🕊️ Happening Today
The people-watching has been absolutely fascinating:
Every former living president is in Washington today, to celebrate the life and legacy of former President Carter.
The most fascinating dynamic: Former President Obama and President-elect Trump were seated next to each other and chatted for a while before the service began. While we couldn't hear what they were discussing, it looked cordial. Obama was visibly laughing at something Trump whispered into his ear. 📹 Watch the clip
^Keep in mind: Trump actively promoted the conspiracy about Obama’s birth certificate, and Obama repeatedly tore into his successor on the campaign trail in an effort to keep him out of the White House.
