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.

Apparently we did... in 1976!
.
Don’t forget the Rabbit!
Just part of Jimmah’s legacy.
No Jimmah, we already had a jerk for President inaugurated in 1977 and don’t want any more.
What does the Rabbit say, Jimmy?
So says President Malaise, who saw 16 percent inflation, 22 percent interest rates, an oil embargo, and 444 days of hostages taken by the Iranians.
Worst. President. Ever.
No Jimmah. It was in 1976 that America wanted a Jerk President. They got their wish.
Hey Jimmuh,
Were you or were you not FIRED by the American people because you were incompetent as President, HMMMMM???
Carter is a rancid peanut.
Already had two, you and 0bama.
“...tell the truth...?
Well, that flew out the window with Clinton.
Funny Mr Carter didn’t say that way back when.
I remember Carter well. It was the first Presidential in which I could vote. I did not vote for him.
In the late 70’s I had a very good construction job. So did my family members and many people I knew.
His 20% interest rates on home loans stopped it absolutely dead. It was devastating.
I remember being in Seattle being allowed to buy three bucks worth of gas every other day.
He was the worst POS I have ever seen in politics. And he spent his years going around the world helping and admiring every POS communist and dictator he could find.
How absolutely disgusting that he would drag his corpse out of the morgue and go on Colbert and bash the best leader I have ever seen. Don’t these miserable old pricks ever take a dirt nap??
No question about it. Carter was the stupidest man ever elected to the Presidency.
He held the tecord for Worst President till obongo
Shut up Jimmy you old Dotard! I served in your command to spite you!!
If that's what it takes to destroy dozens of well entrenched political criminals, AND the D.C. swamp, I'll continue supporting the jerk...
And Trump has still beaten your economy Jimmah.
When I was in radio, back in my 20’s, (1970’s), I actually interviewed Jimmy Carter when he was running for Governor of Georgia.
I was shocked when he was elected as President, because I found him to be rather lackluster, and dull.
But, covering him on the news (locally) during his presidency, I kept up with him fairly closely, and in the end, he’s the main cause of me (and many others) permanently switching to the Republican party.
Have had no use for him since that time.
His status rises to 2nd worst president in a century and he develops an attitude.
Carter has only Obama to thank for his rise in status.
He held the record for Worst President till obongo
