Carter's Funeral Shows The Divide Between Trump And All The Rest

LOADING ERROR LOADING WASHINGTON ― The current and former living U.S. presidents said goodbye to Jimmy Carter on Thursday, and in the process once again highlighted the contrast between former and soon-to-be President Donald Trump and all the others. Trump has, over the years, insulted in personal terms both Carter and all the remaining living presidents individually as well as collectively, calling them “stupid people” who struck trade agreements and treaties that Trump opposes. “I thought to myself, Jimmy Carter is happy now because he will go down as being a brilliant president by comparison to Joe Biden,” Trump said. Stuart Eizenstat, Carter’s domestic affairs adviser, said the late president deserves far more credit than he has received over the years, rather than scorn for having lost after a single term to Republican Ronald Reagan.
