[quote]President-elect Donald J. Trump’s golden quiff, bushy eyebrows and preening gestures were immortalized this week in China — though perhaps not in a way that he would like.
They appeared on a giant rooster statue, just above some three-toed feet and a blood-red wattle that hangs below a gilded nose and mouth.
The statue, which was installed outside a shopping mall in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuan, was built to celebrate the coming Year of the Rooster in the Chinese lunar calendar and comes less than a month before Mr. Trump’s inauguration. It is 23 feet tall.
Relations between Washington and Beijing have been especially jittery in recent weeks. The tension is due in large part to Mr. Trump, who belittled China during his presidential campaign and caused a diplomatic stir this month by making clear that he views the central basis for diplomatic relations between Washington and Beijing — known as the One China policy — as up for negotiation.
But reaction to the rooster on Chinese social media was light and full of positive emoji.
Global Times, a state-run tabloid, said on Tuesday that onlookers in Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province, had praised the statue as a “perfect blend of Chinese and Western cultures.”
“It’s not bad looking,” Zhang Guoqiang, an employee at the Yihui Japanese Restaurant at the North America N1 Art Shopping Center, where the statue is, said by telephone on Thursday.
Inflatable “Trump chicken” replicas were on sale at Taobao, an online shopping bazaar, with a 32-foot version advertised for $1,725.[/quote]

i'm really missing the naked erection of trump in that one park or something
I think the hands/wings are too big.
The "chin" thing looks like a proper nutsack, but I guess that's pretty much how they really look
It's kind of adorable.
Watch Trump tweet that he is going to bomb it out of existence.
Either that or he'll love it. I honestly don't know anymore.
Isn't the chicken a respected figure in China?
Or am I thinking of France.

Regardless,i think having this miniature version in my desk is pretty cool.
