UPDATE: 7 things to know about the 'Baby Trump' balloon coming to N.J.

A New Jersey group of activists completed a campaign to bring a giant balloon of baby President Trump to the Garden State, after the blimp stole the show during protests in the U.K. over the weekend.

The 20-foot high caricature -- depicting an angry, cell-phone toting President Trump wearing a diaper -- made its debut during Trump's first official visit to Britain on Friday, as he was greeted by tens of thousands of protesters.

As soon as Hillsborough resident and activist Didier Jimenez saw the anti-Trump symbol, he said he immediately sought out how to bring the balloon to the U.S.

"I saw that as a gift to us in the sense that the balloon is a tool to enable us to go after the president in a humor kind of way," Jimenez told NJ Advance Media Sunday afternoon.

Jimenez collaborated with the People's Motorcade, a local group that holds protests at Trump's National Golf Club in Bedminster, and together created a GoFundMe page to raise money for the balloon.

Trump made his most recent visit to the Somerset County golf club at the end of June.

The group met its goal of raising $4,500 in just 22 hours, according to Jimenez.

"The baby Trump is not just a piece of humor, but it is also a symbol of the administration. It's symbolic of the children that are in cages, it's a symbol of racism, and we know that he hates to be ridiculed," Jimenez said.

Jimenez said the balloon should be delivered by mid-August, as he promised to document the process of ordering and building the blimp on social media.

He created a Twitter and Facebook account, both bearing the name "Baby Trump Tour."

Thank you to all of your generous donations to make this happen. Baby Trump will arrive in the US in about 4 weeks. Prior to that we will be putting together a team of experienced organizers from the Resistance to manage the tour. Submit your location for consideration.

The GoFundMe campaign raised over $5,200 as of Sunday afternoon. Jimenez said they plan on using the additional funds toward taking the balloon to rallies throughout the East Coast.

"It's not just going to be anti-Trump, but we will also focus on how we can fix these issues," he said.

The balloon was also raised in Scotland where 10,000 people marched in protest at the nation's capital on Saturday.
