Carter did not meet a tin-pot commie dictator he didn’t love
He gave th canal to Torijos, he stabbed Augusto Pinochet in Chile in the back, he backed the Sandinistas when they overthrew Somoza in Nicaragua. He allowed Castro to carry out the Mariel boat lift, in which Castro sent us the USA every prisoner and criminal in Cuba. He and Andrew Young destroyed Rhodesia and paved the way for Mugabe to take over and form Rhodesia. He threatened troop withdrawals from Korea because he couldn’t manipulate Park Chung Hee, to the point where Japan, South Korea and Taiwan had to complain and warn the US about an invasion from North Korea.
Don’t forget that he withdrew support for Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi (the Shah of Iran), opening the door for what the world has had to endure for the the last 40 years.

Well, okay, he did do all that... but then he pretended to build a few houses and give them away with cameras rolling. That makes everything okay.
