Former President Barack Obama and incoming commander-in-chief Donald Trump were seen chatting as American leaders gathered to pay their respects to Carter.

The one-term president died on Christmas Eve in Plains, Georgia after spending more than a year in a hospice. His death was confirmed by his son - who called him a hero.

Jimmy Carter was the 39th U.S. President, a Democrat, and served in the White House between 1977 and 1981 - but lost a re-election bid to Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Presidents Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Joe Biden all gathered on Thursday to attend his state funeral in Washington D.C.

In surprising scenes, long-time rivals Obama and Trump were pictured laughing and chatting ahead of the ceremony.

Melania Trump also made a rare public appearance alongside her husband, as did former White House hopeful and secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

Mr Biden, a long-time Carter ally, will deliver a eulogy at the service.

Vice President Kamala Harris, who lost the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump, was also pictured in attendance alongside her husband.

It marks the first time Ms Harris has been pictured alongside Mr Trump since his storming election victory in November.

After the funeral, the Boeing 747 that is Air Force One when a sitting president is aboard will carry Mr Carter and his family back to Georgia.

An invitation-only funeral will be held at Maranatha Baptist Church in tiny Plains, Georgia, where he taught Sunday School for decades after leaving office.

Mr Carter will be buried next to his wife in a plot near the home they built before his first state Senate campaign in 1962 and where they lived out their lives with the exception of four years in the Georgia Governor's Mansion and four years in the White House.

Its only here on nairaland I have seen people harbour hatred for Obama cos they are angry for him backing LGBT which is the democratic party idealogy.

Go to his page you hardly find an American commenting trash about him.

Everyone admires Obama bro. Politics just won’t let them admit it. There’s no way you will listen to Obama and you won’t be inspired.

His greatest speeches to me, were in no order

2004 Democratic National Convention
2008 Democratic National Convention

In fact all convention speeches.
2015 Troop address in Afghanistan.
2014 UN general assembly address during the ISIS crisis period.

2016 Address to the Canadian Parliament
2013 speech at Nelson Mandela funeral
2019 Nelson Mandela Memorial lecture.

And several more

I agree with you wholeheartedly, I've listened to so many of his speeches, you can listen to him for hours without knowing it, his humility, decency and good character is seriously lacking today


As first black president, he really did well

Oga Joe wan shayooo

People who understand government know the sitting arrangement between Obama and Trump was preplanned. There’s something important they need to discuss and this is the best way to get them sit and talk about it together. There’s nothing friendly or reconciliatory going on. Pure government business.

Bill Clinton is a perfect gentleman.

If you’ve ever heard Obama speak to conservatives he will always say that he respects the beliefs of those who are against abortion or LGBT persons due to religious reasons but he feels that America is a place where everyone should be able to make personal decisions without fear of the government or fear of discrimination.

Trump himself has stated that he will veto a National abortion ban and did not make any campaign statements against same sex marriage.

I don’t think it was specially planned. The arrangement was according to time in office. From clinton to bush to Obama to trump.


Michelle was meant to be beside Trump but she didn’t attend.

For me, Obama’s intelligence defined him the most. Biden too is humble and decent but not as smart as Obama.

Trump is averagely smart but character is lacking.

Nice!

Rest in perfect peace

No cooking of community rice, no killing of cow for elders, no nothing but the burial held...unlike a country I know.

why are they not giving them big executive chairs as we do in Nigeria
