During his livestream from Chongqing, China, on April 2, 2025, Darren "IShowSpeed" met up with a local social media star known as Chinese Trump (real name Chen Ryan), who is famous for impersonating the US President. The YouTube star was left stunned after hearing him speak in Trump's cadence while they were sitting in the car during the broadcast. Clips of his reaction quickly went viral on social media.

The Chinese social media personality welcomed IShowSpeed to Chongqing upon meeting the content creator for the first time. He mimicked Trump and said:

"It's my absolute pleasure to have you come to Chongqing because Chongqing is an international city. You know, we are going to have fun here. I don't, I don't because my English is not that good actually, but you know, I am just stating the facts about Chongqing because I was born and raised in Chongqing. I love this city, so if you need any help, any introduction, it's my pleasure to show you around the city."

IShowSpeed was shocked by the impersonation and praised him:

"What the f**k! You're really the Chinese Trump, bro."
