The Chinese are having great fun with the man they call “Bird Man,” “Bird Brain,” and “Rooster Tail.” Many laughed when they finally got a peek at him.

One onlooker, a man in his 70's, got too close to the president, grabbing a fistful of Mr. Trump’s flaxen hair. Asked why, the man responded, “I use for make bird’s nest soup.”

In a country where pheasants and roosters are considered delicacies, Mr. Trump’s golden feather top has made him instantly popular. The fact that he is also very plump had many of his Chinese greeters salivating in the streets.
