'Baby Trump' blimp now a world traveler, rallying point

President Donald Trump increasingly is being tailed and trolled by an angry diaper-clad caricature armed with a cell phone.

He's Baby Trump, the blimp who has become synonymous with resistance to the American president.

The idea of Baby Trump began ahead of the president's visit to London last year, when a group of activists gathered at a local pub to brainstorm ideas for a protest statement sure to get under Trump's skin.

Now, Baby Trump has been cloned multiples times over and become a world traveler. He's something of a celebrity for opponents of the president. He's also emerged as a rallying point for some supporters of the president, who see the blimp as evidence of just how over-the-top the opposition has become.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.

The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.

Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.

The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.

Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.

Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
