Chinese Factory Produces Donald Trump Masks (Photo : Getty Images)
Some of the Donald Trump masks in the U.S. selling for $9.50 are actually made in China. The masks with the likeness of Trump – who would become the next U.S. president in four days – as the top products of Molezu, a factory in Shenzhen.
So far, the factory has sold more than 200,000 Trump masks, Time reported. Besides Trump’s mask, Molezu also manufactures bloodied arms and legs and rubber cadavers popular during Halloween.
Orange Spray Paint
The factory runs seven days a week, and some factory hands work up to 10 hours a day making the Trump masks and Molezu’s other products. Production begins with workers pouring liquid latex into molds of Trump’s inside-out face. Once the mask has taken shape, employees peel off the mask from the mold and placed on drying racks.
Once dry, the masks are spray-painted orange and then polished to trim the mask’s imperfections. For their work, the employees are paid $400 a month.
Trump’s colorful personality and outlandish hairstyle has made him a perfect mold to make masks, video games and a giant rooster displayed in a mall.
SNL Parody
But even in the U.S., where Americans would have to get used to seeing him in the Oval Office, Trump continues to be the subject of Saturday Night Live’s parody by actor Alec Baldwin of the incoming president’s first news conference on Wednesday.
The sketch mocked Trump on several issues such as the expected sparse attendees and performers at his inaugural, his unclear plan to divest from his businesses and Russia’s alleged compromising information on the 45th president of the U.S., the New York Times reported.
Baldwin, as Trump, even reenacted the refusal by the president-elect to take questions from Jim Acosta, White House correspondent of CNN whom Trump accused of spreading fake news.
With China, Trump could always accused the country of making his fake faces.
