FULL TITLE: Trump slams 'terrible' Jimmy Carter as 'forgotten president' after suggestion 2016 win was 'illegitimate'

President Trump fired back at former President Jimmy Carter’s suggestion that he’s illegitimate president, saying Carter is “the forgotten president” who’s not only “trashed” by his own party but also remembered only as being “terrible” for the country.

Trump addressed the comments made by Carter during a news conference Saturday following the G-20 summit in Japan, saying that although Carter is “a nice man, he was a terrible president,” before noting that “he’s a Democrat and it’s a typical talking point.”

He added that Carter is “loyal to the Democrats” but “as everybody now understands, I won not because of Russia, not because of anybody but myself.”

Carter said Friday at a Virginia forum that “I think a full investigation would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016.”

“He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf," he added. When asked if Trump was “illegitimate president,” Carter responded saying “Basically, what I just said, which I can’t retract.”

During the 2016 campaign season, I seem to recall the Democrats making big hoopla over how important it was for everyone to accept the outcome of the election. Not doing so would cause a Constitutional crisis and it would be an assault to representative government. They asked all of the candidates to pledge to accept the outcome. Then, they did not accept the outcome.

Yeah, here is an example:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/10/19/donald-trump-election-results-reaction/92445068/

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi in a statement after the debate said that “just when you think you have seen it all from Donald Trump, he stoops to a new low with his contempt for the sanctity of our elections.”

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid tweeted that Trump must “immediately reverse course and say he will accept the results.”

The Republicants were saying the same thing.

Ford was a serious Rino and came from the swamp as it was in his day. Carter was the outsider, change candidate.

I remember going across the TN River to buy gas and odd/even tag numbers. He was an awful President.

The Russians fomented the Iranian student revolution — which resulted in US embassy staff being taken hostage — because they knew Carter couldn’t fart and chew gum at the same time, and he would be too flummoxed with developments in Tehran to be able to mount an effective response to their invasion of Afghanistan.

But Carter made the embassy takeover all the easier with Executive Order 12036, which all but outright banned human intelligence gathering (HUMINT, AKA “spying”). Because he, like Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson before him, wrongheadedly believed that “Gentlemen don’t open other gentlemen’s mail.” He considered “spying” to be a base and unseemly pursuit. And he ASSuMEd that the new technology of overhead surveillance (spy satellites) could tell us everything we’d need to know. He even became the first government official to formally admit we had spy satellites, openly bragging about them in a re-election campaign speech in 1980.

Except that satellites couldn’t be expected to see the “student revolt” coming, and because of his own EO 12036, the US was too thin on human assets on the ground in Tehran to feel it coming. Once the embassy was sized, the US had exactly this many human intelligence assets left alive and at liberty in Iran: 0.

Carter simply fell into a dung heap of his own making. As a result, the US was humiliated on the international stage and 52 American diplomats were held hostage for 444 days.

Not coincidentally, the 52 hostages were released the same day as President Ronald Wilson Reagan was inaugurated. And Ronaldus Magnus erased the worst of the stupidity in EO 12036 with his own EO 12333, which gave the intel community the power to heal itself but it would take decades to replace the human assets that were squandered under Carter.

Trump should remind Jimmy that the only reason he is no longer regarded the worst President is because Obama came along.

I remember Jimmy Crater from my childhood. I used to tell people he was easily the worst president in my lifetime - and he was. Then came Obama.

LBJ was a vile man, who should have never been President. I am still left wondering if he had some involvement in JFK’s death, but he was certainly a beneficiary of that event.
Whaf amazes me is this country actually re-elected this crooked turd to the Presidency for a stand alone term, proving beyond all doubt that most of America doesn’t have the intellect to remove a bent dime from a Coke Machine. And the unfortunate fact is that today Americans are worse than they were in the 1960’s at figuring out who to vote for.

Carter “says” but Trump “slams”. No bias, right?
