    • 2018 July 6, “دمية عملاقة على شكل "ترامب رضيع" في سماء لندن أثناء زيارة الرئيس الأمريكي [Giant 'Trump Baby' could fly over London for president's visit]”, in BBC Arabic[1]:
      وجمع ناشطون نحو 18 ألف جنيه استرليني لشراء دمية تنفخ بغاز الهيليوم طولها 6 أمتار، ويقولون إنها تجسد شخصية ترامب بأنه "مزاجي كالأطفال، ومغرور".
      Campaigners raised almost £18,000 for the helium-filled six-metre high figure, which they said reflects Mr Trump's character as an "angry baby with a fragile ego and tiny hands".
