I received my tRump Baby Balloon!

[fleur-de-lisa]

I haven't had a chance to fill him with helium yet, but he looks just like the photo in this tweet. I am surprised at how big they are for only $20 (over 3 feet in height).

They are union-made in the US. All proceeds go to erect billboards in districts where congressional repubes are in trouble. And to fly the huge ass "Impeachment Now" banners behind planes.

I'm going to fill him with helium and drive him around in the back seat of my car. On Sunday, he goes to the Indivisible Mid-Term March with me!

4. How much for the helium?

[fleur-de-lisa]

8. I haven't filled him yet but other folks are reporting

that party stores are charging as little as $1 to fill him in the store.

Other people are buying their own helium tanks, which seems silly for one balloon because they are one-time use. Buying a tank would make sense if you bought a whole bunch of the balloons, I guess.

After he deflates, I plan to tape him inside my car against the glass in the back seat so he can watch the cars go by as I drive him around town.

23. Is it a Mylar balloon? They stay inflated for weeks & even months!

Then, you can refill them! I know because I save ours from birthdays and other events and refill them several times. Be sure to tie the string or ribbon below the filling port/slit opening.

I think I need a Trump Baby for my car too! Just $20! 😀

[fleur-de-lisa]

26. Yes, he is mylar. Thanks for the tip!

30. You are welcome!

You can go to your local grocery or dollar store and get the ballon filled with helium for about $1 or $2 dollars.

Just make sure to bring a string or ribbon with a clip or ballon weight or ask for a ribbon at the store. Make sure the ribbon gets tied BELOW the filling port! The ballon seals itself shut somehow.

We have lost a few helium balloons🎈between the store and the car! So, do hold on to your helium balloon tightly and secure with a clip or weight! Also, you don’t want it to get sucked out of the open car window like my son’s orange Publix balloon did! That was a sad day for a little boy. 😞 You also don’t want it floating around unsecured in a the car while you are driving. A ziplock bag of marbles or pebbles makes a good weight.

Let us know what the reactions are to your new Baby Trump!

20. You don't need helium if he is going to sit in a car - just air will work.

27. I plan to take him to an anti-Kavanaugh rally this Sunday.

5. Just got mine too. Where will you fill it?

There's a party supply store near me that's usually pretty crowded. I looked online and saw that sometimes Safeway (grocery store chain) will fill them.

9. See post #8.

18. Dollar Tree

Fills balloons (my son used to work there). I imagine they might charge $1.

6. Mine arrived today as well. Love the hammer and sickle diaper pin.

[KT2000]

7. Wow!

It's bigger than I thought. Where will you fly it?

[fleur-de-lisa]

11. I'm gonna put him in the back seat of my car after I have him filled with helium after work today.

He will stay there, watching the traffic as I drive him around, until I attend a local anti-Kavanaugh rally this Sunday. I will let him roam around in the air while tethered to my backpack during the rally.

I don't know how long he will stay inflated, but once he runs out of steam, I'm going to tape him inside my car in the back seat, against the glass, so he is visible while I drive around. Just to piss of the pubes.

[KT2000]

12. Yay!

[Hekate]

10. Congrats! My friend in Florida is hanging hers from her balcony on Labor Day. nt

13. Mine is out for delivery!

I live on the Oregon coast where kite flying is big. Do you think it could fly as a kite? The local Dollar store sells helium balloons - I am assuming that they will fill it for me.

I didn't realize it is a one-time use. Guess I have to save it for a special occasion like a protest or election day.

[fleur-de-lisa]

17. That's my understanding, that it's one time use because the opening has to be sealed once inflated.

I don't know how long they stay inflated.

I'm thinking of ways to use him once he goes flat. I will drive him around in my car taped inside the back seat for a while.

I work in a high-rise building, so I plan to tape him inside a window in my office and take pictures of him from the top of a nearby garage.

I think I'm going to have fun with this!

15. Cool! Thanks!

It's the perfect accessory for protests in front of Treason Tower on Fifth Ave.
Been a long time since I've walked down the street with a balloon. It'll make me feel young.

16. I was going to order one for my wife, but I'm kind of troubled by the chest hair an nipples.

19. Much better looking than the real thing.

[Gothmog]

21. I want one

[Totally Tunsie]

22. maddogpac.com also happily accepts donations online.

Keep 'em flying!

[Honeycombe8]

24. I want one! Better if it were a punching bag, tho. nt

[fleur-de-lisa]

28. Funny you should mention punching bags.

They are about to start producing those too. I don't think they are ready yet though.

[Honeycombe8]

29. Shut me up and send me to heaven!!!!! I'll continue to check it out! nt
