BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 06/26/19 08:51 AM EDT
The Baby Trump blimp that has followed President Trump around the world will fly just blocks from the White House in Washington, D.C., hours before his Fourth of July address.
Mike Litterst, a spokesman with the National Park Service, confirmed to Fox 5 this week that feminist anti-war group CodePink has been granted a permit to fly the notorious balloon during their anti-Trump demonstration.
It is unclear where the ballon be allowed to be set up on the National Mall, the outlet noted.
CodePink has raised more than $13,000 as of Wednesday to bring the blimp to its Freedom from Trump rally on July 4.

If I could turn that Trump blimp into a powered hang glider and fly it over Trump's parade.
