The now-famous Trump baby blimp, which flew above protests across the UK as a defiant symbol against Donald Trump last week, could soon be on its way to the US.
A GoFundMe page to get the inflatable baby Trump – complete with bright orange skin and a nappy – stateside has raised more than $10,000 in just three days.
Activist Didier Jiminez-Castro set up the GoFundMe page to raise $4,500 to get the 20-foot blimp to Bedminster, New Jersey, where Mr Trump often golfs.
He said he was blown away by the support and was now planning for it to go on a nationwide tour.
The blimp floated over Britain’s parliament during the US president’s London visit, despite the objections of some conservatives.

London’s Mayor Sadiq Khan defended his decision to let demonstrators display it.
"The idea that we would park our rights and privileges and freedoms because it may cause offence to a US president, I think people in London and the UK would find objectionable as indeed would Americans,” he said.
