In a surprising turn, President-elect Donald Trump revealed that he and former President Barack Obama “probably do” like each other, despite their political differences. Trump, 78, admitted during a C-Span2 broadcast that he hadn’t initially realized how friendly they appeared in a viral clip from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral. “We probably do,” he said, acknowledging their contrasting philosophies but expressing that they simply got along.

Trump had long criticized Obama, particularly during the “birther” controversy and following the 2016 election when he accused Obama of ordering surveillance on his campaign.
