THE truth behind President Donald Trump and rival Barack Obama’s cheery conversation at Jimmy Carter’s funeral has been unveiled in a new book.
Top reporters lifted the lid on what had Obama laughing in the church pews after interviewing over 350 people involved in the tense 2024 presidential election.

On January 9, after Trump had handily defeated rival Kamala Harris, all of the leaders save for Michelle Obama put aside their political differences to help bury Carter.
Americans were struck by pictures of the event that captured Obama breaking out into a wide grin as he spoke with Trump, who was preparing to be inaugurated.
The pair was seated beside each other for the proceedings while stone-faced Harris sat coldly behind them.
It was far different from 2018, when Melania Trump sat in between the two rivals for George H. W. Bush’s funeral after the reality TV star had defeated Hillary Clinton.
Now, in the book 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, sources have revealed that Trump broke a smile out of his rival by inviting him to play golf at one of his elite clubs.
Trump had Obama in stiches as he was “enticing him with descriptions of Trump’s courses around the world,” the passage reads, according to Axios.
This isn’t the only time that the president spoke about his favorite sport with his political rivals, according to authors Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf.
The three journalists, who covered the campaign together for the Washington Post, spoke with hundreds of sources who gave a behind-the-scenes look at how Harris and Biden conceded to Trump.
