At the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter, President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were seen conversing amiably, laughing, and sharing a quiet moment. A lip reader, Jeremy Freeman, reported that Trump suggested they meet privately to “deal with something,” to which Obama responded with mild reluctance, calling it a “chore.” Trump responded humorously, and the two continued their conversation. The nature of their discussion remained unclear, though Trump later acknowledged the interaction appeared friendly, despite their differing political views. The funeral, attended by all living presidents, had moments of tension, including an awkward encounter when Karen Pence declined to shake Melania Trump’s hand. Social media quickly reacted, criticizing the snub and highlighting tensions among the former first ladies.
