Donald Trump reportedly buddied up to Barack Obama at Jimmy Carter's funeral, desperately pitching a plan for him to play at his golf courses.
According to a bombshell new book obtained by Axios, Trump spent Carter's solemn memorial service in January "enticing" Obama with descriptions of his courses worldwide, and begging his predecessor for an afternoon round. The conversation happened as the pair sat side by side.
The book, "2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America" by Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arndorf, also reveals fresh details of Trump's post-election call with Kamala Harris, where he joked about phone service issues before telling his rival: "You're a tough cookie."

The Daily Beast reported that he tore down Obama's White House portrait, attacked Obama's library and shared QAnon conspiracy memes targeting his predecessor.
The feud escalated through summer, with Obama expertly trolling Trump over crowd sizes and mocking his Fourth of July narcissism.
