Trump to be greeted in Dayton with protests, 'Baby Trump' blimp

President Trump will be met with protests and the “Baby Trump” inflatable balloon when he visits Dayton, Ohio on Wednesday to meet victims' families and local leaders in the wake of a mass shooting that claimed nine lives.

Organizers raised enough money in recent days to have the 20-foot balloon transported from Chicago to Dayton before Trump arrives Wednesday, according to The Washington Post.

The balloon, depicting Trump as an angry baby in a diaper holding a cellphone, will be filled with air instead of helium.

The balloon will also be holding a sign that reads: “Welcome to Toledo Dayton! Don’t be a baby — Stand up to the NRA.” The word “Toledo” will be crossed out, a reference to Trump’s gaffe when mixed up the Ohio cities during a televised address Monday......

It was my mother's and is my husband's. I spent a great deal of time there growing up and vacationed there often until about 10 years ago. I know things have really been on a sharp decline there over the years. My heart broke when I heard about the shootings, in a place that brought me so much joy over the years. I'm happy to see they are fed up and not welcoming this BS photo op.
