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.
The blimp was initially flown over Parliamentary Square during Trump's visit to the country in 2018 and it is set to come out again this week for Trump's return. A knock-off, smaller version of the blimp could be seen hanging out in a BBC studio on Monday during a news broadcast, as well.

Joining the Trump blimp in the museum will reportedly an inflatable version of London Mayor Sadiq Khan depicted in a yellow bikini. While Trump would likely be displeased with the news in general, floating next to Khan for eternity would probably rankle him even more. The president is not a fan of the mayor (and vice versa), which he made clear in a pair of tweets sent just as he was landing in London.
