This is what Trump wanted: his crush Obama to be nice to him and take him to the dance.

At one point, Vice President Kamala Harris's reaction to the friendly energy behind her also drew plenty of backlash.

Who was at the other friendly funeral?
Despite the viral photos and videos, the AP said former Democratic President Bill Clinton and his Republican successor, George W. Bush, also spoke cordially with Trump. The president-elect also shook hands with his former vice president, Mike Pence. You may recall that Pence was a loyal ally until Trump refused to join his efforts to remain president after losing the 2020 election to Biden.
While Barack Obama, Bill and George seemed to have a friendly energy for Donald, Gov. Gavin Newsom recently returned Trump's shade. The day before Carter's funeral, the president-elect took to Truth Social to blame Newsom for the fires raging in California right now. In return, Gavin and his communications director accused Trump of playing politics in a deadly crisis.
