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.

Remember wearing your coat indoors? Good times.

I was a single Airman living in the barracks at Wichita, KS. Carter's orders to have the AC or heat shut down at the end of the business day was applied to the barracks on base. Since someone at the Pentagon thought everybody worked during the day the AC was permanently turned off in all the barracks so during the summer in Kansas my brick barracks would reach about 115 degrees during the day and then cool off to a chilly 95 or so at night. Anyone caught with their room window open was to be issued an Article 15.

Since I pulled 24 hour Alerts down in the Titan II complexes I would arrive in my room around noon after an Alert and have to try to sleep in that heat. When I asked my girlfriend (now my wife of almost 37 years) to marry me we decided to "live in sin" and we moved to an apartment off base where we could actually have a life with AC.

The idiots actually tried to order us to turn off the air cooling equipment on the Titan II complexes. The missile was liquid-fueled and had to be kept around 60 degrees so the fuel and oxidizer didn't started to boil and destroy the missile. SAC told the Pentagon to pound sand on that one so we at least were able to keep our ICBMs on alert.

1. Created Deep State Central: The Senior Executive Service [SES] - to which most of the coup plotters are/were in.

2. Coerced France into effectively allowing the Ayatollah to depose the Shah.

Jimmy, thanks for reminding me. I now have one more thing to add to my list of blessings for which I am thankful.

Which policies would you change, President Carter?

Bringing back manufacturing?

Rebuilding our military?

Cracking down on human traffickers?

Which of these policies do you disagree with?

I think even God thanks God that Jimmy won’t ever be President....(can’t say “again” because it would infer a falsehood)

My dislike for Carter is personal.

He ordered the end of the 82nd Airborne (and all airborne units) wearing our traditional maroon beret, his thinking that it hurt the morale of the legs for us to look like we were better than they were.

(we were) (no offense ) ( 8^) )

He is just feeling good now that he is no longer the worst President in history.
