Contributing sentiments towards policy:

88% : "Mullin had been asked to offer speculation about the interactions right when he joined, as he also talked about how Trump had met with Republican senators earlier that week, was "having a lot of fun" and reflected "a redemption story" and "the greatest political comeback of all times.""What you see right there," Mullin offered, as the screen showed Obama laughing while speaking to Trump, "is Barack Obama realizing it and realizing that he kinda probably should kiss the ring because President Trump is the most popular man in the world and probably the most popular man in our lifetime around the world, and everybody recognizes that now, and the president, President Trump, is sitting in a good spot and he's very relaxed.
82% : Shortly before speaking with Mullin, Johnson offered that Trump being at the funeral and his interactions were "an opportunity for like the king, in old times, to show mercy to his subjects," which he stressed is "great" and "a beautiful practice in living out your values.
47% : As we know now, after the election, with Trump having trounced Harris, Biden still claims he could have won, even though he doesn't know if he would have had the vigor to serve another four years.
38% : Regarding interactions between Obama and Trump, Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) offered during an appearance of "The Benny Show" with Benny Johnson that Obama had to "kiss the ring.
8% : As Townhall has been covering, there was plenty of drama at the funeral, with Biden appearing to use Carter's death to insult Trump with rants about "decency," just as he did when news first came out about the former president's death.
