Nothing goes unnoticed by Internet users, let alone one of the biggest global trade wars in history . Since it was announced and went into effect on April 2, US President Donald Trump’s tax on products from China has become a meme . With the increase in the tariff , the online jokes have increased and the Republican has been accused of favoring the rival country.
“Meanwhile in China…” is the caption of a cartoon in which a woman with Asian features asks her daughter to finish eating because “there are people starving in America.” In another image, created using artificial intelligence, the US president and his vice president, JD Vance, are seen working in a factory that produces the traditional red caps worn by Trump and his supporters.
Among the Chinese, Trump has been known as “Chuan Jianguo” since his previous term in office. The term refers to the Chinese nation builder, which is an ironic way of saying that the US president is favoring China’s growth with his political and economic actions.
