The photos he provided to propagandists show a pair of black socks with red socks. Each one has bright yellow strands attached to it, slightly tousled and lifted, creating a “swirl” or “float” effect, strongly reminiscent of Trump's signature style.
In addition, the word TRUMP is written vertically on the socks.
In addition to the socks, the Americans gave the Russians a personal token from Republican member of the US Congress Anna Paulina Luna, Delyagin said.
The Russians were invited to Washington by Luna herself, known for her anti-Ukrainian statements. As Deutsche Welle reported, a delegation of deputies of the Russian State Duma visited the United States for the first time in the last 12 years and held negotiations with members of Congress in Washington.
The main purpose of the visit is to restore interparliamentary contacts between Russia and the United States, which were interrupted more than 10 years ago. As a result of the negotiations, the parties agreed to resume the work of the bilateral parliamentary group.
Also discussed at the meeting were Russia's possible participation in the Olympic Games and the visit of American representatives to Moscow on May 9.
In addition to Delyagin, the Russian delegation included the first deputy head of the Committee on International Affairs Vyacheslav Nikonov, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov, deputies Svetlana Zhurova and Vladimir Isakov. The New York Times wrote that the State Department had to remove them from the sanctions list for the duration of the visit.
In return for the socks and badge, Chernyshov presented the American side with a postcard signed by the participants of the Soyuz-Apollo flight. According to Delyagin, this allegedly caused delight among the Americans.
