In case you hadn't heard, Trump is finally planning to visit the UK on the 13 July.

To say he'll be greeted with a warm welcome might be pushing it a bit, but he'll certainly be greeted. Every time news of a Trump visit has broken in the past, protestors have made their feelings (and their plans) abundantly clear.

Well, it sounds like this visit -- assuming it doesn't get scrapped at the last minute -- will be no exception.

Earlier in the month a man called Leo Murray took to Twitter to make the following announcement.

A large Trump blimp certainly sounds interesting, but the description definitely doesn't do the thing itself justice.

Murray explained that he's hoping to fly the blimp over Parliament on the 13 July to coincide with Trump's visit -- but he'd initially been told by City Hall that it didn't qualify as a protest.

In an attempt to pressure the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan into letting the blimp fly, Murray set up a petition. At the time of writing it's closing in on 8,000 signatures.

In recent days, Murray's tweets have indicated he may be making progress.

"We have been advised there's no legal basis to the grounds given for refusal to date," he wrote. "Might be getting somewhere with City Hall."

On Tuesday, he announced that he was meeting with the London Assembly and the Metropolitan Police to see what can be done.

Murray has a backup plan, too. Earlier in the month, he launched a crowdfunding campaign for the Trump blimp which broke its initial target in 48 hours and has currently raised closed to £11,000 ($14,500).

According to the page, the stretch target will enable them "to hire a barge to guarantee that Trump Baby will fly, even if the authorities refuse to let us fly him from Parliament Square Gardens, and we are unable to find another free site in a suitably central location."

The page's most recent update, posted on Wednesday morning, claimed they have now raised so much money they'll be taking the blimp on a "world tour".

"After a lot of discussion about what would be most in keeping with the spirit of why people have been donating to this project, we've decided that the very best thing we can do with the surplus is to send #TrumpBaby out to follow little Donald around the world on his diplomatic demolition derby," the update read.

Looks like Trump may well have a new travelling mascot.

Mashable has reached out to Murray.
