An inflatable rooster that resembles President Donald Trump was spotted on the lawn outside the White House Wednesday afternoon, setting off a series of tweets pointing out that the development was right on schedule for the state of American politics in 2017.

The 'chicken' could be seen on wide shots of the White House sitting roughly midway between the Washington Monument and the residence of the commander-in-chief.

The art piece appears identical to a 13-foot-tall inflatable chicken that became the de facto mascot for tax marches around the country on April 15, which called for Trump to finally release his tax returns.

As previously reported by the Seattle-PI, Seattle has a unique claim to the chicken-turned-tax-march mascot: Casey Latiolais, the artist behind the inflatable's design, is from Seattle.

He was originally commissioned to produce something rooster-like for this year's zodiac animal (the rooster). The likeness to the president is coincidence and unintended, and the inflatables were originally hatched as an attraction in Chinese shopping malls to celebrate the new year.

But Latiolais told Reuters in January that he does agree there's some undeniable likeness.

"I can definitely say Mr. Trump has a lot of similarities in that he likes to tweet," Latiolais said.

"And he also likes to tweet at or around sunrise, and if you take away the fact that roosters are kind of loud and self-absorbed, then I think you can start drawing similarities that way."

The chickens are made at a factory in eastern China. It wasn't immediately clear who was behind Wednesday's stunt.
