Activists say they've been granted a permit to fly the 'Baby Trump' balloon on the National Mall — but as of now, because the Park Service says it has to be inflated with cold air instead of helium, it might not get higher than two feet off the ground
The activist group CODEPINK said Tuesday it has been granted a permit to fly the"Baby Trump" balloon on the National Mall on July Fourth, in a location where a National Park Service official said it might be seen by President Donald Trump.
In a press release, the organization said, “regarding the location, we had requested a space on the large, empty expanse at the base of the Washington Monument that would not have obstructed anyone’s view but would have allowed the president to see the baby. Instead we were only given location options that were outside the line of sight. We chose the northwest quadrant just off 17th Street but feel there was no reason to deny us our right to protest the president where he could see us.
CODEPINK said it will be holding a press conference Wednesday in front of the Lincoln Memorial to protest, “the militarization of July 4 and talk about our plans to fly"Baby Trump" with helium and hold a “Trump is a Big Baby” Festival.”
