First Lady Jill Biden and President-elect Trump surprised observers in December when they appeared loved up at the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris — and now the former first lady has revealed what the pair discussed in that viral moment.
French first lady Brigitte Macron was seated between Biden and Trump during the ceremony, but when she stood up and the two left, they were caught smiling and chatting. Biden revealed in an interview with The Washington Post that she poked fun at him and her husband.
“I had a good meeting with your husband in the Oval Office,” Trump said, according to Jill. Trump met with President Biden at the White House following his landslide victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 general election, and the two men were photographed smiling and laughing together.
“Yes,” replied Jill Trump, “because you two are talkers.”
The next day, Trump posted a photo on social media of his interaction with the first lady in an ad for his $199 line of perfume and cologne with a tagline that read: “A scent your enemies can’t resist.” .
Post reporter Kara Voght asked Biden why she even spoke to the man who didn’t give her husband the same courtesy of inviting him to the White House when Biden beat him in the 2020 election. And what about her husband that Trump previously called an “existential threat” to democracy?
“Joe and I respect our institutions, our traditions,” replied Jill. “And it’s very important to me that they continue and we—what would be the point of disgust?”
A fire broke out at Notre Dame Cathedral on April 15, 2019. Horrified onlookers watched as the fire engulfed the church’s iconic spire and most of the roof. But firefighters managed to save the main structure of the cathedral, including the chancel and windows.
The emotional reopening ceremony last month featured remarks from French President Emmanuel Macron after the cathedral’s bells tolled.
“I stand before you to express the gratitude of the French nation, our gratitude to all those who saved, helped and rebuilt the cathedral,” Macron said.
“Tonight we can share joy and pride together,” he said later. “Long live Notre-Dame de Paris, long live the Republic and long live France”.
Trump again found himself as one half of another odd couple when he was seen laughing with former President Barack Obama at the funeral of the late Jimmy Carter last week.
Lip readers and other political observers have been trying to find out what the pair talked about as they sat next to each other on the benches.
The president-elect poked fun at all the hype by posting a humorous spoof of his conversation with Obama on his Truth Social and X accounts.
The video shows Trump and Obama mocking Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign with what appears to be AI-generated dialogue imitating the couple’s voices, with Trump also taking a swing at his 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, who was also in attendance.
