Firm wants to fly golden pig balloons in front of Chicago's Trump Tower

CHICAGO — A Chicago-based design company is planning a prominent public display that is sure to raise eyebrows.

New World Design Ltd. told the Chicago Tribune that they are planning to fly four golden pig balloons in front of Trump Tower in Chicago this summer. The balloons, each the size of a London bus, would be strategically placed to cover up Trump's name on the iconic building located along the riverfront.

The pigs would fly for a single day, likely in August or September, if the plan is approved by the city. The golden swine display is intended to reflect the ridiculous nature of politics in D.C., according to design firm principal Jeffrey Roberts.
