Thousands protest in London as Trump blimp flies

A giant balloon of U.S. President Donald Trump as a baby has taken to the skies in London during Trump’s UK visit.

The orange baby Trump wearing a diaper and is holding a cellphone in his hand for tweeting.

The blimp was approved by London Mayor Sadiq Khan in the name of free speech.

Tens of thousands of people are marching in London in protests against Trump, accusing him of torture, misogyny and racism.

Meanwhile in a news conference Friday, Trump said the U.S. supports the British people’s decision to “realize full self-government” as it negotiates an exit from the European Union.

He called it a “very complicated negotiation.”

In 2016, a slim majority of Britons voted to break from the EU.

Trump criticized British Prime Minister Theresa May’s handling of Brexit negotiations in an interview with a British tabloid published on Thursday.

Despite the interview, Trump says his relationship with May is “very, very strong.”
