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 Ive 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 youre running in 2020 because we could use a nice guy in the Oval Office? Colbert asked.
I think theres 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.

Born: October 1, 1924 (age 93)
......Yawn.
Not to worry. This carter jerk is 93. Bye bye, loser?
The Communist in the Cadigan speaks.
I can’t believe how these former presidents slept through 8 years of Obama doing his best to bring America down, and now they all suddenly woke up and have something to say. Where were you when America needed you to step in and say Obama and Hillary are draining the country of money and resources? Were you getting some of the action, too? It seems like they are all in bed together. President Trump is working alone to make America great again. I don’t know how he can stand the swamp.
Ex-presidents never used to insert themselves into contemporary politics with such nasty remarks. Little Jimmy Carter is a pioneer in scumbaggery.
Hilarious that Jimmy “Malaise” Carter wants to preach about what good presidents do. Clueless leftists and entertainers lap it up like a dog does vomit.
Fox needs to do an expose on this idiot to remind this feeble coot that he was the worst until Obama stepped in
And it's driving you crazy, ain't it Jimmy?
Nope, Jimmy. We tried that once, and you really didnt work out.
When he left,
18 percent interest rates.
economy in freefall.
Iranian Embassy hostages for over a year.
And this peanut grower is one stoopid fool.
And back in 1976, they wanted a dumb President. See, we can easily call you names too, Jimmy. See how childish it is? Oh wait, you’re a demo_rat. Never mind. See, more implied name calling. Boy, this is as easy as it was in kindergarten.

Yes, you are correct...
Like Ive said before: Id say the last (only?) RAT POTUS that was decent was James Polk...and thats going back ~175 years.
It goes to show just how utterly bad, detestable, putrid, etc. the RATS are and how long theyve been that way.
...short of an absolute authoritarian in the vein of Andrew Jackson...
Now youre talking my language.
A powerful President in 1948 being elected, such as Gen. Patton...
Who was assassinated.
Boy your nailed Truman right, that’s for sure.
I didn’t run across your A to F ranking of the presidents, but I did find a post where you ranked them by Excellent down to Destructive, with a few Incompletes:

If they didn’t want a jerk for President, they shouldn’t have blacked out Ron Paul for all those years.
He was the peaceful option. They wanted a war. Trump is the not-so-peaceful option. They should understand that if Trump fails to accomplish our required policy objectives, the next will be as much less nice than Trump, as Trump is relative to Ron Paul.
Stellar write-up, DJ; as always, your historical knowledge is seriously impressive.
Did not know Buchanan was a flamer...
Yes, that’s basically what I remembered. I was probably a bit generous with a few, including leaving Truman out of the “destructive” category.
After 8 years of Slick Willy, 8 years of Bath House Barry, and too many years of Hitlery Clinton, I guess Jimmy Crapper has finally endorsed dishonesty as a qualification for the presidency.
