DONALD TRUMP is currently halfway through his four-day visit to the UK, and will meet with the Queen for an afternoon tea later today. Widespread protests have taken part as a result, among them a gigantic inflatable blimp - but who created the Donald Trump baby balloon?
Mr Trump’s first official visit to the UK has seen marked with widespread protests against him scheduled through the weekend.
The president has already set foot in London where he visited the US embassy, and stayed with the ambassador in Regent’s Park.
Today, he will meet with Theresa May and the Queen before heading over to Scotland where he is expected to play golf on one of his courses.
Following him while he’s here is a rotund orange baby parodying the president with an orange complexion and small handsdesigner Matt Bonner, who raised a total of £29,000 to fund the project.
The blimp was designed via Adobe illustrator, where Mr Bonner toyed with the idea of adding in a tear to the blimp’s face.
Instead, the artist settled on Trump’s trademark pout, and coloured the facial area a darker shade of orange compared to the rest of the body.

The models noticeably small hands can be seen clutching a smartphone, which Mr Bonner included as a details of the President’s voracious twitter habit.
Once Mr Bonner had finished, designs were passed along to Leicestershire based Imagine Inflatables.
The inflatable is made out of a £3,500 sheet of thin plastic and is inflated with £700 worth of helium.
The final product was able to secure the permissions of the Met Police and National Air Traffic Service, which is insisting the balloon not fly any higher than 30 metres, according to Mr Bonner.

Organiser and charity communications officer Daniel Jones said the point was to deliver a serious message whilst also making people laugh.
He said: "It's also about giving a boost to those in America resisting his policies."
Protestors gathered at the location, and one man attended dressed as a gorilla wearing a Trump plastic mask while confined in a large metal cage.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan rejected suggestions the blimp showed a lack of respect to the U.S. president.
