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.

Do you really think Trump won’t be shipping union organizers off to CECOT? “Next they came for the trade unionists,” after all.
Yes, I think he will (except the ones that fall over to threats, and give in to 47’s demands).
But that’s not the point. It’s possible to have a safe factory staffed by happy, well-paid workers. If it were actually true that manufacturing would return to the US as a result of the tariffs, that manufacturing shouldn’t be considered an inherently bad thing.
And the thing is, when magats talk about manufacturing, that’s what they’re envisioning.
That said, sewing is generally understood to be shit work in manufacturing
