A lot of speculation went into what they were discussing, and Trump himself joined in on the fun, posting an AI-generated recount of what appeared to be a friendly conversation.
The parody, shared to Trump’s Truth Social and Instagram accounts, shows the two men greeting one another as Obama sits next to Trump while choral music plays in the background.
“Congratulations,” Obama said before Trump asks how the former president is doing.
“I knew you’d win,” phony Obama declares in the video, to which Trump replies, “Come on. Anyone could beat her,” referring to Vice President Kamala Harris.
Obama then says he was “equally appalled,” apparently by Harris’ campaign, before slamming President Joe Biden for not stepping down sooner.
“He just didn’t want to leave,” fake Obama’s says. “I did what I could to help (Kamala) but she was horrendous.”
Another spoof shows Trump remarking that Hillary Clinton still “hates” him and will “never forgive him,” before panning to a sombre Clinton, who was also in attendance with husband Bill.
The spoof ends with Fake Trump suggesting to Fake Obama that they should meet.
And it appeared they were about to plan a golf date before they are interrupted by the arrival of Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, who take their seats in the row in front of the blossoming bromance.
In the video, Harris turns around to see Obama and Trump talking to one another before turning back around.
“Did you see that, she won’t even look at me,” the Obama voiceover says to Trump.

Fake Trump then claims that some of Harris’ people told him she “fell off the wagon.”
Fake Obama agrees, noting, “She’s not really built for this. And that pressure, if you’re not built for it, will do it.”
During a press conference following the funeral, reporters wanted to know what the men were discussing.
“I didn’t realize how friendly it looked. I said, ‘Boy they look like two people who like each other’ and we probably do,” Trump said.
He added: “We have little different philosophies, right, but we probably do.”
Trump said the past presidents “met backstage” before the funeral and “we all got along very well.”
