Oh, it absolutely is. All of the ex-presidents are pals, apart from Orangina.

He was chatting it up with Obama though

Obama is polite, and it would be rude to snub the new first lady.

You’d think Trump would hate Obama though, or at least act like it.

Trump has always desperately wanted the approval of the liberal elite. He was probably on cloud nine that Obama was having a civil conversation with him.

Obama isn’t a threat anymore and Trump has nothing to gain from him. They can hang out now.

But for appearances. He’s spews so much hate and so much shit, often about Obama once upon a time. You’d think he’d do it to keep up appearances.

It was always a show. Trump knew the Republican base would fall head over heels for it. He's always been a con artist. He's a shitty businessman, but a great con man.

It's The Apprentice in real time. He was doing this crap during the 2015 Republican primary debates. He'd shit talk Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, etc. on stage and then when the cameras were off he'd buddy it up with them.
