...that's not a comfortable smile...

Not saying Trump doesn't know these clowns, just that this photo looks suspect to me.

no deep fake there.

There are several photos at different events that have been released showing them with Trump and also Trump Jr. Both CNN and MSNBC and other sources have been showing the pictures. I read that Rudy and Pence were wearing yarmulkes at the event pictured in OP.

It is claimed that the "event" at which Rudy is shown wearing a yarmulke is the Young Israel dinner from last March at which Parnas and Fruman were among the honorees. A couple of problems with that claim. Neither Trump nor Pence attended that event (if they had, their presence would have been noted in articles about the event as well as touted by the host of the event). Also, photos taken of the event show that it was a black tie affair.

I've searched various sites and cannot find this picture having been posted anywhere before today.


But I'd be happy to take a look at the "multiple sources" confirming this particular photo.

not.

He denied knowing them saying his picture gets taken with lots of people at fundraisers. But Trump Jr. seemed quite chummy with them in another picture just shown on CNN or MSNBC.
