And he was asking whether Barack had any lighter parts. And that’s all I have to say about that.

After her speech at the Democratic Convention, I expect that Trump was looking for a way to insult her at the funeral.

Maybe Michele did not want to be in the same room with Trump, especially not seated near him. Barack feels obligated to follow protocol, but perhaps Michele does not share that feeling.

Had Trump at any time sensed anything he perceived as criticism he would have lost his shit right then and there, funeral decorum be damned. I'm sure Obama was well aware of that and steered the conversation accordingly.

About something he never had anything to do with, possibly an Obama policy win, while Obama is trying not to be too appalled and thinking he is not sitting there for long.

Obama is a genuine nice guy, and probably felt bad, even faking a laugh.
