President-elect Donald Trump honored former President Jimmy Carter upon hearing of his death at age 100, graciously remembering him as a man who did his best “to improve the lives of all Americans.”
The president-elect honored the now-deceased former president in a post on his Truth Social account Sunday.
“I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History,” Trump wrote. The president-elect then graciously characterized Carter’s tenure,

My husband was a Vietnam Vet, when Carter proclaimed the draft dodgers could come back to the U.S. without charges (we heard it on car radio) my husband hit the gas and I thought we were gonna die. I never could forget that day or that Carter did that. What an insult to all the Vietnam Vets.

Trump is far, far more generous than I could ever be about Carter.

Now Trump can undo one of Jimmy's biggest mistakes by getting the canal zone back.

I most certainly owe a debt of gratitude to Jimmy Carter. His terrible administration made us like a third world nation. As a democrat, I voted for him, but after a few years of misery, I proudly registered as a republican and voted for Ronald Reagan, who soundly defeated Carter. I have not voted for a democrat since that time. Thank you, Jimmy.

Carter was the first and last Dem I ever voted for. Then Reagan came upon the scene and I realized what a president looked and acted like. RIP Jimmy. You were a good person who never should have gone to DC.

47 is correct. W/O Carter we would not have had President Reagan. That's all we can be thankful for the Nuclear Engineer? Carter.

I was stationed in Europe during the Carter years and talk about embarrassing! We had no credibility, just like now. We couldn't wait for Ronald Reagan to take over. Just like we can't wait for a restoration of sanity. Who gives two sh#$@ if the flags are at half staff? It'll be a celebration.

He's far more gracious than I am.
I celebrated the news that the father of modern terrorism is dead.

Trump is just being politically expedient.
What we really owe Carter is contempt for the 45 years of Islamic terrorist attacks which began when he sided with the ayatollahs against the Shah.

If Trump expressed his honest feelings about Carter and what he wrought, it will unnecessarily become a distracting item in these transitional times. This is the new and changed Trump speaking.

The last thing Trump needs now is to bad mouth Jimmy Carter and it costs nothing to be nice.
Carter was a nice guy, and the last thing we need as President is a nice guy.
Carter proved that.

"Andante con ping pong" was Bob Tyrrell's apt description of Carter's odd speaking cadence. SNL's first Not Ready for Prime Time crew gently made fun of Carter--Dan Aykrord did a funny impression of Carter--having him say, "I have worn women's clothing. And I look good in them." But his Secret Service detail, who knew him intimately, utterly despised him, and considered him a phony, disrespectful and dismissing of his Secret Service detail. Inadvertently, due to incompetence, Carter guided America to Reagan. Voters had had enough, too.

I served under Carter--he was the absolute worst (till Biden). I don't want to denigrate the dead, but it's getting a bit deep.

His handling of the Iran problem led directly to the problems we're still having with them.
He was a horrible president and a horrible human being.The Habitat thing was all for show.

The Aytollah Kohmeni, continued terrorism in the Middle East, long Gas lines, the beginnings of the climate fraud...
The only thing I laud him for is Habitat for Humanity, and I wonder how many of those homes still house their original occupants? He nearly destroyed the military...
I also recall his maps of the middle east where he erased Israel.
No Don... I don't owe him a thing.

Remember, Trump was a democrat. His perspective of JC in the past is different than ours.

Grace. President Trump shows grace. That's what the situation requires. It's the way members of the exclusive former-presidents clubs act.... or in a few cases, SHOULD act.
