The blimp portraying Donald Trump as a baby that flew over London last week during the U.S. president's European tour could soon be in New Jersey's skies, Reuters reports. Anti-Trump activists announced Monday that they have raised more than enough money on GoFundMe.com to get the diaper-wearing balloon to Bedminster, N.J. The town, which the president regularly visits, is home to the Trump National Golf Club. During his first official visit to the U.K., Trump said he avoided London due to the blimp and the tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets.
