44% : The affair Thursday follows several exchanges between Obama and Trump that have garnered headlines in recent years.
32% : The exchange with Trump wasn't the only time on Thursday Obama had a friendly run-in with a former foe.
28% : " Trump gained attention years before he even ran for president for questioning the validity of Obama's birth certificate.
26% : What's he doing?" Roger Stone, a former Trump adviser, said in 2016 that he thought the moment goaded Trump to run for president and seek revenge.
18% : The incident occurred as Trump and Obama sat beside each other during the funeral proceedings for former President Jimmy Carter at the Washington National Cathedral.
13% : [furious] after seeing Obama talking with Trump," another user wrote in response to footage showing Harris pressing her lips together and seemingly heaving a sigh as she observed Obama's amiable chat with her former rival.
8% : After Trump launched his bid for his first term in office in 2015, Obama, then-president, mocked his chances of ever assuming the nation's office.

7% : Obama, meanwhile, has raised eyebrows for calling Trump everything from a "fascist" to a "wannabe king" and breaking historical precedent with his harsh criticism of the Republican politician during the 2020 Democratic National Convention.
6% : Trump also made headlines in 2017 for accusing Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower.
2% : The incident, which occurred on a late-night comedy show, went viral after Trump went on to win the presidency not once but twice. Mocking a post in 2016 in which Trump called him "perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States," Obama responded, "At least I will go down as a president," and dropped his mic for dramatic emphasis.
