LOS ANGELES, CA — Commuters in downtown Los Angeles may have gotten a scare — or a laugh — Friday when the infamous "Baby Trump" balloon floated over the 110 and 10 freeway interchange in downtown L.A. to kick off Politicon.
The balloon is the same one that made international headlines over the summer when it floated above the Parliament building in London during President Donald Trump's visit. The balloon is a giant, orange, diapered baby Trump with a scowl and a comb-over.
Politicon, which sells itself as the “Unconventional Political Convention” includes big names from both sides of the aisle including unlikely speakers ranging from Ann Coulter and Chris Christie to Henry Winkler, Michael Avenatti and Clay Aiken. The convention kicked off Friday at the LA Convention Center.
