FLOWER POWER: Joe Biden stops to pick up dandelion for Jill, America says bye-bye to Melania swatting Trump's hand

'We went from Melania swatting the former guy’s hand away to Joe Biden picking a flower for his First Lady,' a user said

The photographs of President Joe Biden stopping on his way to pick up a wildflower for his wife Jill Biden surfaced on Thursday, April 29. As the President and the First Lady were heading to board Marine One to Georgia, Biden stopped on his way as he spotted a dandelion, bent down and plucked it, before presenting it to his wife. The couple then walked together towards the plane and Biden also guided Jill up the steps. Twitterati swooned over the president and the first lady sharing such a sweet, romantic moment amid their busy schedule.

However, it appears that social media users could not help but notice the stark contrast in the relationship between Joe and Jill Biden and their predecessors in the White House, Donald Trump and his third wife Melania Trump. The sweet gesture of love between Joe Biden and his wife was compared to the time when Melania swatted Donald Trump's hand away as he tried to hold hands with her. Users also counted that it was 100 days since Trump's return to Mar-a-Lago when Melania nonchalantly abandoned him in front of the cameras.

Throughout the four years of Trump's presidency, cameras have caught many an instance where Melania had ditched his romantic advances, or shared awkward moments with him. Meanwhile, Joe and Jill Biden's relationship is already being dubbed as relationship goals.

"I love to see a loving gesture as opposed to Melania swatting 45’s hand away, yes! Seeing a couple show true love and gentle ways to each other feels like home. They remind me of my favorite happy couples at church. I adore my real, regular First Family," a user tweeted.
