For days, MSM has been trying to get everyone pumped up about the “Trump Baby” balloon (which some have described as a “blimp”).
Well guys, the “blimp” is a bust. In fact, it’s more of a disappointing large balloon.
The giant balloon depicting President Trump as a pouting orange baby took flight in London as part of Britain's "Stop Trump" protests https://t.co/7h6Gr2EoaO pic.twitter.com/yuDDXgJ8E4

I’m actually disappointed.
BREAKING – The #TrumpBabyBlimp has taken to the skies. Only a few meters, but it's airborne pic.twitter.com/8eZWxJk968

Utterly unimpressed.
All week I’ve been hearing this thing was a “blimp.” Now it’s a giant balloon. https://t.co/BVz3HD0O52

I think it’s been “blown up” a bit out of proportion, TBH…

I think "giant" is a bit of an exaggeration

I believe the reference to being a blimp was that in the spirit of realism it was full of hot air.

My kid just had a bigger balloon at his birthday party

“giant balloon”
😂
Not even big enough to be in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade!

I was actually thinking about that. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has more impressive displays. I was expecting something MASSIVE.
A blimp smaller than a bouncy castle. Amazing.

Here's a real shot of those THOUSANDS OF PROTESTORS and MASSIVE #TrumpBabyBlimp the media told us about in London. pic.twitter.com/QRD6xnYOzc

I’ve seen footage of a LOT of protesters, but this “blimp” is unremarkable to say the least.

Wow, the size of this balloon. It can be seen from at least 20 metres away. Trump will think twice before visiting the UK again I can tell you. pic.twitter.com/ZOBcmeF4JR— Daradol (@Daradol1) July 13, 2018
sort of the perfect expectations v. reality metaphor for #TheResistance pic.twitter.com/LIb7WFWHsM

Not so YUGE after all. Sad!
