President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama exchanged a few laughs on Thursday while attending the State Funeral Service for former President Jimmy Carter who died Dec. 29th in Plains, Georgia after two years of hospice care; Carter was 100 years old.
Trump and Obama, who were seated next to each other at the service, were seen sharing a light conversation and laughing. At one point, Vice President Kamala Harris looked on and appeared visibly annoyed that the two were getting along.

From The Hill:
When Trump entered the cathedral, he shook hands with other rivals of his, including former Vice President Mike Pence, and the two men exchanged some words. Trump also shook hands with former Vice President Al Gore,who was seated next to Pence. Trump did not appear to stand up when Obama went to greet him, but after taking his seat, Trump and Obama spoke to each other in what seemed from afar to be a friendly manner.
Carter’s funeral brought together all four of the living American presidents: Trump, Obama, President Biden, former President Clinton and former President George W. Bush.
But the moment between Trump and Obama was particularly notable given their longtime animosity toward each other.
