Historian here that is the Soviet Lada in this tweet! The big ugly GOP bill is really taking America backwards and making America bankrupt!

Watch the GOP quislings line up for Sunday shows to say how great Soviet economics was in the 80s and 90s now

Good Lord, the GOP outsourcing its propaganda
-

They know perfectly well it’s a Lada. It’s trollery, but also a boast and a threat: we’re like the Russian regime, unaccountable to the public; we’ve won.
-
AI imagery at its finest
-
Maybe it’s a desperate cry for help and the GOP is trying to signal the trajectory of doom that trump is putting us on? Yeah, probably not. Just dickish trolling.
-
Where did this come from? I don’t see it on X but I’m also limited in what I can see because I don’t have an account. Also , the date is cut off.

"Any publicity is good publicity" "Any distraction is good distraction" Etc.
-
They must be hiring dimwits from Turning Point USA for social media...
-
Ok, but let's be real...Lada at least built cars. Most US manufacturers only make trucks. And the few remaining US new cars are unreliable in extreme conditions.
A Lada and a modem ford in a race would be a tossup
-
In case you thought Russia, Russia, Russia only owned the orange rapist. They own the GOP.
-
They keep using 14 words. I've been counting the last few days, every time, 14 words.
-
Autovaz is still making Ladas in Tolyatti—the Detroit of Russia.
-
They should have used a Trabant.

A man walks into a wrecking yard, and says Can i get a hubcap for a Lada?"
The owner thinks a moment, then says, "Humm, a Hubcap for a Lada," then he nods. "Thats a fair trade!"

They're doing this on purpose.
They're pissing on all of us just to see how many of his numskull supporters will call it rain.
-
It even has a little rust on the rear wheel well.
-
Hi Manisha. Car expert here. And I can do you ten better. That is a Soviet (as in USSR) built Lada VAZ-2101. Not only is it that specific model, I also found THE SPECIFIC CAR. Note the aftermarket wheels and discoloration on the C-pillar.

Aftermarket nightmare rims with a second set of holes, the paint on the hood is flaking off, the C-pillar has a weird "Airbag" sticker outline, there's rust around the rear wheel well. All of this is badly shopped onto a single color "road surface", with Trump casting weird shadows with his elbows.

It looks like something Inspector Clouseau would drive in those old 70s & 80s Pink Panther movies!
-
My sister bought a Soviet Lada in the 1970s for about $2,500 𝘯𝘦𝘸! To be legal is Canada, it needed new bumpers. One of the Lada's features was a crank start (a matter of life and death in the USSR) so they drilled a hole in the front bumper for the crank. The crank's shaft was now too short to work!
-
Sure looks like a FIAT 125, which I believe the Lada was based on.
-
Irony is fucking dead.
-
I WAS joking when I made Krime Motors for Shadowrun using the finest of the worst cars in history.
I had also included the Reliant Robin and Bricklin, too.
Maybe put photoshops of those in the picture, too!
-
There was Russian military hardware in a previous one too. One might almost think there could be some Russian influence at work in Trumpland.
-
Why is this not surprising?
-
-
-
At this point, i think its some old school business gop silently hitting the alarm.
-
Hey I used to drive a Lada over in Europe!
-
If there is one Preshdent who could bring the Lada to the American Market, it would definitely be Trump.
-
I have long thought that - although I believe we tried to treat Russia positively in the 90s - Russia’s revenge for their Cold War loss would be working to reduce the US to their level. Were almost there!
-
You'd think the Russians would be clever enough to at least put an American car in their meme...
-
So a Russian or Russian-adjacent somebody sent this & the gop ran with it
-
Put it in “H”!
-
I will assume that they fully intended the trolling.
-
I think I know where is it coming from... youtu.be/WUapG9Ma3uw?...
-
Minor point: Lada's are basically old Italian Fiat 125s built under licence, but of poorer quality. Much of the Soviet car industry (and a lot of other consumer industries) were based around copies of old/obsolete Western products because authoritarian regimes kill creativity.
-
My first thought was that the GOP is full of full on idiots, but my second thought is to wonder if somebody in charge of the GOP Twitter account is trolling Krasnov, because he IS in fact Krasnov?
-
Yep. That’s a lada
-
I cracked up at the analysis that the EU tariff "agreement" favored US cars. Ever tried to park a US car on streets built in the 1400s? It actually favors EU cars in Europe, and bankruptcy for those with the willingness to pay 15% more for each car part.

I thought I recognized it! Ladas were sold in Canada in the 1970s and 1980s so I used to see them driving around Winnipeg. I quite liked them-I’ve always had a thing for those boxy-style cars. But apparently they were duds for driving and repairs.
-
Trump so excited that he's holding pulling two stickshifts up toward his mouth
-
Drove a Lada for 2000km. An absolute bucket of junk with a body that I’m certain was industrial cardboard.
-
My grandad had one. Red one. Back when the gdp per capita of Czechoslovakia where we lived was $3100. That's where we're heading apparently.
-
Great. Looking forward to more Ford Pintos, Chevy Vegas, American Motors Gremlins.
-
The Russians who make his memes are just mocking him and his ignorant staffers. It happens so often you'd think they'd.... oh nevermind 🙄
-
All that Russian money over the years means they have to use their memes too
-
I thought it was a FIAT 124🇮🇹 However, certainly not an American car.
-
Even the graphic of Trump they selected doesn't believe their message.
-
Duh!
-
From the car's Wikipedia page: "In 2001, the 2107 version of the [Lada] Riva scored 0 points out of 16 in a frontal crash test conducted by the modern Russian ARCAP safety assessment program, and was awarded zero stars out of four."
-
A Lada, unlike Trump is actually relaible.

Making Assholes Gormless Again.

What a bizarre thing to tweet
-
The U.S. already is bankrupt. That’s why tariffs came in.

Are they trolling themselves or are the Russians doing it for them?

Oh dang!
