It is nearly the Year of the Rooster and China is celebrating in true 2017 fashion — with a Donald Trump joke.

Giant "inflatable Trump roosters" have gone on sale in the country after one erected in the city of Taiyuan went viral, BuzzFeed News reports. You can order your own Trump rooster for as little as $50 for a six-foot Trump or as much as $5,300 for one that stands 52 feet tall.
