The Museum of London wants to immortalize the Trump baby balloon
The Trump baby balloon could soon be immortalized in the United Kingdom.
The Museum of London, which traces the city's history from prehistoric to modern times, reportedly wants to house the blimp depicting President Trump as an infant as part of a protest exhibit. Fortunately for the museum, the owners of the balloon are into the idea, making it likely visitors will catch a glimpse of the peculiar resistance symbol for a long time to come, for better or worse.
