"Will There Be a 10% Tariff Discount?"... 'Trump Rock' Appears on Taiwan's Coast

Coastal Rock Formation in Ruifang, Taiwan
Online "Pilgrimage" Spurs a Photo Craze

A peculiar rock formation on a coastal area in Taiwan has become a sensation for its resemblance to the profile of U.S. President Donald Trump.

According to a Yonhap News Agency report on October 3, citing United Daily News Taiwan and Sing Tao Daily Hong Kong, a massive rock on the coastal road in Ruifang District, New Taipei City, northern Taiwan, is recently drawing attention because it looks remarkably similar to the side profile of President Donald Trump.

Depending on the viewing angle, the appearance of this rock evokes Trump’s signature hairstyle and prominent nose. The rock originally did not have a name, but users registered it on Google Maps as "Ruifang Trump Rock." Numerous such unusual stone formations, shaped by wind and wave erosion, are clustered along the Northeast Coast of northern Taiwan.

Furthermore, as people actually visited Trump Rock on so-called "pilgrimages" and posted their photos online, it has become a popular "photo spot" for proof shots. Internet users who saw the photos reacted with comments like "Make Ruifang Great Again," and "If the venue gets a 5-star rating, will there be a 10% tariff discount?" However, as posts related to the "Trump Rock" received hundreds of thousands of views and garnered public attention, it is reported that the location was subsequently removed from Google Maps.
