Donald Trump never revealed what he and former president Barack Obama discussed in the viral footage from Jimmy Carter’s funeral though he happily commented on that and said that probably he likes Obama. But Trump makes sure to post a made-up version of their lip-reading in which Barack Obama said ‘Kamala Harris was horrendous’.
Forensic lipreader Jeremy Freeman interpreted that Obama and Trump said that they needed to find a quiet place to talk.
“I can’t talk, we have to find a quiet place sometime. This is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so that we can deal with it, certainly, today.”
“I’ve pulled out of that. It’s the conditions. Can you believe it?” Trump said, with Obama responding with a nod.
When Trump was asked about the unusual camaraderie, Trump said he looked at the video later and marvelled that in the video they looked like two people that like each other. “I didn’t realize how friendly it looked…I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people that like each other.’ And we probably do,” Trump said. “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,” Trump said without revealing anything about what they discussed.
Since then, many versions of lipreading, obviously made-up, went viral. And Donald Trump Sunday shared one on his Truth Social — without any comment probably hinyting his liking about the interpretation.
Here’s how this version goes:
Obama: Well, Mr President
Trump: For the second time. Barack very nice to see you
Obama: Congratulations. So how you doing?
Trump: A lot better now
Obama: Yeah I bet. I knew you’d win.
Trump: Oh really! Oh come on, anyone could beat her
Obama: You kidding me! I was just as appalled. You know what happened? He (Biden) just didn’t wanna leave
Trump: I know
Obama: I did what I could to help her. She was horrendous.
Trump: I know. You know what I realized? Hillary still hates me.
Obama laughs
Trump: So much. I know she will never forgive me. We should meet to discuss things.
Obama: I think so too. We can definitely set some things up.
And then the video shows Kamala Harris coming with Doug Emhoff. “She won’t even look at me,” Obama told Trump referring to Kamala Harris in this made-up interpretation.
