Former President Jimmy Carter spoke out on the current President in an interview out last night with The New York Times‘ Maureen Dowd.
As Dowd writes, Carter sounded “eager” to work with Donald Trump on North Korea. He said he would even be willing to go there himself:
He said he has talked to Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, Trump’s national security adviser, who is a good friend, including at Zbigniew Brzezinski’s funeral when McMaster asked to sit next to Carter, but has so far gotten a negative response.
“I told him that I was available if they ever need me,” he said.
In fact, there were some illuminating quotes from Carter on issues ranging from Russia––”Carter is also not as bothered as some by Trump’s Putin bromance”––to the Clintons to even NFL players kneeling during the national anthem: “I think they ought to find a different way to object, to demonstrate. I would rather see all the players stand during the American anthem.”
And while Carter does think Trump is “exacerbating” America’s racial divisions, he had this to say about the media coverage of the President:
“I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about,” Carter replied. “I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”
The reason Jimmuh is available is because nobody wants him for anything. His presidency was an epic failure.
Incredible. Even Carter doesn’t agree with the likes of some of the recent leftist propaganda that Trump is crazy. Too bat sh!t crazy for even Carter.
Carter is an old-school hard leftist. But he doesn’t feel compelled to intentionally lie and propagandize like your typical leftist politicians of today. I think Bill Clinton started this current day trend of smooth professional liars. Carter is an honest socialist & believes his BS. There is a difference.
Send Jimmy and tell him to pick up a NORK political poster while he’s there.
The azzhole who gave away the Panama Canal. Traitorous bastard.

I concur with your description of Carter. Basically a pseudointellectual completely overwhelmed with the job of the presidency.
I’ll never forget his sweater chats telling us how horrible everything was. It was like a constant nightmare.
The worst possible president to have in the post Watergate/Vietnam era. The country was in a shambles.
For a high school age kid like me, it was a scary time wondering what the future was going to be.
He set the stage for the “great one” though.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet. Hey, maybe he'll run in 2020, he's got one more term he can serve. ;^)
