The entire world has not been able to keep calm ever since American President Donald Trump announced the reciprocal tariffs on Liberation Day, April 2nd. From China to Europe, all countries have been levied with tariffs including some islands such as Heard Island and McDonald Islands which inhabit only penguins.
The internet has been having a field day, ridiculing Trump for applying high tariffs on various countries and islands and saying that the step will help improve the American economy. Recently, a post has gone viral on X with 1.1M views, 12K likes and 312 comments. The post contains the opening video of a fake anime called "Trump Tariff Man."
In the video, Trump can be seen adorning a Superman suit and gazing at the better world he has created after applying the tariffs. Alongside him are other world leaders such as Xi Jinping from China, Vladimir Putin from Russia, and Kim Jong Un from North Korea. All the leaders have their own characters with Putin having six-pack abs, a sword and a bear, Kim Jong Un having his own missiles and Jinping sitting on a throne and commanding the world.
Social media reaction
Though the language of the video is Japanese, people have been loving the plot of the fake anime with some even asking for subtitles. I need subtitles. How in the world did dire wolf so big already that ai is including into this anime” wrote an X user.
Others appreciated the AI animation and character creations. “To be fair they made Putin pretty badass too” wrote an X user. “They put Winnie the Pooh by Xi Jinping. 😂😂😂” wrote another.
Many expressed their love for Japan and the Japanese people even going as far as asking for the US to adopt Japan. “Can the US just adopt Japan? Seriously, of all the other countries of the world, Japan is awesome.” and I love the japanese lol"
Netizens also asked for the anime to be converted into a real one. "This anime doesn't exist, but it should" and "Looks promising"
