Former President Jimmy Carter took a not-so-subtle jab at President Donald Trump and his supporters Friday on an episode of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, suggesting that Americans who voted for him wanted “a jerk” to be president.
“Does America kind of want a jerk as president?” CBS host Stephen Colbert pressed the former president on the late-night talk show.
“Apparently, from this recent election, yes,” Carter replied. “I never knew it before.”
Colbert then asked Carter what he thought is the most important quality for a president.
“I used to think it was to tell the truth, but I’ve changed my mind lately,” the former president said.
The late-night host asked Carter if he had any political ambitions to run in the 2020 election.
“Is there any chance you’re running in 2020 – because we could use a nice guy in the Oval Office?” Colbert asked.
“I think there’s an age limit,” the 93-year-old former president jokingly replied, after which Colbert presented him with a T-shirt with the words “Carter 2020: Still Constitutionally Eligible.”

Jimmy Carter is why I don’t use Malaise on my sandwich or potato salad...
Jimmy Carter, what’s it to ya?
On the Late Show (Colbert). Colbert, erstwhile “comedian”, now full-time Democrat activist and apologist.
President Trump will preside over idiot Carter’s funeral sometime between now and the end of his second term.
You should know that’s true, Jimmy.
Anything but another wimp like GWB!
Carter, 2 Bushes, Clinto, Obama. What a nightmare lineup. Maga Trump.
Says the second worst, after Bowbama, President of all time!
Hello actuarial tables? Your attention is needed over in Georgia.
They apparently want jerks for hosts of late night TV shows. These clowns are delusional. The format is well past its prime.
You can’t even get a drowning g rabbit to like you, Jimmy.
It’s a race between Jimmy, Herbert, and John. John is out front, but Hillary may beat them all in a surprise finish.
Carter inherited a peanut farm that was running quite well. Carter managed to file bankruptcy 2 times when he had that farm.
I wouldn’t work for him—loan him a dime of investment $$$—or buy anything from him.
He is not that bright.
Yes Jimmy, they elected you.
Jimmah Cahtah is a disgrace.
I know it. He knows it.
Dear Jimmy:
God gave me the answer to you yesterday. I wondered why I suddenly started thinking about you and now I realize that he was preparing me for this posting.
Jimmy:
You could have been a great American President but you are a coward. Intelligence people showed you satellite photos of American POWs in prisoner camps years after the war ended. You looked at them and said that they were not what they were. You were to much of a coward to confront the commies and demand that they release our people. You turned your back on Americans.
The Pope is wrong. There is a hell and you will spend eternity there upon your death.
What an idiot. And that is the nicest thing I can say about Carter.
Picking the worst is hard between Obama, Carter, Johnson, and FDR.
Honorable mention for James Buchanan, the worst before Wilson but improving his position every time another rat is elected.
Obama, by far the worst. He is/was a malevolent piece of sh*t, and everything he did he did intentionally and with malice aforethought.
Carter, well... he was just a f***ing idiot.
Johnson... a nasty POS but still American, at least.
FDR... socialist, elitist, POS.
But OBunghole takes the top spot.
