Just yesterday, Joe Biden welcomed President-elect Donald Trump back to the White House to kick off the transition between the current and the future administrations.

There were kind words uttered on both sides.

“Well Mr. President-elect and former president, Donald, congratulations, and looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition. Welcome, welcome back,” said Biden.

“Thank you very much, and politics is tough, and it’s, many cases, not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much a transition that’s so smooth, it’ll be as smooth as it can get,” Trump responded.

White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that the meeting was “very cordial, very gracious, and substantive” and that Biden and Trump “discussed important national security and domestic policy issues facing the nation and the world.”

Few doubted that the meeting was cordial, because Biden seemed unable to restrain his beaming smile when the press covered their interaction.

This meeting resulted in some hilarity on social media.

Some pointed out the striking difference between the Trump-Obama and Trump-Biden meetings.

Some pointed to the mendacity of the Democrats comparing the claims made about Trump during the campaign and how he conducted himself during the in-person meeting.

Is this the type of photo you take with a man whom you believe is a fascist?

A threat to democracy?

Hitler and Mussolini were fascists—would you be okay with someone taking a picture like this with either of them?

Joe Biden welcomes Hitler to the White House, smiles and shakes his hand, tells him how helpful he'll be as Hitler takes over.

Democrats believe none of what they claim. https://t.co/PdWdJoZwOz

The conspiracy theorists were also engaged, noticing the disparity between Biden yesterday and years ago:

They say Biden is 6 foot tall and Trump is 6 3".
Now just for fun let's throw in Obama who says 6 2"

And you want to tell me this is Biden with Trump?

Some noticed the difference between Jill Biden’s demeanor while meeting Trump and sitting beside her husband’s bumbling deputy who became his replacement for the nomination.

The marvels of AI were also on display:
