Donald Trump is armed with a parody video that’s got the internet in stitches. The President-elect dropped a spoof of his exchange with former President Barack Obama at Jimmy Carter’s funeral and subtlety was left at the door.
On January 12, 2025, Trump dropped this zinger on his Truth Social and Instagram account. The video uses fake dialogue to depict a conversation between Trump and Obama. The scene is a solemn funeral, a dirge playing softly, and Trump and Obama seated next to each other.
A user commented: "The fact that they sat them together is so funny 😂😂😂😂"
Another user said: "Now we’ve heard it directly from the man himself, has to be true duh 😂😂"
A user said: "Not the biggest Trump-fan, but this is hilarious."
"I'm assuming this was the actual conversation", said another.
A comment read: "Kamala walking in: Oh Obama sitting with Trump... I'm too sober for this... Where's my drink? 😂"
A user went on to highlight: "It’s the Facial expressions for me😂😂"
Trump and Obama’s parody video
Obama kicks things off, congratulating Trump with a smirk:
"I knew you'd win."
This was a nod to Trump's victory over Kamala Harris in the 2024 election. Trump snaps back with:
"Anyone could beat her."
Trump then swivels the spotlight to Hillary Clinton, quipping:
"You know what I realized? Hillary still hates me so much. She’ll never forgive me."
The camera cuts to Hillary looking less than thrilled in the audience.
And just when you think it couldn’t get juicier, Obama chimes in with his own roast of President Biden. Obama says, giving Trump a sly grin:
"He just didn’t want to leave. I did what I could to help [Kamala], she was horrendous."
The parody wraps up with Kamala Harris and Doug Emhoff entering the church and sitting in front of the former presidents.
What actually happened?
Back to reality, the original interaction between Trump and Obama at Carter’s funeral on January 9, 2025, was less meme-worthy but still intriguing.
Despite their famously frosty relationship, the two were caught in what looked like a friendly chat, leading to a frenzy of speculation. Lip readers had a field day trying to decipher the exchange, but no one could pin down the exact words.
Trump later remarked that he "didn't realize how friendly" the chat appeared, adding that they "probably do" get along, despite their differing philosophies.
