump as a crying baby holding a cellphone — became famous earlier this year when a version of it was flown in London to protest Trump’s visit to the U.K.

It has since made appearances at protests in Florida, outside the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort, and in Washington state near a venue where Vice President Pence was giving a speech.
