Sorry, but every part of this photo screams real from the proportions of the bodies, the relative heights, the shadows cast, the harsh edge highlighting created by the flash bulb and the even scattering of dust on the lens across the whole canvass.

It would take weeks, maybe months, of painstaking work to fake this photo.

99.99% likely this photo is real and they both happened to be at a high society outing and ran into each other.

Now, let's talk body language.

Trump is reserved as usual. Melania is posing like a runway model and practically screaming "I'm the most beautiful woman in the room". This is making Maxwell so uncomfortable, that she's staring at Epstein for comfort and support with a nervous grin. Epstein is smirking like "Ha, I'm getting my picture taken with Trump!" and ignoring Maxwell completely.

These people don't know each other and aren't friends.
