Donald Trump is like a rooster in many ways. He has a tousle of red-orange hair at the top of his head, his orange coloring is attention grabbing and he wakes us all up at sunrise every morning with tweets about how Saturday Night Live is bad.

An artist in China, which will celebrate the Year of the Rooster in 2017, observed the connection between Trump and the bird and built a huge Trump-rooster statue in front of a shopping mall.

The statue was commissioned by the mall's owners and miniature versions of it are reportedly being sold inside and on the Chinese ecommerce site Taobao.
