Etymology
The name of Trump, 川普 (Chuānpǔ), remoulded into a sarcastic pseudo-Chinese name.
It originated from his campaign slogan "make America great again" and a humorous opinion amongst netizens that Trump is in fact an undercover agent for China to destroy the United States, as his various actions (and inactions) as the US president actually tarnish the image of the US more so than embellish it, and are thereby "making China great".
建國／建国 (jiànguó, “to build/found the nation”) is a given name with patriotic undertones, commonly given to someone born around the Founding of the People's Republic of China (1949), such as Trump.
