Lip Reader Reveals What President Trump Said To Obama At Jimmy Carter’s Funeral


A professional lip reader has revealed what President Trump said to Obama during Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

Trump reportedly told Obama, “I’ve pulled out of that. It’s the conditions. Can you imagine that?”

Trump added, “Call me at the foy after.”

Obama responded, “Can you just… it should be good.”

Trump added, “I can’t talk. We have to find a quiet place sometime” to discuss something of “importance.”

Per The New York Post:

Former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump had what appeared to be a warm conversation Thursday ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, but a professional lip reader told The Post their smiles and laughter belied more serious substance.

Trump, 78, possibly wary of cameras facing the pair as they sat shoulder to shoulder, cautioned Obama, 63, that they would have to “find a quiet place” later in the day to discuss a “matter of importance,” according to forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman.

It’s unclear what precisely that conversation would entail, but Freeman’s translation indicated that Obama and Trump may have been discussing international agreements.

At one point, Trump leaned toward Obama and said, “I’ve pulled out of that. It’s the conditions. Can you imagine that?”

Trump notably removed the US from Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal and the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement during his first term, though it’s unclear if those pacts were what was being discussed.

Obama laughed as Trump added, “and after, I will,” before the pooled TV camera feed cut away from the men, who were bracketed by former first lady Laura Bush and Trump’s wife Melania.

“Call me at the foy after, yep,” Trump replied to Obama during their exchange, possibly referring to the National Cathedral’s foyer.

Obama then said, “can you just … it should be good.”

Per The Hill:

President-elect Trump and former President Obama had an extended friendly exchange as they sat next to each other at the funeral services for former President Carter on Thursday.

Cameras captured Trump and Obama at Washington National Cathedral exchanging pleasantries, with Obama laughing at something the incoming president was saying. They appeared to chat for several minutes before the funeral services began.
