American streamer and internet sensation IShowSpeed, widely known for his high-energy antics, found himself in the middle of another unexpected viral moment—this time in China. While touring Chongqing, it wasn’t the scenic sights or culinary adventures that stole the show, but a jaw-dropping impersonation of former U.S. President Donald Trump by his local guide.
The viral moment unfolded as Speed interacted with a man who was initially showing him around and highlighting the city’s infrastructure. The twist came when the streamer noticed something off about his guide’s voice.
“Why do you talk like that? Why do you sound so familiar? You sound like Trump! What the F*ck!” Speed exclaimed in disbelief during the livestream.
What followed was an entertaining ride—literally—as the two hopped into a car and the impersonator went full Trump mode. “What the f*ck. You’re really the Chinese Trump bro,” Speed said, stunned by the performance.
The man behind the uncanny impersonation is Chen Rui, a Chongqing local who goes by @trumpbyryan online and uses the English name Ryan. Known for nailing Trump’s vocal cadence and hand gestures, Chen has previously gone viral for his hilarious takes on the former U.S. president. In one popular clip, he tours Guanyinqiao while saying, “Folks, you’re in Chongqing CHAI-na,” adding, “Look at the size of the traffic. So many people, so many cars, bumper to bumper, barely moving. Some say it’s bad. You know what I say, I say it’s incredible.”

Social media exploded with reactions to the encounter. “Chinese Trump for the win,” one user commented. Another joked, “Looks like if Kim Jong Un and Trump had a baby.” A particularly viral comment read, “IShowSpeed has successfully replaced Henry Kissinger as the top US diplomat to China.”
Adding to the entertainment, Speed also reunited with actor and martial artist Zhenwei Wang—famous for his role as Cheng in the 2010 film The Karate Kid. Together, they recreated the iconic basketball scene from the movie, stirring up waves of nostalgia among fans.
With every unpredictable turn of his China tour, IShowSpeed continues to prove why he’s one of the most watched personalities on the internet.
