World leaders are treating President-elect Donald Trump like he is already in charge. Townhall’s Guy Benson wrote on Townhall.com, “Is Trump already our de facto president?”

French President Macron invited Trump to Paris for the reopening of the iconic Notre Dame cathedral, after it was damaged in a fire in 2019. Trump met with a number of European leaders on the trip. Other world leaders have traveled to Mar-a-Lago in recent days to meet with Trump.

President Biden didn’t attend the event in Paris but sent his wife Dr. Jill and his daughter, Ashley Biden.

This photo was taken of Trump and First Lady Jill. The memes on X were hilarious.

Several people wrote, “Find someone that looks at you the way Jill Biden looks at Trump.” Others said the look proves that Jill voted for Trump instead of Kamala Harris.

Trump liked the photo so much he turned it into a promotion for his new cologne called, “Fight, Fight, Fight - A Fragrance Your Enemies Can’t Resist.”
