Trump to face blimp baby in Irish protest

US PRESIDENT Donald Trump will face an inflatable blimp baby when he arrives in Ireland on Wednesday as protesters rally in Dublin’s Garden of Remembrance.

Demonstration organiser Shea Flanagan said they wanted to send “a message to the world that Trump is not welcome in Ireland. His politics of fear, hate and division affect the lives of real people.

“The blimp is a fun symbol for serious work, to come together and fight for progressive politics,” he added.
