WATCH: Giant inflatable Trump chicken spotted outside White House

WASHINGTON - An inflatable chicken popped up outside the grounds of the White House on Wednesday (August 9).

The chicken, named Don, sported a shock of golden hair, styled in a manner similar to US President Donald Trump's.

TV images showed the giant white chicken tethered to the Ellipse facing the White House.

Its owner, Taran Singh Brar, a resident of Orange County, California, said he was using the inflatable to "bring awareness to how bad and destabilising our leader is."

Earlier this year, a similar inflatable was used by organisers of the Tax Day march to urge Trump to release his taxes.

Trump is currently on a 17-day vacation in Bedminister, New Jersey.
