Handlers of the Trump baby blimp and thousands of police officers are preparing for the arrival of President Donald Trump and his family in London on Monday for a three-day state visit. Some 10,000 officers — including snipers backed by helicopters and bomb-sniffing dogs — will be assigned to London to keep the peace during Trump’s visit at a cost of some $32 million, The London Times reported. Ardent Trump critic London Mayor Sadiq Khan has granted permission for the infamous blimp to fly over London the second day of Trump’s visit, according to the Times. The 20-foot-high blimp portrays Trump as a giant baby in a diaper, holding a cell phone and having a temper tantrum. It’s “un-British” to “roll out the red carpet” for a president who betrays American ideals of equality, liberty and religious freedom, Khan wrote.
