The inauguration of President Donald Trump was a significant event that drew notable figures such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, George W. Bush alongside his wife Laura, and Barack Obama, who attended solo.
George W. Bush’s Light-Hearted Inauguration Moments
Among the distinguished attendees, former President George W. Bush caught the spotlight with his affable antics, which his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, humorously cautioned him about on the Today Show.
During a lively segment, Jenna shared with her colleagues a clip of her father at the inauguration, which has become a viral sensation.
“He gets attention for just being himself; he didn’t actually do anything!” Jenna chuckled as she recalled the hilarious moment of Bush displaying his playful eyebrow rise. “That’s just his natural expression.”
As she shared more about the hilarious family group chat buzzing around this moment, Hager joked about another key player.
While mentioning that her father wasn’t the only one at play, Jenna teased that he “was also seated next to a bad influence,” with Obama being the jovial target of this jest.
Of course, this was all in good fun, emphasizing the camaraderie and light-hearted rapport shared between the two former presidents.
“Watch what former President Barack Obama had to say,” Jenna introduced before a clip of Obama and Bush’s candid exchange was shown. “They tend to bring out this delightful side in each other whenever they meet,” Jenna observed.

As Obama and Bush made their way to the Capitol Rotunda, a humorous exchange took place:
Earlier, Jackie G, renowned for her lip-reading skills, took to Instagram to share what she discerned from Bush and Obama’s playful chat during the inauguration.
According to Jackie, Obama greeted Bush warmly saying, “Good to see you,” followed by a quirky addition: “How can we stop what’s happening?”
Jackie G, a favorite among many for her lip-reading ability, posted this interpretation, though with a light-hearted disclaimer: “Lip reading isn’t a foolproof form of understanding, all dialogue inferred.” She captioned, “Obama’s playful antics on the loose.”
The explosion of tweets and social media chatter around this playful interaction underscores the genuine connection and shared sense of humor between Obama and Bush, drawing a smile to many faces.
