New Book Spills On What Trump Reportedly Asked Obama At Jimmy Carter’s Funeral

President Donald Trump asked former President Barack Obama to play golf with him while he was seated next to his predecessor at Jimmy Carter’s funeral back in January, according to a new book by three top political reporters.

Trump reportedly invited Obama to play golf with him, “enticing him with descriptions” of his “courses around the world,” per Axios, which shared details from “2024” by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf.

The conversation between Trump and Obama — which appeared friendly at times and saw the former president laughing at something Trump said — was the center of debate and speculation earlier this year.

It’s unclear if the laugh arrived during Trump’s golf talk although the president previously acknowledged that the chat “did look very friendly.”

“It did look very friendly, I must say. I didn’t realize how friendly it looked. I saw it on your wonderful network just a little while ago before I came in and I said, ‘Boy, they look like two people that like each other,’” Trump later told reporters.

He continued, “And we probably do. We have a little different philosophies, right? But we probably do. I don’t know. We just got along.”

Trump would go on to mock the conversation just days later by posting a doctored video of the chat on his Truth Social platform.

Obama has yet to address his talk with Trump, who once peddled a racist “birther” conspiracy theory that Obama wasn’t born in the United States.

Trump’s golf outings have cost taxpayers at least $38 million so far in his second term and he’s pushed wild claims about his game, the latter of which was tackled in sportswriter Rick Reilly’s 2019 book, “Commander In Cheat.”
