The former president and once-again-future president, who are historically something less than besties, chatted it up before the service began. (Michelle Obama was not in attendance.)

The two men were seated next to each other at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., talking before Carter’s funeral officially started. Trump leaned in to say something to Obama, who listened before laughing and smiling as Trump continued to speak into Obama’s ear.

Michelle Obama wasn't among the mourners attending former President Carter's funeral service in Washington, but she says she's thinking of and praying for "everyone who loved and learned" from the late commander in chief.
