When Kim Kardashian West posed for a picture in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump she must have known what was to come next.
The official picture was all flags and phones in the Oval Office and excitedly shared by Trump on his go-to platform Twitter.
The two did discuss genuine issues – including the incarceration of Alice Marie Johnson, 63 – a woman serving a life sentence for non-violent drug offences and who is not eligible for parole.

I would like to thank President Trump for his time this afternoon. It is our hope that the President will grant clemency to Ms. Alice Marie Johnson who is serving a life sentence for a first-time, non-violent drug offense.

We are optimistic about Ms. Johnson’s future and hopeful that she —and so many like her—will get a second chance at life.

But the picture was an opportunity too good to miss for online creatives.
Where some saw the US president and a reality TV star others saw something entirely different and it wasn’t all down to Photoshop.
At least not in every case.

And for some, the sheer bizarreness of the scene could only be amplified.
Fixed @realDonaldTrump and @KimKardashian meeting. It was all a crazy made up scene in the #Shazam movie. pic.twitter.com/VrEg5k7JDI

The internet didn’t break this time but it was a picture truly of its age.

If you would’ve told me five years ago Donald Trump would be POTUS and Kim Kardashian would be in the Oval Office discussing prison reform with him I would have called you insane.
We truly live in the darkest timeline.
