The reaction of the society: wide coverage in the media and discussion in social networks caused a boulder of support for the action, and mechanisms for open fund-raising and a petition against arrival made it possible to agree on a protest action.
The decision of the London mayor’s office to approve the launch of the balloon caused a lot of controversy among the British public and was sharply criticized by Trump supporters both in the USA and in the UK.
Khan told the British press that he did not intend to restrict freedom of speech only because someone might take offense at the result of this or that action. “As far as I know, there will also be a demonstration in support of Trump, I also did not prohibit it.”
Donald Trump is a big annoyed child with a fragile ego. He is also a racist, a demagogue, he poses a threat to women, migrants and minorities. He is deadly dangerous to world peace and the future of life on Earth. We want to make him (Trump) know that all of Britain despises him and laughs at him, – the organizers of the action “Tramp Baby” said.
International Respect: American activists have collected more than $ 14,000 to buy and transport to the United States from London the inflatable figure of American President Donald Trump as an evil baby in a diaper and with a mobile phone in his hand. Previously, the balloon was used for protests during the arrival of the American leader in the UK. Activists do not rule out the possibility of a national balloon tour, which may begin as early as August.
What they achieved: the information wave created by activists led to the fact that the whole world learned about the action. Thanks to the methods of petitions and support of residents of London, the action was not banned, and fund-raising took place on the basis of an Internet platform and demonstrated the openness of the action. The US president’s image before the meeting with the Queen of Great Britain was badly
soaked. The installation with the inflatable Trump was the number 1 news in the world.
