WASHINGTON, DC: Vice President Kamala Harris was trolled online after she shared a photograph from Jimmy Carter's funeral with President-elect Donald Trump cropped out of the frame.

The somber photograph showed Harris, President Joe Biden, and former presidents Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama placing their hands over their hearts at the ceremony, reported USA Today. However, Trump, who was standing beside Obama, had been cropped out of it.

Donald Trump took his trolling game to the next level, and this time, Kamala Harris and even Hillary Clinton felt the heat. He dropped a hilarious parody video on Instagram, which was a cheeky take on a viral moment of him chatting with Barack Obama during Jimmy Carter’s funeral.

It all started on January 9, at the National Cathedral, where the two former presidents were seen having what looked like a surprisingly friendly chat before the service.

Speculation was rife about what Trump and Obama could be discussing. Amid all of this, Trump decided to give fans his version of it, reported the New York Post.

In the spoof video, fake audio was dubbed over the real clip. "I knew you’d win," Obama said as he sat down next to Trump in the dubbed. "Oh really? Come on. Anyone could beat her," Trump replied.
