LIMELIGHT: IMPERSONATOR CHEN BECOMES SOCIAL MEDIA HIT >>> US president is goldmine of funny material for comic.
-
utstretching his hands in a signature Donald Trump pose, impersonator Ryan Chen mimics the US president's voice and gestures with such accuracy that he has become a social media phenomenon with his funny videos.
The 42 year old from southwest China does not engage in political satire, a minefield in the country that can lead to account suspension, but has amassed millions of followers on Instagram, TikTok and Chinese platforms.
“Trump is an endless well that never runs dry, because he draws more online traffic than anyone else on the planet,” Chen told AFP in his hometown of Chongqing.
During his videos, which are in English with Chinese subtitles, Chen lightheartedly presents Chinese cuisine, customs, cultural differences, jokes with foreigners and dances to Village People’s YMCA, one of Trump’s trademark stage songs.
And all his clips are peppered with Trump’s unmistakable mannerisms and buzzwords like “tremendous” and “amazing”.
