A little bit of a blast from my past. There was a time when the Chinese admired Donald Trump (to the point that a car company named themselves after him!¹). Then he went more openly insane to the point that even through cultural lenses it was obvious, started spouting a whole bunch of anti-China rhetoric, and generally lost all favour here.
That's when all kinds of interesting things showed up. Trump toilet paper, for example.²
And, given his very public love affair with the lunatic in Pyongyang, these figures who I call "Cashman and Rocket Lad". Which I naturally bought. (They still feature prominently on my desk's shelf at home.)
