A giant inflatable chicken made to resemble President Trump was sent to float around the White House on Wednesday, August 9th.
The Trump chicken was an act of protest by filmmaker Taran Singh Brar against the President.

The chicken, named Chicken Don, has its own Facebook and Twitter page documenting his journey.
The event is spurring intense reaction on social media after the chicken was spotted in a live broadcast at the White House.

The chicken is a “visual protest” with its own Go Fund Me page, which says “We think the coward squawking in the White House is too chicken to show his tax returns, too chicken to stand up to Putin, and too chicken to face the press. We’ve been inflating Chicken Don in his backyard so he knows no one is scared but him.”
