Incumbent President Biden, President-elect Trump, and First Lady Jill Biden were all smiles when posing for a photo at the White House on Wednesday. However, Melania Trump's notable attention caught the internet's eye, sparking reactions.
According to the New York Post, Melania Trump rejected Jill Biden's invitation to meet over tea at the White House, bucking a long-standing tradition. Her reason being: the raid on Mar-a-Lago, sanctioned by the Biden administration, a source claimed.
The post-election tradition is meant to represent the peaceful transition of power. Nonetheless, the internet was quick to weigh in with quippy remarks and memes. Here's what one user said, for example:
"Melania said nope…"
Several more online chimed in:
"We can tell all the smiles are forced," someone posited.
"I mean, why would she want to meet with someone who smeared her and her husband for 4 years if there's no need to?" another asked.
"Jill is fake as hell. Good for Mrs. Trump not pretending to play in their reindeer games. They raided her home and nearly killed her husband," another claimed.
"Melania isn't a big phony. She has more integrity in her little finger than Jill will ever have," another asserted.
More and more commented with their own theories and assumptions:
"The Bidens haven't looked this happy in years. Wow !" someone claimed.
"It seems Melania don't like Jill," one person theorized.
"That’s the happiest I’ve seen Joe Biden ever-" another joked.
"Melania decided to go shopping instead," one user jested.
