If anything...maybe superior to the current occupant of the Oval Office.

I still think the Jimmy Carter we’ve know is not the real Jimmy Carter...
the one that survived Naval Nuclear officer training during the reign
of Adm. Rickover.
Because the “Jimmy Carter” that served a single term as President
was certainly nobody that could have survived Rickover’s pressure-cooker style.

Navy scuttlebutt has it that Jimmy was stood to attention by ADM Rickover and invited to resign his commission or be court marshaled. He did not leave the Navy because he had to run a peanut farm. I never heard why the admiral extended that invitation.
