SOCIAL media sleuths say they have spotted a time traveller after Donald Trump shared an image of him jabbing Vladimir Putin in the chest.
The image, taken during their crunch peace summit in Alaska last Friday, is almost identical to another historic picture of Richard Nixon doing the same action to Soviet PM Nikita Khrushchev in 1959.
Both photos are in black and white and feature the US President demonstrating their authority over their political counterparts.
Trump posted both pictures to his Truth Social account on Thursday appearing to try and show his admiration for fellow Republican Nixon.
But eagle-eyed viewers were quick to notice another striking similarity outside of the finger-wagging poses and feuding figureheads.
In both images, a third man can be seen listening in to the conversations.
In the modern day picture of Trump, a man is leaning over in between the US leader and Putin appearing to act as a translator.
He has dark curly hair, wrinkled forehead and a notepad as he wears a sleek black suit and tie.
A whole 66 years earlier, a third man can again be seen standing in the middle of the two superpower.
As Nixon and Khrushchev argue in front of a typical American model kitchen a dark curly haired man with similar forehead lines intently watches on.
He is again dressed in a similar suit and tie and is believed to have been a translator.
After Trump posted the side-by-side images, dozens of people soon noticed the similarities.
On X Carole Tahan said: “A time traveller from the Nixon/Khroutchev encounter (1959) to the Trump/Putin Alaska summit (2025).
“The striking resemblance of the two interpreters!”
Another user agreed saying: “2025 upper panel – Trump vs Putin.
“1959 lower panel – Nixon vs Khruschev.
“Weird fun fact? Same interpreter in both, not aged a day!”
A body language expert even applauded the uncanny resemblance.
Judi James told The Mirror: “They even seem to have booked a double of the guy who stood between the leaders back then, to stand in the same spot with the same look of concern on his face, suggesting this is serious stuff.”
The picture similarities wasn’t the only talking point coming out of the summit in Alaska.
Trump had a B-2 stealth bomber fly over Putin’s head as they greeted each other for showdown talks over ending the war in Ukraine.
Meeting his Russian counterpart on the tarmac at a military base in Anchorage last night, the Americans lined up four £300million F-22 fighter jets on the ground for an historic handshake photo op.
The two presidents then had a moment alone in Mr Trump’s limo — nicknamed The Beast — ahead of closed-door talks about ending the war in Ukraine.
It was the first time in almost a decade that Putin had set foot on US soil.
He is an internationally-wanted war criminal for his bloody three-and-a-half year Ukraine invasion.
Trump declared the talks were positive and showed that despite the relentless bombing of civilians in Ukraine he appears ready to accept a peace deal.
The US President then turned his attention to Ukraine as he invited Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House for additional talks on Monday.
The Ukrainian was flagged by a huge team of European leaders who made the trip alongside him as they all spoke in the East Room before heading to the Oval Office later in the day.
Trump again said the talks were positive as he tried to push for a end to the conflict.
In the days since, little progress has been made.
Putin and his Kremlin stooges have refused to commit to a trilateral meeting centered around dividing up territory as his battlefield assaults have only intensified.
