Trump, the nation builder (川建国)
China has bestowed a fresh moniker on President Donald Trump in advance of his landmark visit. It's a nickname with the pejorative stab of "Crazy Nancy".
Trump's Chinese nickname "Chuan Jianguo" has been making waves across Chinese social media platforms. The phrase translates directly to "Trump the Nation Builder" which, in this case, alludes to "Make China Great Again". Trump is "building" or strengthening China through his confrontational foreign policy that has inadvertently strengthened Beijing's position relative to Washington on the world stage.
Trump doesn't speak Chinese. And that makes the slur more potent while the American bumpkin is in China.
