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
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake
It would be highlighting a “mistake” not interrupting it.
China has everything to gain from a weakened America. These tariffs will hurt China short term. Long term it’s America that will be hurt the most.
Won’t hurt china short term too, Americans are stock piling products from china. Even SKorea, Samsung report records sales due to stock piling. The people hurt will be Americans who buy dirt cheap china product to rebrand and sell in US at astronomical prices. The tariff tax on Americans by Trump will eat into their profit. They may probably just raise prices.
We just bought a car because of this shit (South Korean, naturally)
Yes.
But slapping an insane tarrif on MAGA hats doesn’t change that.
It just hurts MAGA even more.
I really don’t understand, do you people think if the price of a MAGA hat 10x, they’ll stop buying it?
Do you think trump will start making it in America?
He’d jack the price up 10x more, keep that, and say China is attacking MAGA
they are probably already marked up more than 10x.
This only works if someone else can’t make the hats for less than 10x the price China can. These aren’t something special. Any har company in the world with red fabric and yellow thread can do it.
Same concept still applies.
No, it’s literally the opposite…
people keep using this ‘interrupting your enemy’ phrase incorrectly and it’s really tiresome.
it’s like, “hey, your enemy is destroying your country, do something!” and braindead meme junkies are like “well actually, don’t interrupt your enemy…” smh
ig it gives them permission to do nothing… it grants validation for passivity.
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.
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.
Tarrifs are on imports, no one in China is importing MAGA merch. Maybe you mean export tax?
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.
