President-elect Donald Trump has once again shown that his sense of humor knows no bounds, using his social media platform to troll Vice President Kamala Harris with a playful yet biting parody video. The video, which was posted on Truth Social Sunday, was a cheeky take on his viral interaction with former President Barack Obama at the funeral of President Jimmy Carter.
The moment between Trump and Obama at Carter’s memorial service in Washington, D.C. had everyone talking. As the two leaders exchanged what appeared to be a friendly conversation, the public couldn’t help but speculate about what was being said between the two political giants. Trump’s quick wit turned this moment into a golden opportunity for some lighthearted mockery.
In his parody video, Trump dubbed in some tongue-in-cheek commentary, imagining the conversation between him and Obama. As the clip begins, a jovial Obama tells Trump, “I knew you’d win,” only for a sarcastic Trump to respond, “Oh really? Come on. Anyone could beat her.” The playful jab was a clear reference to Harris, who lost to Trump in the 2020 election, setting up the comedic punchline: Obama remarks that he did what he could to help Harris, but she was “horrendous.”
The timing couldn’t be more fitting. Just months after Trump trounced Harris to reclaim the White House, the parody video provides a reminder of just how out of touch the Biden-Harris administration continues to be. Trump’s tongue-in-cheek commentary serves as both a lighthearted dig at Harris’ performance and a reflection of the political chaos that has unfolded since Biden’s disastrous debate with Trump in 2020.
In a hilarious turn, the video then shifts to Harris entering the funeral with her husband, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and taking her seat just in front of Trump and Obama. Behind her, the fake audio continues its mockery, as the two presidents joke about Harris, with Obama adding that she was “horrendous” in her handling of the political landscape.
But Trump wasn’t done yet. The parody also threw shade at Hillary Clinton, who Trump famously defeated in the 2016 election. The dubbed Trump remarks, “You know what I realized. Hillary still hates me so much,” prompting a bemused smile from Obama. The video cuts to Clinton, sitting at the funeral with her husband, former President Bill Clinton, looking visibly glum as she’s caught in the crossfire of Trump’s verbal jabs.
Despite the fun he had poking fun at his political adversaries, Trump later explained the lighthearted nature of his interactions with Obama. In an interview, Trump remarked that he hadn’t realized just how friendly his chat with Obama had appeared until afterward. “Boy, they look like two people that like each other,” Trump mused, acknowledging that while they had different philosophies, they still got along. “I got along with just about everybody,” Trump added with his signature confidence.
While a professional lip reader attempted to decipher the exact contents of the conversation between Trump and Obama, the full details remain unclear. But one thing is for sure: Trump continues to dominate the social media landscape, blending humor with a sharp political edge to keep both his supporters entertained and his critics on their toes.
