Trump Baby Blimp Will Appear At Trump’s July 4 Military Display. Kind Of.
The government won’t allow the legendary balloon to be filled with helium and banned it from the Lincoln Memorial, where Trump will speak.

President Donald Trump is getting an unwelcome visitor during his big boy July 4 military display in Washington, but he may not know it’s there.

Trump’s attempt to make the nation’s Independence Day an ode to himself will include military tanks, fighter jets, troops and Republican supporters in the nation’s capital, and a speech by the president from the Lincoln Memorial.

A guest is also scheduled to make an appearance: the infamous Trump baby blimp used around the world to mock the president. The National Park Service on Monday signed off on a permit by activist group Codepink to feature the balloon, but it included some caveats that might deflate the impact.

1. Breaking News: U.S. Government Refuses to Allow Helium Balloon at 4th of July Parade

Will Allow Heavily Armed Nazis, Warplanes, and Tanks Instead!

7. Could be that the park service

10. You have a good point there...

The park service said it could not be filled with helium, but they did not mention hydrogen.

[obamanut2012]

13. It said it had to be filled with cold air

So, no hydrogen or helium, only "regular" air.

8. Bummer. n/t

9. did they only ban helium?

How about letting it fly with a mixture of hot air and cat shit, on a very short flight to be terminated with rapid deflation in the vicinity of the orange buffoon?
