But we probably do. I don\u2019t know. We just got along. But I got along with just about everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although Trump didn\u2019t delve into the specifics of what the two discussed, forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman speculated that their conversation might have focused on international matters. Freeman pointed out that both men were likely aware of the cameras capturing their exchange and were deliberately appearing cordial, despite the possibility of more serious topics being discussed behind closed doors.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-header-components\">\n<header class=\"m-header mm-header--standard mm-header--left mm-header--content-detail\">\n<section class=\"m-header--container\">\n<ul

class=\"m-detail--body\">\n<p>In a surprising twist, President-elect Donald Trump revealed that he and former President Barack Obama &#8220;probably do&#8221; like each other, despite their differing political views. The two were seen chatting and laughing together in a viral clip from former President Jimmy Carter&#8217;s funeral at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., on Thursday, January 9.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><a><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.webp 380w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.webp 620w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.png 380w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.png 620w, https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.png 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.png\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"President Trump and President Obama smiling while talking to each other at Jimmy Carter's funeral, Photo Credit: Inside Edition\/Youtube\" width=\"1028\" height=\"630\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEyNDM0OTc2MjI5MDQxNjcz\/trump2.png\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\">President Trump and President Obama smiling while talking to each other at Jimmy Carter&#8217;s funeral, Photo Credit:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EfnE4KSH_kw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inside Edition\/Youtube<\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"outstream-0\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d is-loaded\" data-ad-group=\"outstream-0\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<header class=\"m-ad-outstream--header\">\n<div class=\"m-ad-outstream--legend\"><\/div>\n<\/header>\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad--slot not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-outstream-3713ba201b57464a9334fd67235fc933\" class=\"m-ad-outstream--fallback is-filled\" data-outstream-slot-id=\"ad-outstream-outstream-e941ab293f7347f5b4c6ef8c0f17b06a\" data-google-query-id=\"CObdlumY6osDFY5ZCAQdr0YGCw\" data-ad-size=\"fixedBottomD\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007,25172614\/www.opposingviews.com\/politics_9__container__\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/88059007,25172614\/www.opposingviews.com\/politics_9\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"3rd party ad content\" src=\"https:\/\/2ad93cc73c725b789c2ceb48201be7e9.safeframe.googlesyndication.com\/safeframe\/1-0-41\/html\/container.html\" name=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" data-is-safeframe=\"true\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-google-container-id=\"9\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, Trump, 78, admitted that he hadn\u2019t initially realized how friendly he and Obama, 63, appeared in the footage. &#8220;I saw the video and I thought, &#8216;Boy, they look like two people that like each other.&#8217; And we probably do,&#8221; he said during a C-Span2 broadcast. &#8220;We have a little different philosophies, right?

Trump rose to political prominence in part due to his role in the &#8220;birther&#8221; movement, which questioned whether Obama, a native of Hawaii, was born in the U.S. or in Kenya. The controversy led Obama to release a long-form birth certificate in 2011 to put the rumors to rest. Additionally, after the 2016 election, Trump accused Obama of ordering federal authorities to &#8220;spy&#8221; on his campaign over alleged ties to Russia, deepening the rift between the two.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><a><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"m-detail--tml-image m-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/t_share\/MjEyNDM0ODk4MzgyNzU5NDMz\/trump4.png\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"President Trump and President Obama smiling while talking to each other at Jimmy Carter's funeral,\u00a0Photo Credit: Inside Edition\/Youtube\" width=\"1048\" height=\"628\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.opposingviews.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjEyNDM0ODk4MzgyNzU5NDMz\/trump4.png\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"m-detail--tml-image-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption>\n<p class=\"tml-image--caption\"><em>President Trump and President Obama smiling while talking to each other at Jimmy Carter&#8217;s funeral,\u00a0<\/em><em>Photo Credit:\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EfnE4KSH_kw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inside Edition\/Youtube<\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>While Trump has not hesitated to criticize Obama, the former president has also taken jabs at Trump over the years.

Obama also criticized Trump\u2019s lengthy speeches, comparing them to those of Fidel Castro and referencing his \u201cconstant attempts to sell you stuff,&#8221; such as his golden sneakers and branded Bibles.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\">\n<div class=\"m-in-content-ad not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-2\" data-zone-count=\"5\">\n<div class=\"not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d m-in-content-ad is-loaded\">\n<div id=\"ad-in_content-aaade16191654f2ea05f88be73509c2c\" data-google-query-id=\"CNnY_-iY6osDFWFPCAQdEJ8fxw\" data-ad-size=\"adhesion\">\n<p>Despite the past tension, this unexpected interaction between Trump and Obama at the funeral left many speculating about the true nature of their relationship.
