The friendly interaction between Donald Trump and Jill Biden at the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris has sent the internet into a frenzy.
Photos of the president-elect with the smiling first lady sparked a wave of backlash — saying Jill was gushing over Trump and secretly supporting him.
After seeing the loving images of the political duo online, internet personality Nick Sortor wrote on X: “Jill DEFINITELY voted for President Trump.”
Jill and her daughter Ashley sat next to Trump during Saturday’s ceremony, but what some thought would be an awkward setup turned into a telling moment.
The photos showed Jill grinning and having a casual conversation with Trump as they leaned close to each other.
One person commented, “Find someone who looks at you the way Jill Biden looks at President Trump.” Another said: ‘Jill and Ashley Biden look like they are absolutely in love with President Trump.’
“Just look at the admiration for Trump in Jill Biden’s eyes at the reopening of Notre Dame in Paris,” one user commented.

Some even went so far as to say that Jill – and her family – voted against her party on Election Day.
“She looks way too happy,” one person wrote. “I believe they definitely voted for Trump.”
“No doubt I totally voted for him,” one user claimed. And another agreed: ‘She definitely voted for him. I have no doubts about it.’
Someone claimed, “Jill hates Kamala. She and Joe couldn’t be happier that Trump won.”
Another echoed the same sentiment: “The Bidens voted for Trump because they knew what Kamala was not capable of.” Another said: ‘I have a strange feeling that the transition will be very smooth.’
Politics aside, people were quick to point out that Jill seemed to enjoy the conversation and Trump’s company in general. One X user said: ‘This is the happiest I’ve seen her in months.’
