He humoured his followers as he shared a Trump-style suit and tie and sported the divisive Republican leader’s bronzed look.
In the snap, Eammon swept his grey hair to the side in a Trump-like comb over as he posed in front of a large window resembling the one Trump will be reunited with when he returns to the Oval Office.

And it has now been revealed that Eamonn and his new girlfriend first messaged each other 12 years ago.
The pair first exchanged flirty messages on social media in 2012 according The Sun.
The TV host and and relationship therapist were both married at the time and the messages initially included her then husband George.
Back in 2012, Katie’s former partner joked that he believed his wife was ‘flirting’ with Eamonn, but with both men sharing a love for Manchester United, quipped: ‘Good job we’re both Red.’
Reports then emerged she’d been left ‘devastated’ when she discovered ‘messages from another woman’ on his laptop.
A source has now told the The Sun: ‘We knew Eamonn and Katie got together via social media, but no one knew how far back they went.
‘Ruth will be shocked they were in contact 12 years ago. I don’t think she would have known.’
‘Eamonn gets a buzz out of replying to messages from fans. He and Katie had a real connection, and it blossomed into something more.’

It comes after Ruth spoke candidly about heartbreak amid her divorce with Woman & Home in which she revealed heartbreak was her biggest fear, but not for her, instead fearing her son Jack, 22, would have his heart broken.
When asked what she ‘wants most in life’, Ruth confessed: ‘Happiness. Happiness for my son, Jack.
‘When you have children, you look at them starting out in life and just want everything to be good for them, for them to be happy and to not have their hearts broken. You can’t guarantee any of that, but that’s what I want most for Jack.’
Ruth shares Jack with Eamonn and she is also stepmother to his children Declan, 35, Rebecca, 32, and Niall, 30, from his first marriage to ex-wife Gabrielle.
