What does Fidel Castro, Vladimir Putin, Viktor Yanukovych, Leung Chun-ying and Donald Trump have in common? Not being national leaders, although Castro once led Cuba, Putin is the incumbent president of Russia, Yanukovych was former Ukraine president and Leung is the current Hong Kong chief executive.
Trump may join them if he wins the Republican Party nomination and triumphs over the likely Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton in November. The real thing common among the five men is that their faces have been used to wipe dirty butts because their faces are on toilet papers.
Being on disposable paper used to wipe the anus after defecating is an indicator of how unpopular, usually a national leader, has become. And for Trump, that is no toilet humor because most of his photos on news reports shows an anguished look like that of a constipated person, besides being disliked by a lot of Americans.
Ahead of the toilet paper, a Chinese company that has been making toilet seat covers is the Shenzhen Trump International which was established in 2002 and filed for an English trademark in 2004. The general manager said he heard of Trump’s name only in 2015.
The “Dump with Trump” toilet papers, produced by a number of factories in China, feature the various facial expressions of the presumptive Republican presidential candidate such as smiling, pointing and pouting, reported China Daily.
One of the manufacturers, Qingdao Wellpaper Industrial, said that sales of the Trump toilet paper has been going up since mid-February. It has received over 50 orders, mostly by U.S. buyers, for up to 5,000 rolls per order. There are over 70 Chinese manufacturers who sell the Trump toilet papers in Alibaba for up to $30.
In February 2015, Leung Chun-ying's face was placed on toilet paper because Hong Kong residents disliked him for being Beijing’s lap dog. The toilet paper with the face of the Hong Kong chief executive was considered the perfect Chinese Lunar New Year present in Hong Kong last year, reported IBT Australia.
