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.

They are like Hillary.
Trump lives in their heads.
They are so obsessed and eaten up with his existence they have lost control of their actions and senses.
They show us their agony 24/7 and we enjoy seeing them suffer under their own loss of mental capacity.
We laugh at them.
Who is funding these blimps and where are they made?
The Commiecrats are reduced to flying balloons to taunt the president.
There is a shooting range right up the road on rt 206.....
“...Do they realize they make no sense?...”
Too stupid to realize it, and too stupid to care.
Stupid is, as stupid does.
Massive, really?
This is what bb guns were made for.
This works against net the lions. They don’t get it.
The baby Trump has come to symbolize a rebirth of freedom everywhere Trump goes.
LOL! Massive!
It was a wee little thing.
The balloons or the nut jobs inflating them?
That was my first thought, how long until somebody shoots one of these out of the air?
Lefties are so stupid................
Less than an hour, I’d say...................
Sling shot sales going thru the roof.
