Who cares they can talk to each other and it's not anyone's business

[RobertBrard]

Obama asked if he could get a pardon from President Trump

[karendomengeaux]

I am glad it was a civil conversation. PRAISE GOD!

[marvelwonderwoman]

Americans need them to get along. We don't need to continuously see politicians from different sides hating each other. It's not good for society to spread hate!!!

[guyolivierguidoponou]

Trump est un homme particulièrement humain, un vrai artiste de la communication. Il ne manquera aucune occasion pour narguer des ennemis et les rappeler qu'il est toujours là malgré les complots et le harcèlement de la franc-maçonnerie.

[galestanley]

Don't trust him he is playing you

[YCART-sell]

Trump telling Obama, China gonna pay for it, and Obama laughing his a$$ off😂😂😂 😂😂. Trump asking Obama, hey you want to be my governor of Canada or Greenland, and Obama crying tears of laughter 😂😂😂 😂😂😂

[jeffreyschermerhorn]

My President your president.. our president

[deannabell]

President Barack is happy YES for seeing It this way will absolutely help the two President's give Americans people's and in around the world a better feeling by seeing the laughter of building up friends that might turn to helping out for 2029 -2030 ...You see what happen in Pacific Palisades plus 5 others area's of Hell of Fires
of In California .

[miriammaldonado]

I love to see President Trump and Hussein Barack Obama weren't talking about the past.

[Nohelp]

I'm wondering if Obama, who was called "the deporter in chief" due to setting a then record for deporting more than 3 million people during his time in office, was maybe giving Trump some pointers on deportation??

[forehonor]

So they were talking, The media needs to just stop trying to cause/start issues. None of anyones business whst thry talked about.

[EMMAAYROUT]

President Donald J Trump
That was very said and it's better to be friends than enemies "Obama was happy"
What the world needs now is love sweet love
"Jesus Said love one another
As I have Loved you"

[EMMAAYROUT]

"President Donald J Trump "
That was very well said
"Jesus Said Love one another
As I have Loved you"

[marythomson]

Get a long.

Trump just wishing Obama bon voyage. Gitmo awaits O.

[mps]

I don’t care what they talked about. God forbid maybe they just reminisced about Carter. What I’ve seen most people talk about is Harris’ butthurt look when she saw them. lol

[mariekritzinger]

I was disappointed in the way pres elect DJ Trump turned his back on Melania to chat with Obama. Melania does not look very pleased.

[godfreyberry]

I could simply not believe this after all the underhanded actions and manipulation against Trump from the get go. Melania handled the entire poor seating arrangement with dignity . Why Trump felt the need to converse at the funeral is not a good look at all.

[gloriawilkerson]

I think President Trump has a tender heart. He likes everyone and wants them to like him also
