The Republican Party published a photo of Trump against the background of a Lada

The official account of the Republican Party of the USA was published on August 1 on the social network X (ex. Twitter) a photo of the head of the White House, Donald Trump, against the background of a yellow VAZ-2101 car, known as the Zhiguli.

The picture shows the American leader with his arms raised, wearing a red cap. Behind him stands a yellow VAZ-2101, above them is the slogan: "Let's make the automotive industry great again."

The caption to the post claims that "one big, beautiful bill will help bring back the great American car." Subscribers were surprised by the appearance of the "American Lada". They came to the conclusion that this was again the result of neural networks, and the Republican press service was probably completely lazy and also fell victim to the trap of artificial intelligence.

How Trump is softening his own harsh measures against imported goods

On April 2, Trump signed a decree imposing duties of 25% on imports of passenger cars, light trucks and auto parts. These measures began to take effect on April 3 for finished cars, and for auto parts — no later than May 3. The American leader justified the imposition of duties by the need to protect "national security."
