At Jimmy Carter’s funeral, Trump and Obama shared friendly banter, surprising many and sparking social media reactions.
But there they were, joking around like old pals before the service started. It was a sight to see! Trump later told Fox News it felt friendly, saying, “I don’t know, we just got along.”
Of course, not everyone was thrilled. Some folks on social media were acting like the world was ending. Radio host Charlamagne tha God even accused Obama of “kissing the ring.” He was pretty vocal about how strange it looked for Obama to be so chummy with Trump after all the harsh words exchanged.
But honestly, what were they supposed to do? They were sitting next to each other at a funeral for a beloved former president. It was a gathering of five living presidents, including Biden, who praised Carter for his character and kindness.
Michelle Obama wasn’t there, which might have changed the vibe. She usually has a way of keeping things interesting. Remember when she got candy from Bush at a funeral?
Anyway, we’ve all been in awkward situations, right? Whether it’s a wedding or a funeral, sometimes you just have to put on a brave face and act like an adult.
In the end, it’s a reminder that in politics, there are no permanent enemies or friends, just interests. Obama and Trump are part of an exclusive club, and they both have their own rings to kiss.
