In addition to [mass demonstrations](http://time.com/5337991/trump-uk-protests/) in the capital and dozens of similar events planned [around the country,](https://www.stoptrump.org.uk/events/) a giant [“Trump baby” balloon](http://time.com/5331447/trump-baby-inflatable-london-khan/) of a very orange Trump wearing a diaper flew over the city. Trump told _The Sun_ the blimp makes him feel “[unwelcome](http://time.com/5337991/trump-uk-protests/).” Trump Dalek Appears on London Streets During President Visit ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5338168/trump-dalek/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5338168/trump-dalek/"},"headline":"A Trump 'Dalek' in a Red Tie Has Taken to the Streets of London","datePublished":"2018-07-13T15:20:43.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:53:50.619Z","description":"No word on who the Dalek Trump wants to exterminate","url":"https://time.com/5338168/trump-dalek/","keywords":["Newsfeed","politics","doctor who","london","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blted84b9474a6f3099/69893554ab6d772b3f6b32c0/gettyimages-997766360.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blted84b9474a6f3099/69893554ab6d772b3f6b32c0/gettyimages-997766360.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Protests Against Donald Trump's Visit Take Place Across The UK","caption":"Protests Against Donald Trump's Visit Take Place Across The UK","creditText":"John Keeble—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5338168/trump-dalek/","name":"A Trump 'Dalek' in a Red Tie Has Taken to the Streets of London"}}]}] ```
