An inflatable chicken that bears resemblance to US President Donald Trump has been seen in Washington.

The giant bird, which also features Trump's trademark hair, is being used to draw attention to his taxes.

He's refused to publicly release his past tax returns.

The chicken, named Chicken Don, is the brainchild of Taran Singh Brar.

Writing on his GoFundMe page, Brar 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."

Could it be a chicken's revenge...?
