People spot disturbing detail in new photo of Donald Trump at White House

People have rushed to social media to share their thoughts after spotting a 'creepy' detail in a new photo of Donald Trump at White House.

A recent photo of the 78-year-old Republican at the White House is making the rounds on social media due to a hard-to-see detail in the background of the shot.

The image in question shows Trump smiling stood in front of five portraits of former presidents holding a model plane.

However, if you zoom in to the left-hand side of the photo, just behind Trump's right shoulder, an ornate gold-framed mirror can be seen with none other than Elon Musk in the reflection.

After clocking Musk in the background of the picture, one hawk-eyed X user declared: "This is easily one of the funniest pictures I've ever seen."

"Creepy AF!!!" hit out a second, while a third echoed: "That is so creepy."

A fourth branded Musk the 'worst babysitter ever', while another claimed: "This is the most transparent puppet master ever."

"And the puppet watches over his toys," added a final X user.

Last week (18 February), Trump and Musk put on a united front as they sat down with Fox News' Sean Hannity at the White House.

The interview aired following speculation of tensions between Trump and Musk over criticism of the latter's reported prominent role in Trump’s administration and suggestions that he was usurping the president’s power, earning the moniker 'President Musk'.

Such criticisms have been fuelled by Trump’s known dislike of sharing the limelight.

Despite these theories, the interview saw the pair go to pretty great lengths to shower praise on one another with Musk gushing: "I love the president, I just want to be clear about that."

"I think President Trump is a good man," he carried on. "The president has been so unfairly attacked in the media, it’s really outrageous."

The 53-year-old Tesla boss continued: "And at this point, I’ve spent a lot of time with the president, and not once have I seen him do something that was mean or cruel or wrong, not once."

Elsewhere in the interview, Trump also returned the favour of complimenting Musk, describing him as 'caring' and 'amazing' before saying: "This guy’s a brilliant guy. He’s a great guy. He’s got tremendous and scientific imagination.

"But he’s also a good person. He’s a very good person, and he wants to see the country do well."
