Trump, with wife Melania sat to his left, was seen turning his head and body as he whispered to say something to his predecessor. Obama was then seen chuckling several times as he lowered his head to hear what Trump was saying. He was then seen breaking into a grin.

The exchange has since gone viral on social media - and online users have dubbed them "NFL buddies". Speaking to reporters today at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on Thursday, Trump revealed that he and Obama "got along" as they sat together at the funeral.

Trump added: "I didn't realise how friendly it looked. I said, 'boy, they look like two people that like each other'. And we probably do. "We have a little different philosophies, right? But we probably do. I don't know. "We just got along. But I got along with just about everybody.".

However, Obama did not shake hands with Trump or Melania, despite shaking the hands of the other living presidents. Meanwhile, a forensic lip reader's analysis indicates that Trump and Obama may have discussed matters related to international agreements.
