Hooray! Trump baby is expected to grace our shores with a special visit for when Trump (likely) comes here in November! Trump baby has heard our cries for help!
The thought of Trump being in the same country, and likely even the same city as David and I in Sydney, is extremely repulsive. A great stain on our country and our city of Sydney.
Having the Trump baby here will make all the difference, letting Trump know loud and clear that we don't want him here infesting our nation with his politics of hate, division, fear and lies. We're the most successful multicultural nation on earth. Trump and everything he stands for isn't welcome here (I use the word stand very generously there).
Besides, Trump is all talk and no go. A chicken shit with no balls. Typical bloody bully; falls apart when the chips are down. He's probably the most piss weak flaccid US president in at least living memory. Putin has him tied around his little finger. I guess he's a fitting metaphor to what is now the crumbling US empire. "Make America great again"? *pfffft*
Now, organisers in Australia say they are in talks to bring the blimp to Australia when Trump visits at the end of the year. While no date is set, Malcolm Turnbull invited the president to visit when they met in February, and it is expected Trump will visit after he attends the Apec summit in Papua New Guinea in November.
Organiser Simone White said the protest, currently titled United Against Trump, was directly inspired by the tens of thousands of protesters who took to the streets in the UK.
“The Trump baby blimp has become this kind of globally recognised symbol of opposition to Trump,” she said. “We have been in touch with the people that made the blimp and they are actually really keen to have it travel around the world. They’re excited to get the blimp to Australia. Now we’re just in the process of figuring out how to send it, which won’t be too hard.
“We’re expecting an absolutely enormous protest. We are expecting this could be one of the biggest protests in Australia in a long time. Our goal, like the goal of the protesters in the UK, is to make Trump feel like he is not welcome here.”
The New South Wales Greens MP David Shoebridge, who is also a member of the organising committee, said the visit could have domestic political ramifications if it went ahead.
“Australians can already feel the echoes of Trump and his politics on our political system,” he said. “Trump not only symbolises, but actually works to produce, a mean, nasty violent world that is riddled with racism and misogyny. If you don’t protest that, what do you stand up against?
“To date, Turnbull has cuddled up to Trump. If he continues down that path, I believe he will pay a very real domestic political price for it.”

White said she expected Australians to turn out in great numbers to reject the “global threat” that Trump represented.
“He stands for a global system that is escalating its attacks against refugees, against the poor, against women, against trans people and the LGBTI+ community and the working class,” she said. “We expect that people in Australia will be just as opposed to Trump as people in the UK because Trump represents this global threat to all these oppressed groups and the working class generally.” The Guardian
