Twitter Users Think This Photo Of Jared And Ivanka Is Straight Out Of 'The Shining'
President Donald Trump’s official state visit to the U.K. kicked off on Monday as Queen Elizabeth II greeted him at Buckingham Palace while his eldest daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Jared Kushner, watched from a palace window.
All seemed sufficiently run-of-the-mill until a photograph of Jared and Ivanka gazing out from a Buckingham Palace window began circulating on Twitter. The resulting photograph was cinematic, to say the least, with Twitter users comparing it to scenes from horror films and their nightmares.
Several users saw resemblances between the photograph and “The Shining,” referring to Ivanka and Jared as rebooted versions of the infamous twins.
I didn’t know they were remaking The Shining! Terrifying! #IvankaTrump #Trump pic.twitter.com/6UOV2Egwl4

Others compared the photographs to scenes from their nightmares and different horror films, including “The Omen,” “Flowers in the Attic,” “The Others” and a forthcoming Jordan Peele project.
Oh. I thought it was Jordan Peele. https://t.co/KUtDjp3L0k

It’s difficult to imagine what message Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are trying to convey. Is it plea for help? A warning? https://t.co/JFxIYK6w1Q

They’ll learn. Once I’m king.— Titus Mamet (@titusmamet) June 3, 2019
This is like those VC Andrews novels with the cutout covers and when you open it up there's a bunch of emaciated children in Victorian outfits surrounding Jared and Ivanka and one old woman who is obviously a vampire. https://t.co/8JVxvdKpY4

Thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets Tuesday to demonstrate against Trump. London Mayor Sadiq Khan granted protesters permission to fly the infamous Trump baby blimp during the protest, which portrays the president as an ill-tempered infant.
