Donald Trump spoke a few viral second from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, when Trump was filmed speaking with former President Barack Obama and Obama appeared to giggle at one thing he stated.
Requested at a presser Thursday in regards to the particulars of the change, the president-elect replied:
“It did look very pleasant, I need to say. I didn’t notice how pleasant it seemed. I noticed it in your great community just a bit whereas in the past earlier than I got here in and I stated, ‘Boy, they seem like two those that like one another.’”
“And we in all probability do,” Trump continued. “We’ve got slightly totally different philosophies, proper? However we in all probability do. I don’t know. We simply acquired alongside. However I acquired together with nearly everyone. We met backstage, as you recognize, earlier than we went on. And I assumed it was a phenomenal service. However all of us acquired alongside very nicely, which is sweet.”
Obama himself has not commented on the interplay.
However the forty fourth president drew some criticism for what some stated seemed like his pleasant demeanor to the person who for years pushed the racist “birther” conspiracy principle that Obama was not born in the USA. Others steered he was solely humoring Trump.
Trump repeatedly drew Obama’s ire throughout the 2024 election, with Obama at one level slamming his successor within the White Home as a “billionaire who has not stopped whining about his issues since he rode down his golden escalator 9 years in the past.”
