- The Donald Trump baby blimp will not be flown during his state visit to the UK this week.
- Its creator, Leo Murray, stated that the political climate has changed, and it is “not really a laughing matter anymore.”
- The orange inflatable previously soared over London during Trump's visits in July 2018 and June 2019, sparking mass protests.
- Murray explained that after previous protests, those involved received death threats, making the current situation feel worse.
- The blimp has been gifted to the Museum of London and was briefly flown in January 2023 for preservation tests, with plans for its public display in 2026.
