The Chinese man transformed into Donald Trump, paying attention to his clothes, hair, voice, and facial expressions. He tried to sell people an LED light with their custom-made logo straight from China.
His silly performance made Mzansi fall in love with him and likened his personality to theirs. South African people accepted the goofy gent and praised him in the comments section of his video.
The video on the TikTok account @lcsign_lightbox was posted on 18 March and currently has 5 million views and 536,000 likes.
It appears the guy works for a manufacturing company that produces LED logos and signs, and he used trending news to promote their products.
"The combination of acrylic and metal makes your logo look more luxurious. Our LED signs have CE and UL certification, and we offer a three-year warranty. We will deliver it straight to your house, no matter where you live, price dependant on where you live."
His TikTok page, with 1.5 million followers, showcases the amazing signs and cool custom designs they create in the factory.
Many Chinese people exposed the American luxury market over the weekend by sharing the real suppliers of some of the world’s most luxurious products. People were stunned by the ridiculously low prices and swore to never support the pricey brands again.
People from China also shared that they do not care if they lose America as a trading partner, with their 15% contribution to the Chinese economy. More secrets are being revealed on TikTok and other social media platforms by the Chinese, and South Africans are excited to be on the right side of the ‘war’.
