Overview

  • Excerpts from “2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America” confirm Trump invited Obama to play golf at one of his 15 courses worldwide during Jimmy Carter’s funeral.
  • Forensic lip‐reading and the book detail Trump urging Obama to “find a quiet place” after the service to discuss a “matter of importance.”
  • It remains unclear whether Obama accepted the golf invitation or agreed to the proposed private meeting.
  • Photographs of the two laughing side by side at Washington National Cathedral underscored a stark contrast with their decades-long public feud.
  • The book by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf offers the first on-the-record account of the off-the-record exchange.
