Donald Trump Jr mocks his father by retweeting a picture of a giant BABY blimp
>
Donald Trump Jr mocked his father by sharing a meme depicting him as a giant balloon baby, calling it “funny.”
The 45-year-old retweeted the image of the Trump Baby Blimp after someone joked that it should fly over Beijing after US authorities shot down China’s spy balloon.
On Saturday, a suspected “spy balloon” was shot down off the coast of South Carolina by US warplanes after crossing several US states.
Trump Jr previously tweeted that Americans should be allowed to “do their thing” and shoot down the balloon themselves.
After the Chinese balloon was shot down, he retweeted the image of his father as an angry baby, with a full cell phone.

The 45th president later compared the spy balloon incident and ensuing diplomatic crisis to the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan presided over by his successor, President Joe Biden, in August 2021.
He captioned the image of the balloon, which was designed to troll Trump during a visit to London, with ‘I’m not going to lie… This is funny.’
It’s unclear if his father is aware of the image or his son’s fun with the baby’s blimp, having previously been banned from using Twitter.
The balloon took to the skies above Parliament Square during protests over Trump’s state visit to the UK in June 2018.
It was sent to its final resting place at the Museum of London, which displays the 20-foot orange effigy as part of its protest collection.

Writing on his Truth Social app, he said: “The Chinese globe situation is an embarrassment, as is the Afghanistan horror show and everything else surrounding the grossly incompetent Biden Administration,” the former president wrote on his Truth Social app. .
‘They are only good at cheating in elections and misinforming, and now they are posting that China put up a Globe during the Trump Administration, to take the ‘heat’ off Biden’s slow fools.
President Biden told reporters that he wanted the balloon shot down last Wednesday, but was warned against making the order due to the risk of civilian injuries from falling debris.

The White House did not inform the Americans about the Chinese spy balloon hovering over the country until the US military shot it down.
Beijing warned that it “reserves the right to use the necessary means to deal with similar situations.”
The Defense Department said Saturday that “Chinese balloons briefly transited the continental United States at least three times during the previous administration.”
Former President Trump responded by saying: ‘China had too much respect for ‘TRUMP’ for this to happen, and it NEVER happened. ONLY FALSE DISINFORMATION!’
And on Sunday, Fox News reported that at least one balloon was flown over parts of Texas and Florida while Trump was in office.
Multiple Trump officials, in addition to the former president, have also questioned the Pentagon’s assessment and relevant media reports.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government criticized the US shooting down the balloon as an “overreaction”.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry said: ‘The United States used force to attack our civil unmanned aircraft, which is an obvious overreaction.
‘We solemnly protest against this move by the US.’
Beijing warned that it “reserves the right to use the necessary means to deal with similar situations.”
