A mall in China is ushering in the year of the rooster, 2017, with a bizarre rendering of the animal: a hybrid of a rooster and Donald Trump.
Located outside of a mall in the northern city of Taiyuan, the sculpture was commissioned by the company that owns the mall, reports CNN [4]. The artist is actually Seattle-based American artist Casey Latiolais [5], who acknowledged the rooster hybrid was his design on Twitter [6].
Never fear: if you're already asking how to get your hands on a smaller version for your desk, fans of the Trump rooster can purchase replicas of the statues on the Chinese ecommerce giant Alibaba.
Take a look at more pictures of the sculpture via Twitter below. Trump-a-doodle-doo?
