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.

I don’t really understand the need to bring industry in your own country, if another country does it cheaper.
The only reason I can think of is independence. Limiting others their power over you.
But purely economically? It’s a waste of resources.
Who will do these jobs anyways? For what income? What can they learn at these jobs? Why would they waste their own opportunity of living in a wealthy economy just to do a job that someone without education and far lower costs can do?
These jobs are temporarily, the next generation won’t do those. Then the factories move again to another poor country.
Which is a good thing. This is how we develop the whole world.
When the whole world is developed, there will be no need for such braindead jobs.
If you need tariffs to get those jobs at your location, you’re just being inefficient.
But that’s economically. Can’t trust other countries until we’re all more united. And the current era is not making that look promising.
