President-elect Donald Trump acknowledged on Thursday that he and former President Barack Obama “probably do” like each other, after a viral video showed the two presidents chatting at President Jimmy Carter’s funeral. Trump commented on their apparent friendliness, noting that while they have different philosophies, they likely get along. Despite being political rivals who have criticized each other in the past, Trump has previously praised Obama, referring to him as a “nice gentleman” and expressing his respect for the Obamas. In the past, Trump had spread the false birther conspiracy theory about Obama not being born in the United States, and has criticized the former president as “ineffective” and “terrible.” The Obamas have also been critical of Trump, with Obama referring to him as a billionaire who constantly complains, and Michelle Obama warning about the serious consequences of his presidency. However, Trump and Obama have had positive exchanges, notably after Trump’s victory in 2016 when Obama welcomed him to the White House and they had a “wide-ranging” conversation. Despite their differences, it seems that there is a level of mutual respect and cordiality between the two leaders.
