Jimmy Carter: 'The White House Is Trying To Stonewall' | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Love you, President Carter. Wish you well, Sir.
@GeorgeJones not as cool as this fake news one though.
Jimmy Carter wonderful president America you’re still being helping people everywhere for that you are generous and kind this is what America is
I love him too
Trump is a cornered rat
He will say or do ANYTHING to try to save Himself.
As the end of this calamity draws near, I suspect crooked donny will skip out to Eastern Europe. And I’m sure Putin is pleased, as are the USA hating, southern confederates
@truerealityscott he will also take all the campaign money with him
Trumps deflection playbook….play #1 blame Obama…play#2 blame either of the Clintons….play#3 is blame the Bidens…
Well I do agree with you, but thats really insulting rats, to compare them to Trump 😂
Spot On….
I wanna hear what George Bush thinks if we should impeach Trump.
That would be a very interesting interview. Good call
Whether or not he wants him impeached is one thing, but I do know there is no love between them. GWB has come out against Trump before. He’s too busy painting weird oil portraits to be bothered with politics right now. 😂
They would put a noose around his neck and drag him behind a pickup. He is after all, a New York City grifter
@j wallace Yep. And he also actually works out by clearing brush, chopping wood, jogging and more on his ranch. He may have not have been the best president out there, but he knows how to stay in shape unlike Mr. Fast Food spread President Trump. Obama works out too staying in shape and Slick Willy exercises in a different way 😛
Any of our recent past presidents stand in sharp contrast to Trump. The bar has been lowered so much for Trump. The sexism, the cursing, the unilateral decisions on war would never have been put up with or attempted by past presidents.
The ONE president that wasn’t a complete monster.
@Trumpocalypse Relative to most of the rest of the world, you mean.
@KingDT2007 slavery is by definition literally the most repressive system possible
@Vicara Vitakka Nah, he’s right. Lincoln was not the Great Emancipator, he was a guy that needed to preserve the Union at any cost. If he could have done that and not freed the slaves, he would have. He had a low moral opinion of black people and did think whites were better. Just because he freed the slaves doesn’t mean he respected them.
The last distinguished man who became president.
He’s a tough ol’ bird!
@truerealityscott above all, honest. A rare and sadly disparaged virtue.
@Holly G truth. He even prays for the soul of the Orange Dagon.
@truerealityscott his presidency was a disaster
@Troy Stocker but certainly not the worst in American history.
And a dumb old bird!
I’d vote for Carter right now.
@Dana Herron Both are very honest. Especially Carter
He is also a true Christian which explains why the Trump supporting Christo-fascists hate him.
@LUIS VELEZ no Reagan while I disagreed sometimes on policy, he had successes, and said Mr Gorbachev tear down this wall. Where as Trump builds stupid walls and is owned by Russia.
The nation mourned when Reagan died, and we will celebrate when TRUMP bites the dust. One big party!!!
A real President. I almost forgot we had them. A human being as a POTUS imagine that.
@Arthur Schnapka I don’t know if Trump is the devil but Trump is not able to do the job of POTUS. Trump is a failed president.
I would vote for him if he decided to run.
Don’t be so sure. He also played “JFK”.
no need to “imagine”. vote for Bernie and put another human being into office.
@Arthur Schnapka 🔥 👹 🔥 let’s not forget he’s also one of Epsteins friends and a baby raper
This guy has more on the ball than THAT guy.
@John David Wolf LMAO. Thank you for that “proper” clarification!
I used to work with a guy who could cuss you out with proper terms & have you rolling on the floor. T’is an artform.
SpecialSP…u must be talking about Obama and his manly wife….
What a man! The dude is 95 years old, but is fresh and awake like a 30 year old. And he articulates way better than the current president 🙂
@snoop alert Yup, I got it snoop. Should check before I hit SEND.
@Mind Freshener What a class act you must be!
