Yesterday, passersby near the south side of the White House were greeted by a massive Trump-inspired inflatable chicken. It was approximately 30 feet tall.

The designer of the chicken is a local artist and documentary maker, Taran Singh Brar. He said that the chicken was perfect to represent Trump because Trump is a chicken. Brar said, “he’s too afraid to release his tax returns, too afraid to stand up to Vladimir Putin, and playing chicken with North Korea.”

Unfortunately, the chicken has officially deflated, but it’s not the first chicken sighting. It appeared at Tax March protests earlier this year.
