Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

United by their disdain for the Trump administration, Chinese internet users of different political views are using A.I. to make images, videos and music to mock the American leaders for what the Chinese believe are ridiculous and outrageous policies and remarks.
For China’s Trolls, ‘Chairman Trump’ and ‘Eyeliner Man’ Are Easy Targets
Online mockery of President Trump is fodder for the Communist Party’s propagandists. For liberal-minded Chinese, it is a creative expression of shock at his policies.
