Our Story
The Baby Trump Balloon first took flight over Parliament Square in London on July 13, 2018. Inspired by the creative genius of Matt Bonner, Max Wakefield and their team of intrepid Baby Sitters, it flew to greet Trump on his official visit to the UK. When we saw the Baby on TV flying in London to greet Trump, we knew we had to get the Baby to the US. Discussions with the UK creators started immediately as did the fundraiser to cover any costs of purchasing a replica. Within 72 hours an international crowdfunding effort raised over $23,000, enough to purchase 6 Babies!
Members and supporters of the People’s Motorcade (PM) in New Jersey quickly organized the Baby Trump Tour. A plan and structure were developed to get their newly acquired Babies to locations across the United States. To do this, the PM created the Baby Trump Adoption Service. It offered the opportunity for activist organizations across the country to adopt a Baby for their event opposing the White House of Horrors. For Baby Trump Tour, it started with our coming out party at Politicon on October 19, 2018. Our Baby had been invited to the to the largest stage for political discourse in the country!
Traveling to dozens of cities, states and two countries, our Babies flew during his presidency in opposition to him and his agenda. In 2020 we briefly celebrated as he was escorted out of office back to Mara Lago. It had been a long battle and we thought that the American people had seen enough of this convicted felon, conman, narcissist, and liar who led an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. But like a festering wound on the fabric of our democracy, he would not go away.
Fast forward to 2025. Trump is back in the White House. Trump 2.0 is worse than before. The guardrails have been removed and Project 2025 is rolling out like a horror franchise reboot no one asked for. Immigrants are being rounded up. DEI offices are being purged. Students are being detained and deported to Salvadorian prisons. US citizens are being detained and deprived of their Constitutional rights to due process and equal protection. Our nation’s healthcare is being guided by roadkill eating antivaxxer. The DOD looks like a group chat from The Purge being led by a drunk, womanizing TV host with no leadership skills. His Tariff Wars have turned the world’s best economy into a rollercoaster ride of uncertainty. He threatens law firms with retribution should they represent anyone that opposes him. He openly defies Federal and Supreme Court orders with his try and stop me attitude. His entire cabinet is the antithesis of leadership and only there to bow to his every command and kiss the ring. Their only purpose is to inflict pain, cause chaos and tear down our once great Democracy. This is why, Baby Trump Flies Again!
We are waking up our Babies to get back into the fight. And it will be a fight! He and his Gestapo tactics will try and do everything they can to silence us. His minions rely on fear and intimidation as their weapons of choice. We will not be silenced and we will not comply! We will continue to fly in protest of this autocratic fascist regime.
Baby Trump Flies Again depends on the network of activist organizations resisting Trump. We rely on you to create events that our Babies can fly at. We have Babies in California, Florida and our home base of New Jersey. We at Baby Trump Tour are all volunteers but most events have associated costs. Check out our Gallery of Events page for ideas for an event. Our Services page shows how we can display the Baby and a contact form to invite us to your event.
