Giant Blow-Up Donald Trump Chicken Arrives At VA Radford University To “Spark Conversation”

RADFORD, VA. (THECOUNT) — Radford University is hosting a giant blow-up chicken resembling President Donald Trump in an effort to “spark conversation,” according to student organizers.

Senior student Geoffrey Preudhomme, a lead organizer in making the Trump Chicken happen on-campus, claims it’s all to encourage and educate students to get out the vote for the upcoming 2018 midterm elections.

“If student voters not just in Virginia district but across the nation all got out and vote, we can see politics that are more reflective (of) how the majority feels. But the majority doesn’t vote so that’s what we have to change,” Preudhomme said. source

“I am out here today because we are in the midst of one of the most important off year, I think, or most important (of any) elections in our lifetime,” Preudhomme said.

One of Preudhomme’s interesting goals is to beat his organizations, the Young Democrats of RU, record of registering 1,600 students last year.

THECOUNT.com erroneously reported the phrase “according to school officials.” Radford University officials have not commented on the matter.
