I'm out of touch with hexbearian stickers

Is paper tiger a reference to Trump or the US? I may not understand this haha

Yeah, Mao famously referred to America as a paper tiger.

In appearance it is very powerful but in reality it is nothing to be afraid of; it is a paper tiger. Outwardly a tiger, it is made of paper, unable to withstand the wind and the rain. I believe that it is nothing but a paper tiger
