IShowSpeed’s tour of China included a personal guided tour with the man known as the “Chinese Trump.”

As seen in clips circulating online, Speed met up with Chen Rui, whose spot-on impression of President Donald Trump has gone viral across multiple social media platforms.

The two met in Chen’s hometown of Chongqing, where he guided Speed through the city while adopting his Trump persona, complete with the president’s infamous “weave” hand gestures and other mannerisms.

“It's my absolute pleasure to have you come to Chongqing, because Chongqing is an international city. You know, we're gonna have fun here,” said Chen, leaving Speed’s mouth agape.

“Because my English is not that good actually, but, uh, you know, I'm just stating the facts that I know about Chongqing because I was born and raised in Chongqing. I love the city, so if you need any help, any introduction, you know, it's my pleasure to show you around the city, and that's what I can do,” he added.

“What the fuck? You are really the Chinese Trump, bro.” Speed said. 

According to the South China Morning Post, Chen, whose English name is Ryan works as a marketer by profession, has never been to the U.S. but perfected his Trump impression through years of practicing English. His content was first shared on Douyin and later skyrocketed in popularity after the U.S. TikTok ban.

It was rumored that Speed, who began his tour of China late last month, had his tour of the country sponsored by the Chinese government.

However, Slipz, a member of Speed’s team, debunked the rumor, saying, “He is in China at his own expense, and will likely take a net loss.”
