It did look very friendly, I must say. I didn’t realize how friendly it looked,’ Trump says of interaction with Obama during funeral

The president-elect said he "didn't realize" one thing about the exchange at Jimmy Carter's funeral until he saw footage of it.

The former president and once-again-future president, who are historically something less than besties, chatted it up before the service began. (Michelle Obama was not in attendance.)

Trump is obviously no fan of Biden, but Obama and his veep also have a famously complex relationship, only made more so after Obama helped nudge Biden to quit the presidential race last summer. Surely Obama feels some frustration that Biden fumbled a possibly winnable race; maybe he couldn’t help spill to his sworn enemy?

After Trump launched his bid for his first term in office in 2015, Obama, then-president, mocked his chances of ever assuming the nation’s office. The incident, which occurred on a late-night comedy show, went viral after Trump went on to win the presidency not once but twice.
