Rumoured affair between Jennifer Aniston, Barack Obama sparks mixed reactions from Netizens

The 'friendly' conversation between former US president Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump at Jimmy Carter's funeral grabbed everyone's attention, however, as per the recent reports, it infuriated former first lady Michelle Obama.
Michelle, according to a PageSix report, was distraught to see Barack sharing laughs with Trump.
"The noise is getting louder. I&rsquo;m told she was furious at seeing her husband yukking it up with Trump at the Carter funeral,&rdquo; PageSix cited an insider as saying.
The report comes amidst the couple's divorce rumours that were fuelled after Barack attended Carter's funeral alone.
<h2>Trump and Obama's chat at Carter's funeral</h2>
Obama and Trump's cordial conversation on January 9, ahead of Carter's funeral, kept the internet guessing as to what both were talking about.&nbsp;
Both of them were known to be rivals, but the conversation appeared very friendly, something Trump acknowledged later.
A professional lip reader has come up with an answer to the much-asked question: What did they discuss?
According to the expert, the two were engaged in a serious conversation that was sealed in laughter and smiles, said a report in the New York Post.
<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/trump-mocks-kamala-harris-with-parody-video-of-his-conversation-with-obama-at-carters-funeral-i-knew-youd-win-8618463">Also read: Trump mocks Harris with parody video of his conversation with Obama at Carter's funeral; 'I knew you'd win'</a>
<h2>What was the discussion about?</h2>
Seated shoulder to shoulder, Trump leaned in, possibly concerned about the cameras, and discreetly told Obama that they needed to find a private spot later that day to discuss a pressing matter, claimed the forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman.
The specifics of the conversation are not yet known, but as per Freeman's analysis, they were likely talking about international agreements.
"I've pulled out of that. It's the conditions. Can you imagine that?" Trump said at one point, leaning toward Obama.&nbsp;
<h2>Trump addresses 'friendly' exchange with Obama</h2>
Trump later addressed his friendly chat with Obama, stating that he didn't realise that the conversation appeared so friendly.
&ldquo;I didn&rsquo;t realise how friendly we appeared,&rdquo; Trump told a reporter from his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida after the funeral.&nbsp;
&ldquo;I said, &lsquo;Boy, they look like two people that like each other.&rsquo; And we probably do. We have a little different philosophies, right? But we probably do. I don&rsquo;t know. We just got along. But I got along with just about everybody.&rdquo;

Michelle Obama was ‘furious’ to see Barack 'yukking it up' with Trump at Carter funeral: Report

Melania Trump has claimed that when she and her husband first moved into the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/trumps-inauguration-portrait-is-recreated-version-of-his-2023-mugshot-internet-says-so-8627393">White House</a>, the Obamas withheld information, making the transition more difficult.
As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office on January 20, Melania, 54, is set to return to the White House. However, she believes that this transition will be easier than the first one, mainly because she no longer needs to rely on her predecessors for details about the process.

"The first time was challenging; we didn&rsquo;t have much information," Melania said during an interview with FOX News. "The information was upheld from us by the previous administration. But this time I have everything... it's a very different transition this time, second time around," she added.
When asked directly about her relationship with the outgoing President and First Lady, Melania sidestepped the question. FOX News host had asked, "How have the Bidens been? Have they been accommodating and are they still living there?" to which she replied, "They&rsquo;re still living there and they will be out on January 20. So what happens on January 20, the transition team has only five hours to move the Bidens out and to move us in. So everything needs to be planned to the minute."
