“The Daily Show” mocks former President Obama and President-elect Donald Trump’s friendly interactions Thursday at former President Jimmy Carter’s state funeral, given the intense rhetoric about Trump by Obama and other political opponents.

I note the viral moment where Trump and Obama spoke at length and even appeared to laugh, she said in a clip highlighted by Mediaite: “It’s kind of weird for Obama, right? To go from ‘this guy is the future Hitler’ to ‘oh, man , cool story, future Hitler!'”

“It seemed pretty awkward to me that they all had to sit next to Donald Trump,” Lysic said. “Just think about the history there.”
Apparently friendly interactions between Trump and Obama went viral after the two sat next to each other at the state funeral.
At one point, Vice President Kamala Harris turned around and saw the two talking cordially, before turning back to the front and looking stone-faced.
“I don’t know if that funeral music was for Carter or for her. Kamala looked exactly like I do when someone is talking behind me in the movie theater,” she said.

Trump and Obama were surrounded by other notable figures, including former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Mike Pence President Bill Clintonformer first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as President Biden and Harris.
