A picture of a 2.7m shark has gone viral — as it bears an uncanny resemblance to former president Donald Trump.

The rare shot shows the predator baring its teeth below the surface of crystal clear water with its mouth open – as if ready to take a bite out of someone above.

The terrifying image was captured by Tanner Mansell, 27, an underwater photographer and videographer from Jupiter, Florida during a dive off the coast of his home town on December 19.

Meanwhile another person thought there had been a face swap situation: “Tell me why I thought this was a Trump face swap.”

The passionate photographer is in shock over the response his photo has received from social media users – and especially the comparison to Trump.

He said: “When I first posted the photo, it completely blew up.

“I was surprised to see the number of comments it got regarding Trump. I didn’t see it at first but I can see what people are saying.

“I think it’s funny and unique. I have never heard of anybody comparing a shark to a human.”
