This was one political gathering for Donald Trump whose numbers had to be inflated.
Pink balloons shaped like penises flew into the Manhattan sky outside of the former president’s hush money trial Thursday to protest those prosecuting him and other perceived enemies, the artist who launched them said.
A floating presence for Trump, such as the Trump baby blimp, often is meant to mock the heavily indicted GOP presidential candidate.
But not this time.
The mylar army released from a U-Haul sported the faces of Alvin Bragg, the district attorney in Trump’s current trial; trial Judge Juan Merchan; Jack Smith, the special counsel prosecuting Trump in federal cases related to election-scheming and the mishandling of classified documents; and Judge Arthur Engoron, who presided over Trump’s business fraud civil trial and ordered him to pay hundreds of millions in fines.
“I’m an artist, so what do I do? Return the favor by humiliating these dicks,” Scott LoBaido said in video shared by Fox 5 New York reporter Michelle Arezou Ross.
She also posted a clip of the balloons taking flight.
LoBaido told the New York Post the 100-balloon demonstration cost him about $1,500 and took him two days to put it together.
He accused those behind the soaring visages of attempting to destroy Trump and the Constitution, the tabloid reported.
