All Four Living Presidents Open Up About Their Feelings on Trump's Border Wall

Last week, President Donald Trump said all four living presidents – Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama – support his push for building a border wall. 

"This should have been done by all the presidents that preceded me, and they all know it," Trump told reporters. "Some of them have told me that we should have done it so, we're not playing games. We have to do it."

According to various reports, however, none of the former presidents had such a conversation with Trump.

The Carter Center took to Twitter to release a statement from the former president about his stance on the border wall, saying very clearly he "does not support" Trump's stance:

“ALL FOUR LIVING PRESIDENTS”
are full of Schiff.

In addition, WON is not even a Constitution quality President and unworthy of an opinion.

Why does the media distort Trump’s statement? He says they should have done the border wall.

As for what those guys say now, IRRELEVANT. Completely. The opioid epidemic was in part caused due to their inaction.

GO TRUMP!

I think Trump should tweet that while Schumer and Pelosi seem to want a United States of North America, he respects Mexico’s sovereignty and will continue to do so by demanding a wall.

OK, I can’t believe Jimma Carter even knows who Trump is. And 3/4 are Democrats, so we’re using them to critique the Republican? Only with this media, this corrupt media.

Jorge Bush and 3 Democrats support him?

They did ... back when it was convenient. Now that somebody (Trump) actually wants to BUILD the wall ... these pusillanimous poltroons are fleeing like suddenly illuminated cockroaches.

It’s not Trump’s wall.

But Trump knows that

Other than Reagan-who I consider the greatest President of my lifetime- Trump is the ONLY one who is saying what I want to say, what I believe and standing up to Democrats. The others are embarassments, no longer relevant, and should shut the hell up before mere tolerance of them becomes rabid hatred!
BTW- how many have illegals living with them(other than as cheap 'help'?

The people who caused the problem are being asked for comment about that guy cleaning up their mess. That’s cute.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama

Empty suits all, they did nothing to advance the cause of freedom. Who gives a rat’s rear end what they think?

Let me get this strait....
Trump said “some of them have told him so”. He didn’t say “All”. He didn’t say that he was president at the time...
We’re to believe Trump’s lying because:
EX-president Bubba Clinton “ I did not have sex with that woman”,
EX-president Barry Soetoro “ If you like your doctor,you can keep your doctor” and Ex President George Bush, who signed the law mandating the construction of the wall and incidentally wasn’t to be believed: “Bush lied, people died”,
WOULDN’T LIE!.

"Jack Posobiec is reporting there is planning to have these guys on TV during the rebuttal saying they don’t support the wall.."

So they were for the wall before they were against the wall?

Against the wall...hmmmm...

This should confirm (at least the three living since Reagan) that there was a plan, if not explicit, to flood the US with low skilled replacements for working class and middle class voters.

Carter doesn't factor into it IMHO.

Classic fake news article. The former Presidents’ statements calling for border security and/or wall have been aired many times.

My sink drips. The last four plumbers who tried to fix it and failed all insist that the new guy I hired won’t get it done. Should I listen to those four plumbers?
