4 'Baby Trump' Balloons To Be Delivered In NJ

BEDMINSTER, NJ — Anti-Trump activists are having not just one "Baby Trump" balloon the next time they protest. Nor are they having "twins," or even "triplets." As "Baby Trump" balloons go, they are having quadruplets.

The set of four "Baby Trump" balloons will soon be delivered to Bedminster and across New Jersey due to the amount of money donated to activists.

One of the activists Jim Girvan of Branchburg told NJ Advance Media they had gone "from a single baby to expecting quadruplets."

Didier Jiminez-Castro, a local activist from Hillsborough and Girvan, were blown away by the amount of money that came in after coming together and starting the fundraiser on July 17.

The 20-foot-tall balloon — depicting President Donald Trump as an angry, diaper-wearing, cell phone-carrying baby — made its debut on July 13 when Trump visited Great Britain. And the fundraiser was to bring the balloon to America.

"We were inspired by the patriotic actions of our friends in the UK. We are dedicated to pushing back against Donald Trump and his administration's assault on our democracy and the American values we hold so dear," the activists wrote on their GoFundMe page.

The initial hope was to raise $4,500 to cover the costs to bring the balloon overseas to Bedminster. However, nearly $24,000 was raised before the fundraiser closed on July 18.

"We are now expecting twins or even triplets!" the activists posted on their Facebook page Baby Trump Tour on July 17.

In the last day, more money was raised to allow the group to purchase four "Baby Trump" balloons. The activists are "working closely" with the creators of the balloon in the UK to use their design and create four balloons to be lifted into the air in Bedminster and across New Jersey.

The balloons are expected to arrive in New Jersey sometime within the next four weeks.

The group then plans to head on tour with the "Baby Trump" balloons to bring him across the county, coast-to-coast.

"Our goal is to make Baby Trump available to various locations around the country. Dozens of locations have reached out to us. Therefore, we are building a Team to manage the tour to make sure that Baby gets as much exposure as possible," according to an update on the GoFundMe page.

All of the funds collected are being used to purchase the "babies," future shipping fees while on tour, permits, security, publicity, baby sitter gear and other Baby Trump stuff.
