I’m but 63 and I’m not sure I could handle it either.
I think he was 53 when he became president. Couldn’t handle it at that age either.
He couldn’t have done it at 40.
Truly the dumbest President in modern times.
....hiding behind Christianity....just like a particular Mayor from Indiana.
You didn’t manage the Presidency at whatever your age was in 1976.
Of all ex-presidents to cast aspersions.
Jimmy Carter remains the ‘Most unfavorite’ ex president for many people of either party. I guess he wanted to throw his two cents in there to say Joe Biden is too old for the job.
Thanks for your input, Mr. President. Now git!
He couldn’t manage when he was much younger and was president.
In the meantime you old nut,you should give back your Nobel peace prize for making “peace” on the Korean peninsula.
He couldnt manage in it 1975.
Jimmy Carter couldn’t handle it when he was in his 50s.
Obama couldn’t do it at half that age.
Clearly there was no age at which Jimmy Carter could manage the presidency.

What Jimmy Carter claimed to be was a “nuclear enginer in the Navy”, not a physicist. so here’s my answer to your corrected question, Milt.
NO!!!
Not even close.
Jimmy Carter served on diesel powered submarines and eventually became a student of the Navy’s six-month Nuclear Power School, a book-based course on the operation of nuclear reactors. While there he was released from the Navy due to hardship (death of his father).
Now compare that to my path through the nuclear submarine Navy. After commissioning I became a student of the Navy’s six-month Nuclear Power School. But I did not get releas...(more)
Actually he had a bit more Nuclear experience than you indicate and yes he served on Submarines. ...

No, Jimmy Carter is unqualified to design any part of a reactor, and is not a nuclear engineer.
Nuclear engineering is a real baccalaureate program. Carter was an early entrant into the nuclear submarine program, after beginning his career on diesel-electric submarines. Carter started at Georgia Tech, and did eventually get go to the Naval Academy. He graduated with a bachelor of science degree, but not in engineering, and certainly not nuclear engineering, a degree still not offered by the US Naval Academy.
He trained to oversee the operation of nuclear reactors. This is a stringent qualification. Many fail. However, it is not meant to support the design of any part of a reactor or engineering system. This curriculum is to train a person to safely operate a nuclear reactor, even under casualties. The decisions are relatively rote. Critical thinking and analysis are frowned upon.
Engineers design. They think. Good ones are artistic. None of this comes from being a reactor operator, but some reactor operators (enlisted and the “in charge” officers) are creative, just like many other non-creative jobs.
Jimmy Carter is completely unqualified to design any part of a reactor, and is not a nuclear engineer.
Trump is a machine. I’m nearly 60 and get burned out when my weeks get over 60 hours. He does at least 60 hours every three days lol.
This may be obvious to everyone who lived through the Carter administration but Jimmy Carter wasn’t able to handle the presidency when he was in his early fifties.
Where to begin...
or 53.
or 54.
or...
He didnt manage it when he was president. Why would anyone think he could,do it at 80?
Well yeah, he couldn’t handle it at the age when he was President, 53 to 56.
My house was built in 1978 using 100 percent American stuff and labor.
Jimmy should stick to housing and peanuts.
Jimmy, you couldn’t manage it at whatever age you were when you were in office.
