Trump on Obama interaction at Carter funeral: 'It did look very friendly, I must say'

President-elect Trump opened up a little about his interaction with former President Obama at the funeral service for former President Carter Thursday, acknowledging that it looked “friendly.”

“It did look very friendly, I must say,” he told Fox News’s senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy, ahead of his meeting with Republican governors at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

“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 that like each other,'” he added. “And we probably do.”

The two surprisingly laughed and smiled while sitting next to one another at the service following a contentious election season and their past relationship — including Trump falsely accusing his predecessor of spying on his 2016 campaign and not being born in the U.S.

“We have little different philosophies, right?” Trump said Thursday. “I don’t know, we just got along.”

“But I got along with everybody on that,” the president-elect continued. “You know we met backstage before we went on, and I thought it was a beautiful service, but we all got along very well.”

Trump did not provide details about what was said during the viral moment.

Obama sat wedged in between former President George W. Bush and Trump who both attended with their wives. Former first lady Michelle Obama was absent from the services due to a scheduling conflict.

Bush was also notably chummy with his successor, offering Obama a belly tap while heading to his pew at the National Cathedral and receiving a pat on the back in exchange. The former GOP president, however, did not interact with Trump as he passed him by, seemingly ignoring him.
