WATCH: Trump-Haired Inflatable Chicken Near White House As Symbol Of Protest

While President Donald Trump is away on a vacation at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, a 30-foot inflatable chicken with a similar hairdo like that of Trump appeared on the Ellipse — a plot of land south of the White House — on Wednesday. The prop soon went viral on social media.

This prop of inflatable chicken has been used in the past as well to coax the president to release his tax returns. It had become the unofficial mascot during tax march rallies, the New York Times reported.

The balloon, in the shape of a chicken, was set up by documentary filmmaker Taran Singh Brar to protest regarding the president "being a weak and ineffective leader," the Huffington Post reported.

In an interview with the publication, Singh Brar said: "He’s too afraid to release his tax returns, too afraid to stand up to Vladimir Putin.” He also said Trump was “playing chicken with North Korea.”

Steven Nelson from Washington Examiner tweeted a photograph of Singh Brar.

It was not easy for Singh Brar to set up the prop near the White House premises. However, after the culmination of a five-month process, he received his permit Tuesday from the National Park Services, the Washington Examiner reported.

As soon as the chicken balloon was set up, the area became crowded with people wanting to take photographs with it. The president missed out on the fun.

"When the president went on vacation, I felt a little bit bummed," Singh Brar said, adding, "And then I realized it's actually better because the [symbolism] works and the Secret Service won't be as jumpy."

Twitter users quickly posted dozens of images of the "irate-looking fowl."

The Trump chicken balloon even has its own Twitter account: @TaxMarchChicken. The balloon has been a protest prop across the country. eBay lists several available inflatable Trump chickens that are manufactured in China. A 10-foot Trump chicken sells for $500, reports said.

In November last year, a Seattle-based illustrator designed a giant rooster sculpture resembling Trump for a company that wanted a statue for the Chinese New Year to commemorate the Year of the Rooster. The 23-foot fiberglass statue was installed outside a shopping mall in Taiyuan, China. During that time, relations between the U.S. and China were strained as well, the Times reported.

Later, an activist in San Francisco came up with the idea of purchasing such chicken props for using them in the tax march, Jennifer Taub, a professor at Vermont Law School, said. Taub added the chickens were a “good symbol” for the march as Trump was too scared to release his tax returns and also because the chickens were "more fun and entertaining than tax policy."
