A giant inflatable chicken with a golden hairdo to match Donald Trump was placed outside of the White House on Wednesday to protest the president.
"We're here to criticize the president as a weak and ineffective leader," said Taran Singh Brar, the documentary filmmaker behind "Chicken Don."
"He's too afraid to release his tax returns, too afraid to stand up to Vladimir Putin, and now he's playing chicken with North Korea."
Trump was not in Washington, D.C. to see the bird as he is in the midst of his 17-day vacation at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club. But plenty of admirers took photos with "Chicken Don," who sat on the grass between Constitution Avenue and the White House South Lawn. News outlets with cameras permanently perched across the street captured the chicken in their backdrop shots.
It took Brar five months to acquire the permit for the 30-foot air-filled balloon, which cost him $10,000 to purchase and insure.
