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:

Hsit like this is why Trump got elected.

Peanut can go hang around at a construction site and try to look like he's doing something, Klinton can go trolling for 20something young women like back in the good old days, Dubya can go down to Paraguay or wherever he owns all that land and not come back for all one cares, and that other guy can frankly just go... well, you know.

"One President at a time, guys."

Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Obama’s opposition to a border wall is all the more reason to support it.

What they say and what they believe are two seperate things. When they were in the seat, or chasing it, boarder security was essential. But we all know that was just to appease the minions.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.

Thank the Lord that President Trump is not doing what his predecessors did before him, but is taking a different course of action!

“Bush lied, people died”,

That is a horrible lie right there. I have been to Iraq, many of their people thought they had those weapons and every single intelligence agency in the world thought Saddam had them too. The only reason Saddam didn't have them is because his own scientists were lying to him. Saddam had the missiles to deliver and the warheads to hold the packages, but the scientists had not actually made them.

Bush did not lie, we just did not know.

President Trump is the first REAL President since Reagan. All the others were place holders.

They were all for moving our embassy to Jerusalem, but none of them did it. Meanwhile, it wasn’t a campaign issue, yet look what Trump actually did.

Like all presidents (and all men), ignore what he says and watch what he actually does. That is where the truth is found.

Trump is right. Just 10 years ago 80 Senators supported a WALL.

These days, the living ex presidents are nothing more than what is wrong with our country. I have very little respect for them.

I was there as well, and from what I remember, there were many truck convoys out of Iraq to Syria just before the Gulf war that we speculated were his WMD going into hiding...
