Trump trolls Obama, Hillary with 'fake' voiceover video

Everyone has been talking about what former President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were talking about ahead of former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

The two men - who are on opposite ends of the political spectrum - appeared to have a warm conversation, smiling and at times even laughing.

Now Mr Trump himself has “revealed” what was said between the pair, by posting a meme video of the conversation.

In the parody, Mr Obama greets Mr Trump with: “Well, Mr President” and Mr Trump quips back, “For a second time. Barack, very nice to see you.”

“Congratulations,” Mr Obama says, sitting next to him. “So how you doing?”

“A lot better now,” Mr Trump replies.

“Yeah, I bet!” Mr Obama responds. “Knew you’d win.”

Mr Trump grins. “Oh really? Oh, come on. Anyone can beat her. She’s just...”

“You kidding me? I was just as appalled,” Mr Obama says. “You know what happened? He [Biden] just didn’t wanna leave. I did what I did to help her. She was horrendous.”

“You know what I realised?” Mr Trump says, leaning in close. “Hillary still hates me. So much. I know she’ll never forgive me.”

Mr Obama laughs as the scene cuts to Ms Clinton looking very solemn and unimpressed.

Mr Trump then suggests to Mr Obama that they meet up over golf, as Kamala Harris enters with her partner.

“Did you see that? She won’t even look at me,” Mr Obama says.

“I was told some of her people, apparently they said she fell off the wagon,” Mr Trump replies. To which Mr Obama agrees.

The hilarious parody video has received 24K likes since it was posted six hours ago, with most comments obviously in support of the President-elect.

“Now we got the scoop,” one comment read.

“My president is savage af,” another one said.

“Lmaooooo, why are you like this,” one cackled.

But a professional lip reader told The New York 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 Obama and Trump appeared to be discussing international agreements, according to Freeman’s translation.

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

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.”

“I can’t talk, we have to find a quiet place sometime. This is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so that we can deal with it, certainly, today,” Trump said, as Obama nodded.

During Trump’s first term, he notably pulled out of Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal and the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement, though it’s unclear if those pacts were what was being discussed.

Freeman, who is based in London, was born deaf and for 16 years has served as a University College London-certified expert witness for litigants, the police and journalists.

Trump and Obama have had tense relations for more than a decade, resulting in widespread surprise at their seemingly cordial interaction.

The 45th president was a leading figure in the “birther” movement questioning whether the 44th president secretly was born in Kenya. The rumours led to Obama releasing the long-form version of his Hawaiian birth certificate in 2011.

After the 2016 election, Trump accused Obama of ordering the feds to “spy” on his campaign over alleged ties to Russia. He typically uses Obama’s full legal name and emphasises the middle name, Hussein.

Obama, meanwhile, stunned viewers by appearing to make a lewd joke about his successor’s manhood by mocking his “weird obsession with crowd sizes” while holding his hands about four inches apart at the Democratic National Convention in August. The first black president also mocked Trump in October for delivering lengthy speeches “like Fidel Castro — just on and on” and his “constant attempts to sell you stuff,” such as golden sneakers and Trump-branded Bibles.
