Jimmy Carter Says He Would ‘Change Every Trump Policy’ If He Could Be President Again
The Inquisitr ^ | September 13, 2018 | Nathan Francis

Former President Jimmy Carter isn’t holding back in his assessment of Donald Trump, saying this week that if he could somehow become president again he would reverse all the policies Trump has put in place since taking office.

Carter made the remark at Emory University, where he speaks each year to incoming students. The 93-year-old former president said he prays for Donald Trump regularly, though it didn’t appear to be working as Trump would “have to change a lot of things” if his prayers were answered.

If he had the chance, Carter said he would make the changes himself.

“If I were foolish enough to feel I could be president again, I think the first thing I would do would be to change all of the policies that President Trump has initiated,” Carter said (via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution).

Though former presidents have generally refrained from publicly criticizing those who currently occupy the office, a number have now made exceptions for Donald Trump. Former president Barack Obama has been active on the campaign trail in recent weeks, trying to energize Democrats for the critical midterm elections this fall. In doing so, Obama has offered some of his sharpest criticisms of President Trump.

Even President George W. Bush has spoken out against a number of Trump’s policies, though not criticizing Trump directly.

Jimmy Carter has also been relaying some advice to Democrats as they look to retake the House and Senate from Republicans, warning them away from drifting too far to the left and risking alienating independent voters.

“Independents need to know they can invest their vote in the Democratic Party,” Carter said on Tuesday (via The Associated Press).

This is not the first time that Jimmy Carter has taken aim at Donald Trump in recent weeks. Back in August, he attacked both Trump’s policies and his character amid the growing revelations of Trump’s hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet their alleged affair.

“I think he’s a disaster … In human rights and in treating people equal,” Carter told The Washington Post.

The remarks from Jimmy Carter came just after a federal indictment for Donald Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, for hush money payments to two women who claimed to have affairs with Trump. Donald Trump himself was named in Cohen’s court documents as a co-conspirator in the plan to pay the women, which amounted to a campaign finance violation.

Seriously; it’s time for a divorce. There’s no way the left and normals are ever going to get along so let’s make it official and get that divorce over with. Figure out what states all leftists can live in and get them to move there. Normals will have a choice of staying or going in those states but what normal would want to live among them.

Maybe we can work something out with Mexico and Canada to accept a certain number as well.

Raise taxes,start nuclear war with Russia, double the size of the EPA, sign up for global climate change and grant the ICC enforcement authority over climate change deniers, open boarders, pro paedophilia and human trafficking. Let’s see. Any other stupid Trump policies we need to reverse.

Carter was the worst president in my lifetime

1. credit card size mortgage rates
2. Iran Hostages
3. Boycotting Olympics
4. Oil crisis - rationing gas waiting for hours for gas on even or odd license plate days

Carter was the first president to propose amnesty for illegals ("permanent resident alien status" with a path to citizenship).

Reagan was the second.

What is the point of a 93 year old FAILED ex-president making comments like this—other than proof of his advancd dementia?

It’s a tie betwee Jimmuh and Mr Chewbacca re: who is the WORST president of all time.

What a shame. He’s only 93 and already has dementia.

Hey, Jimmuh, don’t you have an Ayatollah somewhere to give a Lewinsky to?

There’s a good chance he’s reading a report I wrote. Twice a day I sent a report to the White House from Korea.

My dad got a job working for Chrysler just before Carter came in to office.

Best pay and benefits he had ever had.

Two years in to Carter administration the Chrysler plant closed and he was on unemployment for over a year.

Yeah Jimmy, I am glad you can’t be president again and I wish Momma had kept you down on the farm.

It’s kind of reassuring that the two most incompetent presidents in history would do exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing.

We know that, Jimmy. If you were President again, we’d be headed for another recession and an endless amount of malaise.

We already made the mistake of having you as President once!!! Considering the economic slump, the gas lines, the double digit interest rates, I would say that we will NEVER make that mistake again!!!! Hopefully!

He would also do the same with Reagan policies and the USSR would still oppress millions of people. America would be degraded to a 3rd world country after decades of economic decline...

Of course he would. He’s a democrat. Proves democrats don’t want tax cuts.
