Trump Addresses That Viral Video With Chuckling Obama | EUROtoday

Asked at a presser Thursday concerning the particulars of the trade, the president-elect replied:

“It did look very friendly, I must say. I didn’t realize how friendly it looked. I saw it on your wonderful network just a little while ago before I came in and I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people who like each other.’”

“And we probably do,” Trump continued. “We have a little different philosophies, right? But we probably do. I don’t know. We just got along. But I got along with just about everybody. We met backstage, as you know, before we went on. And I thought it was a beautiful service. But we all got along very well, which is good.”

Obama himself has not commented on the interplay.

But the forty fourth president drew some criticism for what some stated appeared like his pleasant demeanor to the person who for years pushed the racist Birther conspiracy concept that Obama was not born within the United States. Others recommended he was solely humoring Trump.

Trump repeatedly drew Obama’s ire through the 2024 election, with Obama at one level slamming his successor within the White House as a “billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago.”
