viral footage captured an intriguing interaction between former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump, leaving Vice President Kamala Harris visibly displeased.
The video depicts Harris’s reaction upon witnessing Obama, a longtime supporter of her political ambitions for over 15 years, engaging in what appeared to be a cordial conversation with Trump, the very Republican who had crushed her dreams in the 2024 presidential election. As Harris turned towards the sound of their civil chatter, she seemed to roll her eyes, grimace, and turn away, attempting to divert her attention elsewhere by paging through the funeral program.
Kamala isn’t even trying to conceal her emotions. She is visibly upset that Obama is talking to Trump… Hey, Kamala — you LOST. You can only blame yourself for your own misery.pic.twitter.com/N7JcjjFKMM

Conservative commentator Joe Concha noted on X, “Going to file this under ‘death stare’ from Kamala to Obama/Trump during the Carter funeral, who are getting along swimmingly. It’s like watching Carson and Rickles, these two.” CNN’s Kaitlan Collins remarked, “These are just moments that you don’t see hardly ever.”
While many focused on Harris’s poor reaction, others highlighted Obama’s apparent comfort in joking around with an individual he had previously labeled a “fascist” and characterized as a villain for years.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald captioned the video, “Former President Barack Obama casually and amiably chats with Adolf Hitler as the latter is set to assume power in 11 days, end American democracy, and impose a white nationalist dictatorship.”
Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, commented on a video showing Obama chuckling at Trump’s remarks, “This is what happens when you win. Obama knows more than anyone how much he rigged the game against Trump and knows how tough Trump has to be to have pulled off this miracle.”
LOL!!!!
Vice-President Kamala Harris is visibly FURIOUS as the man who beat her in the 2024 election, President-elect Donald Trump, is having a blast talking to former President Barack Obama!

Trump was seated between his wife, Melania, and Obama, who appeared to have attended the event alone, as his wife, Michelle Obama, was in Hawaii. Obama was flanked on his right by Laura Bush, George W. Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton.
After sitting alone in the front row for several minutes, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, were joined by President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill. ABC News noted that Harris did not greet the incoming president.
Jimmy Carter, eulogized by his sons and Biden, was the 39th president of the United States. He passed away in his Georgia home at the age of 100 on Dec. 29.
