Trump and Mike Pence being in the same space has got to be the most awkward event in their lives rn

[Tony-lksn]

We're out here, fighting against one another for politics, while the two people we're fighting against are sitting together, laughing, and having a conversation!

Isn't it odd how nearly everyone sitting at this bench is 78? Bill Clinton is exactly 78. George Bush is 78. Laura Bush is 78. Donald Trump is 78. Hillary Clinton is 77.

[girl.thatsdorian]

Idk why but I loved seeing Obama and Trump acting and looking like regular ppl.

[MaheshWalatara]

Imagine the Secret Service nightmare protecting all 5 Presidents. 😮😮😮

[theadrenalizedartist]

It is a funeral, if you cannot put aside differences then that is pathetic. R.I.P. President Carter

[louneissen]

It's NOT about Trump or Obama. It's about Jimmy Carter.

[ChadAmI]

It truly is just like the family getting together at funeral. Wild to see them all together and interact.

[sophial.]

10 bucks says Obama got together with everyone else and was like “ look I’ll do it, I’ll sit next to him” lol

-Minecraft tonight on 8pm?
-Is Joe coming too?
-Joe who?

[LaLeoRonroneo]

Why does someone have to die for us to be polite and have harmony? Please let there be more of this moving forward. I pray for all the world for this.

Hilary coming in looking like a dark souls boss with the music 1:00

[charliee]

You got Obama and Trump laughing, Bush walks in, Pence awkwardly sitting in the back, and Kamala sulking. This is like a movie man 😂😂

[MrGriff-du]

For the past 15 years, Trump just wanted Obama to laugh at his jokes. Obama's roast of Trump at the correspondent's dinner caused his entire Presidency

[Natedawgg]

Trump to Obama, "My funeral will be much bigger!" Obama to Trump, "That's a good one!" 🤣

[thatsoboy]

George Bush came walking in looking for Michelle I bet he had a pocket full of pepper mints this time 😂😂😂😂

[Aug_Bot]

Only Jimmy Carter could have brought them together :)

[gals]

Nothing wrong with being civil with each other & acting like adults.

[altamesebenavram]

Barack can be civil to anyone. He can forego ill will to be respectful of occasion. This doesn’t surprise me at all.

[ollantaytambo]

Wow. That blew my mind.. and they were smiling.. and .. talking.. so awesome.. in the name of Jimmy Carter.
