It seems the president-elect Donald Trump is sniffing out a new business venture, and it has a certain… aromatic appeal. At a recent event marking the grand reopening of the iconic Notre Dame Cathedral, cameras caught a delightful moment where first lady Jill Biden shared a smile with Trump. While onlookers marveled at the restored beauty of the historic cathedral, Trump discerned something that many others could only overlook: an opportunity to market his own line of colognes.
In true Trump fashion, he was quick to capitalize on the moment, posting the snapshot of the Bidens’ brief interaction on Truth Social, complete with an advertisement promoting his new fragrances. The catchy tagline, “A fragrance your enemies can’t resist,” certainly encapsulates his distinctive flair for turning even a casual interaction into a money-making venture. Who needs the approval of Washington insiders when you have cologne sales to fall back on?
Jill Biden, resplendent in her role as the administration’s diplomatic envoy to France, was part of the festivities acknowledging the monumental restoration efforts after the tragic fire in 2019. With a smile for the cameras (much to the amusement of conservative commentators), she found a fleeting moment of camaraderie with Trump, causing speculation about her true voting allegiance. Was she just being polite, or did that smile hint at a fracture in the Democratic lock-in on her support? The whispers suggest that after the Democrats sidelined her husband in favor of Kamala Harris, she might be feeling some buyer’s remorse.

French President Emmanuel Macron must have felt a mix of caution and excitement in inviting Trump to such a high-profile event. Having an unpredictable president-elect in attendance was probably a strategic move, hoping to kickstart European relations by demonstrating a willingness to engage with a figure who famously broke the mold of traditional politics. It’s refreshing to see foreign leaders acknowledge the appeal of a strong and direct approach to diplomacy—something that certainly resonates with many Americans.
Trump’s new perfume line, humorously named “Fight, Fight, Fight,” captures the spirit of his ongoing battle against the establishment. It encapsulates not just a product but an ideology championing American strength and resilience. As the holiday season approaches, he cleverly positions these fragrances as perfect gifts, letting supporters indulge in a bit of Trump-inspired style while staying true to their winning values. Why settle for ordinary gifts when one can delight friends and family with a scent that embodies the essence of “us WINNING”? Now that’s a holiday strategy that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
