President Donald Trump will be welcomed in London next week by a 19-foot blimp dubbed “Trump baby,” according to a report on Thursday.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan gave the green light for the orange balloon depicting a sneering Trump wearing a diaper and holding a cellphone to hover near Parliament when the president arrives next Friday, Sky News reported.

Khan, who has been a persistent critic of the president, approved the request after thousands of people signed a crowdfunding campaign that raised more than $18,000 for the “Trump baby” zeppelin.

“The Mayor supports the right to peaceful protest and understands that this can take many different forms,” a Khan spokesperson said. “His city operations team have met with the organizers and have given them permission to use Parliament Square Garden as a grounding point for the blimp.”

The group behind the dirigible, who call themselves “art activists,” told the news outlet that the “clone of the president” will “hold up a mirror of truth” to the world.

The balloon will be tied to the ground so that it can fly no higher than 100 feet.

Trump will make his first visit to the United Kingdom next Friday and is expected to meet with Queen Elizabeth at Windsor Castle.
