The march was scheduled for April 15, the U.S.’ traditional tax filing day. (If you’ve been living in a bubble, the filing date has been pushed back to Tuesday due to the holidays. You still have time.)

In honor of the occasion, the perfect symbol has been borrowed from a bizarre statue in northern China: a big orange and white, blustering, bumbling rooster. The rationale is that tough–talking, deal-making Donald is too chicken to turn over his taxes for public scrutiny.
