Ryan Chen, a Chinese impersonator of Donald Trump, has gained over 4.5 million followers across platforms and is visiting the US for the first time, boosting his career.

  • In a video Chen announced he had obtained a visa and is currently visiting the United States for the first time, mimicking Donald Trump’s voice and gestures as a social media phenomenon.
  • A friend's online dare triggered Ryan Chen's viral breakout after only moderate early success, while he learned English from American TV and created videos in English with Chinese subtitles.
  • Chen's cross-platform audience expanded after a high-profile livestream appearance; he has more than 2.5 million followers on Chinese platforms and boosted visibility on IShowSpeed's channel over 47 million subscribers.
  • Chen now makes a living from promotions, events and corporate parties and is hired for advertising campaigns, positioning himself as a cultural bridge for international viewers.
  • Framing himself as apolitical, Ryan Chen avoids political satire to prevent suspension and urged U.S. president Donald Trump to visit Chongqing and try local hotpot.
