For President Donald Trump, a positive diagnosis for COVID-19 couldn't have come at a worse time. Aside from the very serious risk to his health, focusing the nation's attention on the pandemic is the last thing the Trump campaign wants to do. As Trump has now been hospitalized, he's all but powerless to reset his reelection campaign around issues like the Supreme Court and the economy. Some world leaders, like British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, saw a bump in approval from the public following a coronavirus diagnosis. However, it's highly unlikely Trump will receive such grace. He mocked opponent Hillary Clinton in 2016 for contracting pneumonia. He has also jeered at Vice President Joe Biden numerous times for wearing masks and scrupulously observing public health recommendations.
According to the Chinese calendar, 2017 is Year of the Rooster and one Chinese factory has rolled out a very special surprise right in time for Chinese New Year, which will take place in 2017 on Saturday, January 28. This giant, 65-foot-high inflatable chicken is called 'Super Trump', and the levitating caricature features a white chicken sporting the iconic blonde hairdo of the US president elect, sewn on in golden fabric. Oddly enough, this isn't the first time that Trump has been compared to a bird in China. Chinese social media is abuzz about the similarities between the President elect and a five-year-old golden pheasant called "Little Red", which appears to have the same slicked back blonde hairdo as the Donald. 'Super Trump' was designed by American artist Casey Latiolais and the factory is selling individual inflatable birds for just under 8 thousand dollars a pop.
