Your support makes all the difference.US President Donald Trump may be out of town, but fear not - one plucky protester is keeping a beady eye on the White House.
A giant inflatable chicken bearing the unmistakable hairstyle of America's commander-in-chief has transfixed tourists and TV cameras in the nation's capital.
Twitter users quickly posted dozens of images of the irate-looking fowl with a golden pompadour seemingly glaring down at the White House from a nearby green space known as the Ellipse.
And the chicken even appeared clearly in the background of a major news network's live interview.
The Trump chicken balloon has appeared in Washington before, most recently before a protest in April to pressure the President into releasing his tax returns.
It even has its own Twitter account: TaxMarchChicken.
