TL;DR: Amid President Trump's newly announced trade tariffs, an AI-generated video depicting Americans working in factories has gone viral on Chinese social media. This video has also gained significant attention on Western social media platforms.

Amid President Trump's recently announced trade tariffs, an artificial intelligence-generated video of Americans working in factories has gone viral on Chinese social media. The video has now made its way to Western social media platforms, where it has garnered quite a lot of attention.

The video has been copied and reshared on various social media platforms and shows a satirical take on what American people look like working in factories. The video was titled "Make America Great Again," a clear nod to President Trump's campaign slogan. It depicts overweight people working in what appears to be sweatshops, making various items of clothing and smartphones. The AI-generated people in the video also look miserable.

The timing of the AI-generated video mocking Americans comes only days after President Trump announced heavy tariffs on China, along with numerous other countries. Trump's goal of the tariffs is to make better deals with its trade partners and ultimately bring manufacturing back to the United States. It appears China is attempting to show Americans what the future holds for them with this satirical AI generated video.

As for the tariffs, Trump has smacked the nation with a 104% import tax on all Chinese goods that will come into effect at midnight US time.

"Any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set," Mr Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social on Monday, US time
