Many people in the UK believe Donald Trump is baby, so in honor of his upcoming state visit Londoners are bringing back the beloved Trump Baby Blimp.

When Trump visited the UK back in July 2018, a man named Leo Murray first flew the giant, helium-filled 19.7-foot tall blimp of a baby Donald Trump wearing a diaper and holding a cell phone in his hand. The action was allowed after 10,000 people backed a petition that asked London's mayor Sadiq Khan to permit the blimp to take flight.

Now, in June 2019, the "Together Against Trump" group is inflating the blimp again and has several protests against the president planned, including gathering outside Buckingham Palace during the State Banquet on Monday, showing up on Downing Street when he meets Theresa May on Tuesday, and following him to Portsmouth on Wednesday.

To get everyone excited for the President's arrival, Sky News has even dropped a dramatic Trump Baby Blimp trailer.

A spokesperson from the "Together Against Trump" group told ABC News that the main event will be taking place on Tuesday in London's Trafalgar Square, when the mayor of London granted permission to fly the blimp. According to the event page on Facebook, nearly 8,000 people are planning to attend and another 33,000 have shown interest.

A crowdfunding page called "Bring Trump Baby Back" hasn't met it's target goal but notes the blimp will still take flight after Trump touches down in the UK, which he probably won't be too happy about.

"I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London," Trump told The Sun after the blimp welcomed him in 2018. "I used to love London as a city... I haven't been there in a long time. But when they make you feel unwelcome, why would I stay there?"

It seems many people are excited for the return of Baby Trump, though, so the president might want to start preparing to feel "unwelcome" again.

Welcome to the resistance, baby.
