At the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were observed engaging in a friendly conversation, sharing laughter, and enjoying a private moment together. Lip reader Jeremy Freeman indicated that Trump suggested a private meeting to discuss a particular issue, to which Obama responded with some reluctance, characterizing it as a “chore.” Trump then made a humorous remark, and their interaction remained amicable. The exact subject of their discussion was not revealed; however, Trump later emphasized the cordial nature of their exchange despite their political divergences. The event, which was attended by all living presidents, also included some tense interactions, notably when Karen Pence visibly chose not to shake hands with Melania Trump. Social media quickly highlighted this perceived slight and the underlying tensions among the former first ladies.
