This moment is going viral.
It was a moment that caught the attention of conservatives across the nation: a rare display of bipartisanship in Paris. During the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, outgoing First Lady Jill Biden and President-elect Donald Trump shared an interaction that sparked speculation, conversation, and even some humor on social media.
The image of the two standing side by side, caught on camera while waiting for French First Lady Brigitte Macron to take her seat, ignited a frenzy online. For many in the MAGA movement, the exchange between Trump and Biden was a source of amusement and even admiration.
On Sunday, President Trump capitalized on the buzz surrounding the photo by promoting his own cologne line, “Fight, Fight, Fight.” In typical Trump fashion, the caption read, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist,” adding a humorous twist to an already viral moment.
Though the exact nature of their conversation remains unclear, social media was abuzz with speculation that Jill Biden may have warmed to the idea of President Trump in the years following his presidency. Some even theorized that the First Lady could have been a quiet supporter of Trump during the 2024 race, despite her past criticisms and her husband’s tough rhetoric against the former president.
One user jokingly remarked, “I just want to find someone who looks at me the way Jill Biden looks at Trump,” while others playfully suggested that Jill Biden might have voted for Trump. Conservative voices online were quick to point out how the photo contradicted the typical portrayal of Biden and Trump as bitter rivals, with one commenter saying, “See how how fast everybody is warming up to ‘fascist dictator’ Trump. Even First Lady Jill Biden can’t stop this world-class charmer.”
Beyond the humorous exchanges, this moment in Paris also raised questions about the political dynamics within the Biden family, with some speculating that Jill Biden’s apparent admiration for Trump could signal deeper divisions between the Bidens and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Trump’s visit to Paris was his first international trip after the 2024 election, and he made headlines with his meetings with French President Emmanuel Macron, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and even Prince William of the UK. His interactions with world leaders, along with the viral image of him and Jill Biden, only added to the growing intrigue surrounding his post-presidency.
While this moment in Paris may have started as a brief, unexpected encounter, it has since fueled conversation and speculation, reminding us once again that in politics, nothing is ever truly what it seems. And in the case of Trump, it’s clear that he knows how to capture the attention of both his supporters and his critics alike.
