Jimmy Carter Attacks Donald Trump's Character Amid Calls for Impeachment: 'He's a Disaster'
People Magazine ^ | August 22, 2018 | Maura Hohman

The retired peanut farmer, 93, has been less vocal than other former commanders in chief about the goings-on in the White House, but in a recent interview with The Washington Post, Carter seared Trump’s policies and character.

“I think he’s a disaster … In human rights and in treating people equal,” the 39th president said before his wife, former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, 91, jumped in. “The worst is that he is not telling the truth, and that just hurts everything,” she added.

Cohen implicated Trump in a federal crime when the lawyer admitted to a federal judge that, at Trump’s direction, he made payments to two women who claimed they had affairs with Trump “for the purpose of influencing the election.” (Trump has denied the affairs with porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal.)

Carter told the Post he prizes honesty in part because when he attended the U.S. Naval Academy, students were expelled for telling even the smallest lie. And in Carter’s eyes, Trump’s relationship with the truth does not hold up. “I think there’s been an attitude of ignorance toward the truth by President Trump,” Carter said....

Every Dictators’ Favorite Toilet Brush can’t keep his pie hole shut. His brother Billy would have made a better president...smarter, too.


Very clever! Clearly you are on a roll—best post on thread ;)

I wonder if it's ever occurred to this stupid old bastard that if anyone were interested in anything he had to say he would have been reelected?

“I think he’s a disaster … In human rights and in treating people equal,” - said Carter.

Jimmy Carter’s home church, the Plains Baptist Church, voted to ban blacks from joining.

Carter did not quit.

Carter is concerned about character in the WH? What about Clinton’s actions in the Oval Office? Or JFK’s whoring around while President? Or LBJ and FDR?

Trump’s alleged peccadilloes took place over 10 years ago as a private citizen.

This is precious, coming from Jimmy Carter, unarguably indeed the worst president of the US.

Jimmie: Just. Go. Away.

We are still paying the price for your idiotic Iran policies. STFU, already.

If just standing next to Putin constitutes treason for Trump (as Blockhead Brennan claimed), what does that make Carter, shown here smooching with Brezhnev?

Actually, Jimmy Carter was a disaster as a president. Almost as bad as Obama. The only good thing about Carter is he ushered in Reagan, just as Obama ushered in Trump.

Best election, best POTUS, evah!
