Donald Trump photo with mysterious ‘unknown figures’ goes viral, sparks conspiracy theories

A picture of the US President meeting and chatting with three mysterious and human-like figures is going viral on social media platforms, leaving netizens perplexed.

The viral image shows Trump standing with these individuals and discussing something important with them. The figures appeared tall, platinum blonde and wore red uniforms similar to the British redcoat uniform.

Soon after the image was posted on social media, it took the internet by storm, leaving the netizens with so many questions and conspiracy theories.

One of the users posted the image, captioning, "A leaked photo of President Trump meeting with unknown figures is going viral as people try to figure out who they are."

Another user wrote, "Does anyone have any more information on these lizard people that Donald Trump was meeting with at the White House today?"

Some users speculated that these figures don't appear like humans, coming from the extraterrestrial origin due to their outward appearances.

One user commented, “US intel & whistleblowers have claimed US have recovered 4 diff types of alien bodies from crashed ufo's, one of which are these human looking Nordic's.”

In a separate viral image, these figures also appeared with Chinese President Xi Jinping, thereby further fueling the online frenzy among the users.

Some users took the image as humor and turned it into viral memes. According to some, these figures either looked like Targaryens from Game of Thrones or like Twilight vampires.

One commented humorously, “Trump sealing the deal with the Volturi in their red robes? Even the Twilight vampires know he's the ultimate dealmaker! Who's sparkling next?”

Peter Girnus wrote on X, “The official line is that they were a Norwegian trade delegation. Technically accurate, because they are Nordic, and there was trade. But they are also seven feet tall, telepathic, and arrived on the South Lawn without a vehicle.”

What’s the truth behind the viral photo?

There is no official confirmation from the White House regarding the veracity of the viral image circulating online.

Some called it an AI-generated image as in the age of artificial intelligence it is not difficult to create such weird and mysterious-looking photos.

According to a social media user, the figures are members of the King's Guard of Norway. The user has further claimed that the photo was published by many news outlets on May 15, 2018, during a visit by Norway's King Harald V and Queen Sonja to the White House.

When asked by Grok, the chatbot also called it “AI-generated hoax clip.”
