Inflated ego: Trump baby blimp joins Museum of London collection

The 6-metre-high orange inflatable became a symbol of British protest against the outgoing US president

The the Donald Trump baby blimp, a 6-metre-high inflatable caricature that became a symbol of UK protest against the US president, has secured its place in history at a leading museum.

The helium-filled balloon, paid for through crowdfunding, depicts the outgoing president as a snarling orange baby wearing a nappy, with its tiny hands clutching a smartphone. It first took to the skies above Parliament Square during protests over Trump's first presidential visit to the UK in 2018.
