During Donald Trump’s inauguration, something unexpected caught the attention of social media users.
As the ceremony unfolded, both Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden were seen holding onto their purses, sparking a wave of amused reactions online.
People couldn’t help but laugh at the idea that both women were ready to make a quick exit.
The Inauguration Ceremony
On that Monday, President Trump was officially sworn in as the 47th President of the United States at the Capitol Rotunda, an event that saw 600 guests, including family, friends, and political figures.
Among those in attendance were former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden, alongside their respective wives.
A Peculiar Detail Caught on Camera
As the dignitaries entered the Capitol, something stood out: Hillary Clinton and Jill Biden were both carrying purses.
While this might not seem unusual at first, the way they held onto them was hard to miss.
Jill Biden, dressed in a custom purple Ralph Lauren ensemble, wore her purse on her shoulder, while Hillary Clinton carried hers in her hands.
The moment was captured both on TV and TikTok, where it quickly went viral.
Social Media Reactions
After the ceremony, social media users couldn’t resist poking fun at the scene.
Many joked that the two women seemed ready to make a fast exit once their official duties were done.
“She’s on her way out. There was no going back in!” one commenter quipped.
Another wrote, “So when it’s over – they’re outta there!”
It was clear the purses had become a symbol of their readiness to leave.
Some even took it a step further, imagining what might come next.
One TikTok user wrote, “Was waiting for her to take her keys out and hold them in her hand.”
Another added, “Jill’s ready. She’ll meet you at the car.”
A Missed Lunch and No Balls for the Clintons
Interestingly, neither Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush, nor Barack Obama attended Trump’s inaugural luncheon, nor were they seen at the inaugural balls that followed.
Their absence didn’t go unnoticed, as many social media users were quick to point out the missing presence of the former first families.
The Trumps’ Celebratory Night
Meanwhile, Donald and Melania Trump made the most of their night, hitting not one, but three inaugural balls in celebration.
Their first stop was the Commander in Chief Ball, followed by the Liberty Ball, where they danced onstage with the entire Trump family.
The night culminated at the Starlight Ball at Union Station.
Melania, wearing a stunning black-and-white gown by her longtime stylist Hervé Pierre, turned heads, just as she had at the 2017 inaugural ball.
The evening highlighted a glamorous start to Trump’s presidency, as the first couple made their rounds through the capital.
