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 photograph captured during their crucial peace summit in Alaska last Friday is strikingly similar to a historic image of Richard Nixon performing the same gesture with 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.

Zelensky didn’t really need the Europeans with him to meet Trump at the White House – they were a mere sideshow

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 commented to The Mirror: “It even seems like they’ve placed a double of the person who stood between the leaders back then in the same spot with a similar look of concern on his face, indicating that this is serious business.”

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 arranged four £300 million F-22 fighter jets on the ground for a historic handshake photo opportunity.

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 proclaimed that the discussions were positive and demonstrated that despite the continuous bombing of civilians in Ukraine, he seems prepared to accept a peace agreement.

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 accompanied by a significant team of European leaders who traveled along with him as they all spoke in the East Room before proceeding 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 allies have declined to commit to a trilateral meeting focused on dividing territory as his military attacks have only escalated.

Earlier today, Vlad’s wild new demands for peace were revealed.

The despot wants to starve Ukraine of Western boots on the ground, ban the country from ever joining Nato and cap the size of Kyiv’s army, Kremlin sources revealed.
