At the death of former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday, former presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump were seen laughing and savoring each other, but a skilled lipreader has discovered what might have been a much more critical conversation that was taking place behind those smiles.
As the two giants of American politics sat side by side in the pews, the presence of cameras and the somber atmosphere seemed to mask what could have been a highly secretive and intense exchange. Despite their icy relationship over the years, the two men were sucked into a lively conversation that went beyond pleasantries.
According to criminal lipreader Jeremy Freeman, Trump, 78, gently warned Obama, 63, that they would need to “find a silent place” later to discuss things of “importance”.
But what might this crucial issue been?
Freeman, who has served as a University College London-certified expert testimony for over 16 times, as reported by the New York Post, translated Trump’s comments as he leaned toward Obama, concealing,” I’ve pulled out of that. It’s the problems. Can you imagine that”? Obama, chuckling, responded with a knowing grin as Trump continued,” and when, I will”, before the TV monitors cut away.
But what were they talking about?
According to Freeman’s speech, the two appeared to be discussing global contracts. Could this have been a simple guide to Trump’s well-known choices to retreat from Obama’s location policies, such as the Iran nuclear deal or the Paris Climate Agreement?
As the talk progressed, the two appeared to be plotting their next move. Trump said,” Visit me at the fay after, yep”, seemingly referring to the National Cathedral’s hall. Obama, nodding, responded with,” Can you just … it should be fine”. Trump replied firmly,” I can’t talk, we have to find a quiet place somewhere. This is a matter of importance, and we need to do this inside so that we can cope with it, definitely, today”.
Given their turbulent history, which includes Trump accusing Obama of being the source of the FBI’s alleged security of his 2016 campaign and making frequent mockings of Trump for his fascination with audience styles and even his business ventures, it should come as no surprise that any discussion between them would be anything but normal.
The amazing whispers suggest that, despite their differences, the two gentlemen had been aligning on anything important. Could it be related to Trump’s departure from Obama’s foreign contracts? Or was this a completely novel idea? The earth might never be aware. But what we do understand is that Obama and Trump’s chances of winning are anything but calm even in quiet reflection.
