25. I think there are different sizes of them

and you'll see the smaller way up off the ground. But I think what happened here was what has apparently happened during other events when one was present - an issue regarding what they would be allowed to fill it with. I just found this article from an earlier appearance of one during the summer July 4th festivities and how the permit only allowed it to be filled with air and not helium, thus it could not be floated (and was forced to be stationary at one location) -

Code Pink denounces no helium decision for Trump baby blimp

Activists planning to fly the “Baby Trump” blimp during President Trump’s “Salute to America” event on July 4 were told by the National Park Service (NPS) that they could not fill the balloon with helium, essentially grounding the giant inflatable.

While the park service reportedly granted feminist anti-war group Code Pink a permit to have the balloon in Washington Thursday, the permit does not allow the group to fill the 20-foot representation of Trump with helium and float it off the ground. “It is ironic that it is right here, in the ‘land of the free,’ the balloon is being grounded,” Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin said in a statement.

NPS rules do not allow helium-filled blimps, and park service spokesman Mike Litterst told The Washington Post that the no-fly zone includes downtown Washington. Additionally, the permit approved by the park service did not allow the group to fly the balloon in the requested location, meant to be within line of sight of the Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall, where Trump will give a speech Thursday evening.

Instead, the “Baby Trump” balloon will be stationed near the Washington Monument, where it will be allowed to stay for 15 hours throughout the day’s festivities.
