The massive 'Baby Trump' balloon that gained global fame photo-bombing the London skyline during President Trump's visit to the U.K could soon be headed to Bedminster, thanks to a group of Democratic activists who hope to taunt the President whenever he stays at any of his golf courses.
But there's still one problem that might put Baby Trump in a corner: Some rather obscure FAA regulations on dirigible airships.
"There's no local ordinance preventing us from doing it," said Jim Girvan a retired Somerset county worker who's now a Democratic activist with the Branchburg Democrats. "But obviously he adds a different element to the calculation."
"He" of course, is the non-inflatable President, and both the U.S. Secret Service and Federal Aviation Administration have strict rules about what can and cannot enter the FAA's Temporary Flight Restriction area that surrounds him.
Technically, nothing can fly - no planes, no drones - in the 10-nautical-mile-radius surrounding wherever the President is staying.
Jim Peters, a spokesman at the FAA's office of communications, all referred questions about Baby Trump to the U.S. Secret Service.
But luckily for the Democrats, the Secret Service notes that Baby Trump is always tethered to the ground with ropes, so it doesn't really fly so much as float.

Perfect target for BB guns.........................
Do they realize they make no sense?
Unlike the UK, the American 2A will ensure that these balloons will be used only once.................
Some activism. Try doing something productive.
Show Obama’s Birth Certificate and you can get permit to fly.
NJ.com is so liberal.
At lease a decent pellet gun.
Drone swarm
We should adopt the little baby Trumps. Adopt. Not abort.
What insanity!
They will be so full of holes they will look like Swiss cheese.............

I’m thinking some kind of incendiary projectile would work better. Flaming latex droplets raining on commies would be entertaining and with YouTube coverage would act as a deterrent to future commie intervention.
Would lasers effect them?
(I know nothing about this type of thing.)

CUT THE CORD HOLDING IT DOWN AND IT’S GONE
THANK YOU. Perfect response. Callow and emotional - the attributes of many Dims today.

This is the Democrat Party in 2018?
Baby Trump balloons? A desire to taunt the President?
Welcome to grade school!
With mid term elections approaching the Democrat party has “open borders”, higher taxes, climate change, Russia, Russia, Russia, (for the second year in a row) and oh yeah Baby Trump balloons!
