In a surprising turn of events, President-elect Donald Trump utilized a snapshot from the recent Notre-Dame Cathedral reopening ceremony in Paris to promote his latest fragrance line.
The photograph, which captured First Lady Jill Biden glancing in his direction, became a sensation on social media platforms over the weekend.
As reported by Mediaite, the ceremony was a star-studded affair, with dignitaries and celebrities in attendance. The seating arrangement placed Trump and the First Lady in close proximity, with only France's First Lady, Brigitte Macron, separating them. The sight of the two American figures seated so closely sparked a flurry of online discussions.
The image that particularly ignited the conservative side of social media was a screenshot from the live broadcast, capturing Biden's smile as Trump spoke. This led to playful speculation among social media users, with some jesting that Biden's smile indicated she must have "voted for him."
Capitalizing on the viral image, Trump took to his Truth Social app on Sunday to market his new fragrance line, "Fight, Fight, Fight." The promotional image featured the tagline "A FRAGRANCE YOUR ENEMIES CAN'T RESIST" superimposed on the photograph.
In his post, Trump wrote, "Here are my new Trump Perfumes & Colognes! I call them Fight, Fight, Fight, because they represent us WINNING. Great Christmas gifts for the family."
As of the time of the original report, the First Lady had not responded to the unexpected use of her image in Trump's fragrance promotion. This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable and often controversial nature of political discourse in the digital age, where images and moments can be repurposed in unexpected ways.
