    1. I hope they canonize him as St. Jimmy. Patron saint of bad presidents and nice people. πŸ˜‰

    1. @Gregg Mackie Ummm….I’m not gay. Trump is indeed a racist. Just like Morgan, you’ve just lost the debate. Well done!

    2. @Morgan Stevens Very clever! (Not)…..Actually, I’m a born and raised American. A decorated combat Veteran of two β€œvisits” to Vietnam. You? (You stooped to that level again.)

  1. After his presidency he led a life of helping countries and people. This is how a former president should act. He such a great man!

    1. @Construimus Batuimus its an opinion Mr. Thought Police. You have no control over my thoughts Adolf, deal with it.

  2. I have “Always” said that President Carter created several legacies with complete humility πŸ™ Let us not forget “Habitat for Humanity” ❀️ Never straying in his words on Christian beliefs πŸ™

  3. Jimmy Carter was more than a president. He was a force and continues a force for good. He will remember as one of the greatest Americans. So much love to you Sir from the Caribbean and the continent of Africa.

    1. @Yves Derival his success as a post presidency humanitarian has no bearing on his legacy of being the worst president ever.

    2. @Morgan Stevens you are damn right. His legacy goes beyond the presidency. His creation of Habitat for humanity was a dream from heaven.

  4. Mr. Carter Sir, you not only served our country as President but you also went on to lead by example what the true meaning of humanity and compassion are. You have given of yourself to others selflessly and been a huge blessing to many. May God bless you and keep you always. πŸ™

    1. @Al Jay …. He’s obviously a better human being than you and will be rewarded greatly when he walks through the gates of Heaven.

  5. From an unknown peanut farmer to the Presidency…a great humanitarian….as my Granny would say ” he has gotten &s row done” and it took time to go home. Thank President and Mrs.Carter…for showing the world there is hope for humanity through good deeds. Excellent example of charity starts at home then spreads abroad.

  6. Jimmy Carter such a god sent he also went to Guyana to make sure elections was not tampering going without his help our country would be worse today thank you Sir Carter for doing this for all these countries and God bless you you did a lot for your country and also other countries you are a messager from god we love you every country you helped us doing better now from your help love from Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸŒΊβ€οΈ

  7. Former President Jimmy Carter renewed our faith in what it means to be “our brother’s keeper.” No one, no matter how strong you believe you are, can do it alone. We don’t have to do “great things” like Carter but just kindness to the store cashier, checking out your groceries, listening to a distressed person, and having empathy for those who are poor. Kindness matters. There’s no excuse for the cruelty, hatred, and apathy towards others we’re seeing today. Former President Carter is one person who made his mark on the world. We appreciate his service to our country and to the world. He built up instead of tearing down. This shouldn’t be the kinda world we leave our children. I want better for children everywhere.

  8. Jimmy Carter (along with his wife Rosalynn) is a blessing as a former president and his/their humanitarian work. Thank you both for your continued work for the people.

  9. Guinea Worm has been eradicating because of former President Carter. What an incredible achievement. I pray he’s not suffering and passes peacefully. I know I will cry my eyes out when it does happen.
