The controversy began after the December 7 re-opening ceremony of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, an iconic symbol of Gothic architecture that had been severely damaged by an explosion five years prior.

The cathedral was restored to its former glory with world leaders including Donald Trump and Jill Biden attending a mass at the event.

The meeting between the two public figures sparked considerable debate online, with social media users sharing various opinions, particularly about Biden’s gestures of support for Trump.

A photograph from this event, captured by Pascal Le Segretain for Getty Images quickly went viral, inspiring a wave of memes across different platforms.

US President Trump himself shared this photo on his Truth Social account, along with the caption “Enemies can’t resist,” which was later revealed to be part of a promotional campaign for a new fragrance from his company.

International media outlets reported on the viral moment, with coverage from sources such as CBS News and The Economic Times.

Amidst the viral spread of this photo, a fake video surfaced, showing an alleged altercation between Jill Biden and Donald Trump.

This video was generated using an AI tool named “Grok,” available on X, which transforms still images into video content. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed that the video was clearly manipulated—Jill Biden’s face and hair exhibited unnatural movements, disproving the video’s authenticity.

Accordingly, FactSeeker confirms that the video is a fabricated created using the Grok AI tool.
