MacCallum had this to say on the Trump-Obama exchange at Jimmy Carter’s funeral:

“I was so fascinated watching this… One of the things that we know about President elect Trump, he loves to talk like having people over and talking and getting on the phone and having meetings… he would have a level of respect, I expect, for Obama.. I think he would appreciate the moment to sort of pick his brain and have a chat with. And they both seem to be enjoying talking to each other and they you know what? They have something to offer each other.”
