Donald Trump Addresses That Viral Video With Chuckling Barack Obama
HuffPost
The president-elect said he "didn't realize" one thing about the exchange at Jimmy Carter's funeral until he saw footage of it.
Donald Trump spoke about a viral moment from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, when Trump was filmed talking with former President Barack Obama and Obama appeared to laugh at something he said.
Asked at a presser Thursday about the details of the exchange, the president-elect replied:
“It did look very friendly, I must say. I didn’t realize how friendly it looked. I saw it on your wonderful network just a little while ago before I came in and I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people who like each other.’”
“And we probably do,” Trump continued. “We have a little different philosophies, right? But we probably do. I don’t know. We just got along. But I got along with just about everybody. We met backstage, as you know, before we went on. And I thought it was a beautiful service. But we all got along very well, which is good.”
Obama himself has not commented on the interaction.
