Chinese social media users have mocked Donald Trump with an AI-generated video showing overweight Americans working in factories.
A viral 30-second clip shows a series of miserable-looking rotund Americans slowly sewing garments and building smartphones on crowded shop floors.
The video, which is set to Chinese music, is called “make America great again” and has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.

give them maga hats, made in china.
I swear to sweet little 9lb 5 ounce Baby Jesus…
I have zero idea why China hasn’t slapped a 1,000% tarrif on any MAGA goods or anything that supports American conservative movements.
China makes all that shit, it’s a no brainer
That would be an export tax, which companies would then pass along.
Tariffs are a gov taxing its own people for things they import, without the involvement of the foreign exporter or country at all.
But yeah.
it is basically fancy GST,VAT.
Tarrifs are on imports, no one in China is importing MAGA merch. Maybe you mean export tax?
because when the u.s. destroys its global reputation, the dollar’s stability, relations with every ally, and itself from within----the prc wins. big.
Unless China devolves into civil war they’ve already won. The future is theirs.
trump himself has put a tariff of like 130% on those hats already.truly dngaf.
That’s not how tariffs work.
The chinese MAGA hats are going from China to the U.S., not the other way around.
Edit: That, it turns out, is how tariffs work as well. TIL.

It never gets old having people with zero idea what Im talking about, confidently tell me they don’t know what I’m talking about…
Like, I fully understand that not everyone knows everything.
But why do you all assume that you personally know everything, so when you run into something you’re not familiar with, you just insist the other person is wrong?
Is public education the last couple decades just this cooked that kids don’t know how to Google anything?
You just say whatever is in your head in the moment, and if someone smarter takes the time you might learn something, but most of the time just downvote and stop replying?
It’s not just you, I’m fucking terrified for society. People acting like you is why trump is president and America sucks.
Fucking be better bro
I think it’s fair to say most people didn’t know shit about tarrifs until recently, then got told “no, tariffs are paid by the IMPORTER, not the exporting country”. The word “tariff” right now is assumed to mean “import tariff” as that’s how the word is commonly being used, so if you mean “export tariff” it may be a good idea to explicitly say it instead of getting upset when people don’t know what you mean.
Daddy, chill.
I stand corrected.
I thought tariffs were on imports only. Can there be export tariffs? Well, TIL.
And lol no. You can’t say that Trump is in power because of me. And so for assuming that much, I’ll say that this is why Trump won - because of pointless emotional reactions that cause division, like yours. So, let’s say we’re even.
Do consider that regardless of a tariff being export/import companies will generally pass the cost onto the consumer. So in general all tariffs are import tariffs by proxy.
