Lip Reader Deciphers Key Moment at Washington Service
Barack Obama nods in agreement as he says, "I can't talk, we have to find a quiet place, sometimes this is a matter of importance and we need to do this outside so that we can deal with it, certainly, today." The two seem to concur.
A body language specialist revealed that the couple seemed to be involved in "gossip" while they were at the service, noting that they appeared "relaxed" around each other.

According to her, "The rather curt 'hi' that passed between Obama and Trump as Obama arrived suggested the body language between the two men might be as frosty as that of the people in the row in front of them, but then Obama unbuttoned his jacket and took his seat and suddenly we saw rituals of what looked like an amicable, relaxed friendship as the two Presidents chatted. Trump's face formed the kind of grin when you're expecting some empathetic laughter or fun and their very long, animated conversations did produce some smiles and laughter."
Obama even seemed to lift one side of his order of service to suggest that they might have been chatting and could have used a shorter screen at one time. It seemed like they got along well and had some common ground, even if it wasn't necessarily political.
