The White House on Thursday released photos of now-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during the former CIA director's clandestine trip to the country over Easter weekend — and Twitter can't handle how weird the whole scene is.

AFP's Jérôme Cartillier pointed out that Trump teased the existence of the "incredible" photos of the pair.

"I wouldn't have guessed I would see photos like this in my life time," investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson tweeted of the rare meeting between representatives of erstwhile enemy states.
