The widely heralded Trump baby balloon protest in London fell flat as many were left wondering what the organizers had spent £30,000 on.
The Trump baby blimp received endless mainstream media coverage in the run up to Trump’s UK visit, yet was airborne for less than two hours and appeared tiny amidst the London skyline.
Can't work out which is more pathetic – the size of the Trump balloon or the size of the protests. #TrumpBabyBlimp pic.twitter.com/WHzSNYagFG

Within 2 hours, the balloon was being deflated.

Most of the protesters appeared to have no idea as to what they were protesting against.

The BBC described the protests as “large scale,” which was somewhat generous.
“Large scale.”
I’ve been in queues that had more people. 😄#TrumpProtest #TrumpBabyBlimp pic.twitter.com/oTXZHsYL1f

Others settled for the stunning and brave act of flipping off a helicopter or banging pots and pans in a field.
I think this kind of sums up the Trump visit. Angry, frustrated people giving the finger to a retreating helicopter. pic.twitter.com/vKp259byRh

As we highlight in the video below, while tens of thousands are expected to protest Trump in London, the streets were largely empty when actual dictators came to town.
