IRELAND/PROTESTS/RALLY/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Protesters in Dublin on Thursday [6-6-19] hoisted the ‘Trump Baby’ inflatable blimp that has become a staple of rallies against the U.S. president, who was spending his second night in a row at a golf hotel he owns in Ireland. The six-meter high blimp, which depicts Donald Trump as a snarling, diaper-wearing orange baby, was a rallying point for thousands of anti-Trump protesters who packed central London on Tuesday [6-4-19] and tens of thousands who protested in the city against a trip last year. A few thousand rain-soaked people marched down Dublin’s main thoroughfare of O’Connell Street, a day after Trump’s sons received a warm reception from locals in the village that adjoins Trump’s golf course 300 km (185 miles) to the west.”
