A photo of Donald Trump got a helluva reaction when it was posted to social media on Thursday.
The image, taken by photojournalist Jim Watson, shows the president sitting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth discussing the proposed Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.
Watson’s camera seemed to be positioned so that a golden bald eagle behind Trump appeared more like devil horns emanating from the president’s skull.

Considering how polarizing Trump’s presidency has been, it’s no surprise that the photo went viral on social media.
It’s also no surprise that many people responded to the picture as a joking confirmation of what they already suspected about the president.

And, of course, one person had to reference the current season of “South Park,” where Trump is depicted having a same sex relationship with Satan.
