'It did look very friendly': Trump opens up about viral moment with Barack Obama
India TodayUS President-elect Donald Trump has addressed the viral moment of camaraderie between him and his predecessor Barack Obama during former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, suggesting the two may share a mutual fondness despite their long history of political feuding. I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people that like each other.’ And we probably do.” The interaction, which took place on Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, featured the two leaders shaking hands, conversing and laughing together before the service began. Trump was a proponent of the “birther” movement, which questioned Obama’s birthplace, prompting the Democrat to release his long-form Hawaiian birth certificate in 2011. Obama, for his part, has been sharply critical of the flamboyant business magnate-turned-president, describing him last year as a “78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems.” He also mocked Trump’s fixation on crowd sizes during the Democratic National Convention, holding his hands inches apart in a suggestive gesture.
