President-elect Donald Trump was trolled online on Sunday by posting a parody conversation online based on a viral video of Vice President Kamala Harris chatting with former President Barack Obama during Jimmy Carter's funeral. .
A seemingly friendly conversation between President Trump and President Obama on Thursday raised eyebrows, leaving observers wondering what the two discussed ahead of the 39th president's memorial service at the National Cathedral. .
President Trump jokingly bridged the gap by posting a parody video on Truth Social with a fake audio dubbed over the real video.
“I knew you were going to win,” the man known as Obama told President Trump after taking his seat.
“Well, really? Come on,” Fake Trump replied. “Anyone could beat her.”
The fake audio behind Obama also said that he did everything he could to help Harris, but that she was “terrible.”
After losing re-election to President Joe Biden in 2020, Trump defeated Harris in November to take back the White House.
Harris came out on top in the summer after a disastrous debate between Biden and Trump forced her to give up her re-election bid.
A parody video shared by President Trump on Sunday shows Ms. Harris walking into a funeral home with her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, sitting in front of Mr. Obama and Mr. Trump, and playing fake audio of both of them. It also showed the president stabbing Harris again behind her back.
Trump's video also took aim at former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who ran in 2016 and lost to the Republican Party.
“You know what I realized? Hillary still really hates me,” the person called Trump said as President Obama smiled. “She'll never forgive me.”
Later, social media posts showed Clinton, who attended Carter's funeral with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, looking somber.
President Trump addressed the viral exchange late Thursday, saying he “didn't realize how friendly it seemed” in the chat until afterward.
“I said, 'Hey, these two look like two people who like each other,' and maybe they will,” Trump said. NBC News at Mar-a-Lago, Florida after the funeral.
“We have a little different philosophy, right? But maybe we will. I don't know. We just got along. But we could get along with just about anyone.”
A professional lip reader revealed some details of the conversation in an interview with the Post after the funeral, but the exact details of what was said are still not widely known.
