trump is promoting Russian cars

[Crepitus]

Well no, as far as I know he's not, but this is another example among many of the gross incompetence of the GOP. They've got him posing in front of a Soviet era Lada with a caption about bringing back the American automobile.

Makes you think these posts are still coming out of Russian troll farms ready made for the GOP.

‘YOU IDIOTS!’ GOP Mocked for Posting ‘Make Automobiles Great Again’ Trump Photo — With Soviet-Era Car

At least it wasn't a Trabi.

Damn..does the President not have people who vet this sort of thing before release?

Embarrassing.

I guess Trump's like a duck..he don't give a ****~

Its a photoshop job and not a good one at that.

Highlights the pettiness of DeCrappy and Vile Beagle a couple of the not so bright Troll Bots.

But above all it shows how desperate they are for real news .
In their fake world ,no news is an excuse for FAKE NEWS

Nope...someone from the Daily Signal posted it to the official GOP account.

GOP Celebrates The Return Of The Great American Car With A Picture Of A Lada

It's not the bold vision of the future of American car-building we expected, but maybe it's the one we deserve.

autos.yahoo.com

When Jalopnik writer Collin Woodard dropped this tweet from the official GOP account into Slack, I had to double check and triple check to see if it was a joke, but nope — that really is a picture of President Trump, doing his favorite weird dance that looks like a baby who has just discovered his hands, in front of a Lada. And not even a relatively new Lada either, as it appears to be a VAZ-2101, one of the earliest models of the car produced in the 1970s and '80s. What the hell?

The meme style image bears the watermark of The Daily Signal, a serious conservative news website that clearly does not have an automotive or satirical section, but even so, this is not a retweet from a potentially smarmy site. It's a full blown post by the official GOP account, a tweet that proudly proclaims "The One Big Beautiful bill will drive the return of the great American car."

I'd rock a UAZ-452 4X4 van in a heartbeat.

 

[whitehall]

Is that the best the left can do while the democrat party is falling apart? What would they do without Soros Media Matters?

 

[Silent Warrior]

Its a photoshop job and not a good one at that.

TDSers will believe anything as long as it implies orange man bad. This after telling us Biden was sharp as a tack for 4 years. You can't make this stuff up.

 

[elektra]

More of the bits and pieces of the democrat war against america.

Democrats make a meme, a post, an ad, then attribute it to Trump.

More russian collusion, the democrat war against america, liberty, freedom.

An RT article published August 1, 2025 reports that the official GOP X account posted a photo of Donald Trump standing in front of a bright yellow Lada sedan…a Soviet-era vehicle…as part of a messaging push tied to the phrase “making automobiles great again.” RT notes it’s an unusual choice, given a Lada isn’t an American-made car”:

Embarrassing.

I saw that.

I didn't know if it was real or not, b/c when I saw the meme, I went first to try to fact check.

It either wasn't true, or they had already pulled the post.


Thanks for letting me know that was, indeed real.

Yes, it is embarrassing that you are so stupid and so thick you don't get the irony of it.

If we have to explain it........

Possibly not. Trump has a sense of humor. I think he might be showing us what dimocrap scum would have us make for The People as opposed to what we can make if dimocrap FILTH and their totally communist EPA can be brought to heel.

The EPA is the most disgusting, the most despicable, the most communist, most repressive organization inside the USA. Even the CPUSA is more reasonable than the EPA. The EPA is despicable. And corrupt. And filled with nothing but dimocrap SCUM that have seriously communist leanings.
