Footage shared on social media Monday shows former President Donald Trump receiving a pretty polarizing truck as a gift. And that’s not all.

“I think it’s incredible,” Trump told streamer Adin Ross who gifted the former president a custom-wrapped Tesla Cybertruck. The wrap? The utterly iconic photograph of Trump surviving the assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania in July.

“So, you know what they did? What Google did is they took — or they let it happen — see the Secret Service agents [around me]?” Trump told Ross. “They’re angry in there. They put smiles on their faces. You heard about that?” Trump is referring to a photograph that circulated following the attack in which the Secret Service agent’s faces were edited, according to The Associated Press.

The two men talked a little about how scary it is for people to manipulate things, with Ross saying there needs to be a system where we “can quickly fact-check things.” Perhaps he’d enjoy Check Your Fact. I know I do.

Ross showed Trump the inside of the vehicle, including how to open it. As the proud driver of a 2007 stick shift sedan I got for free from my neighbor’s friend who just needed to get it off his lot, I will not be passing public comment on Cybertrucks. But what do you guys think of these things?

My friendship group is highly polarized. Some love the design, while others detest it. From what I can tell, Trump seems to really appreciate his.