@Troy Stocker That’s your opinion, not a fact!
Some may argue about how good a president he was, but no one can argue about how great a human being he is.
So very true.
Happy Peace: Agreed. Donald McRonald has never been interested in being “President” for the whole country, just certain factions.
The fact that there was not one criticism in this thread of him for just being a Democrat speaks volumes.
@John David Wolf made me happy in these unhappy times.
Nice to here somebody who loves America and the laws. You mr. President are apppreated. Terri
Jimmy Carter has literally done more for the country after being president, than the last 30 years worth of republican presidents have done while being in office.
@Mainely Hats off to those who made their own decision and up yours to those who would judge the actions of others involving an unjust and pathetic war. Easy to do by the uninformed and disrespectful.
@Richard Carpenter One was elected. The other are for profit.
@Shadow little donny and ivanka are no match for billy carter and his beer swilling cohorts….thats what you call REAL family.
What did he do for the country as president ?
Speedy Recovery Jimmy.. Its good to hear the voice of someone who was Presidential and honored the Constitution.
notsac44 Like it or not, you’re bound by the same Constitution as the rest of us.
Jimmy Carter was one of the worst presidents of all time, probably in modern history. I like the man, but to take his commentary seriously on a political basis…..nah.
Jay Reisnek Carter is probably happy that Trump is now, hands down, the worst President EVER!
@Jay Reisnek not a very good president in terms of getting the economy moving but as a human being compared to the scum we have now he was a saint.
I have always loved President Jimmy Carter…
He was ahead of his time! An honorable man.
@Chatty Cathy yes… and compassionate as well. He is so humble and honest…
My grandmother met him in the 80s and said he was so kind and considerate to everyone who went to meet him. She said he shook every hand and took time to speak to each person who wanted to meet him or take a photo. He is a true gentleman and decent human being. God bless that man. 95 and still doing public service. That’s a hero to me.
@Amber Ellis thank you for telling us!!
@Amber EllisYes..a real gentleman 🙂🙂🙂
They don’t make them like that anymore.
Thank God, a jerry’s kid could outperform that decrepit nimrod! 😆
Such a lovely lovely man. Our hero and national treasure. Hard to believe he’s still building homes and providing opportunities for poor people to thrive. God bless him and keep him healthy and strong.
Jimmy Carter doing an interview from a Habitat jobsite just a few days after falling and getting fourteen stitches. He’s ninety five.
Real president.
Power corrupts Salute to this man.
Such an underrated president.
But the Republican backlash against this very good man –and revenge for Nixon– was Ronald Reagan, Bush 41 and the permission for the MANY continuing corruptions that grew.
@michelle stein-evers frankl Yep… remember the “Boggie Man”? Ironically, died of a brain tumor… Reagan with dementia….and yet here he is… 95 and living his life to the fullest. Ain’t that something.
When you examine his presidency, and what he wanted to do as president, you realize he was making common sense decisions for the country. What he could not get done as president, he didn’t see why he couldn’t get it done as long as he was alive. Truest Patriot.
THIS is a MAN.
Desperately miss a time when presidents actually cared about the US population
Looks like he’s still building homes…class act.
D best Yes he still is! I’m 42yrs old and he’s going more than I am 🤣
Yeah right. He poses for a few pics and moves around for a little video and you really think he does this all day? He probably did this a total of 15min in a whole day just for the publicity. Little in the morning, little mid day and a little a little later, once or twice a year. Propaganda. lol
@Hesa Wanderer So cynical.
Of course Carter isn’t jumping on and off the roof hitting nails in whatever nails on roofs are hit into.
You think he got a black eye from opening a box of propecia or adderall ?
He fell, got stitches, and didn’t take a day off. He’s the real deal.
@Hesa Wanderer ….I want to apologize to you, I was the one who dropped you on you’re head as a baby👶
“Tell the Truth, for a Change” – Should be very Easy for Jimmy, not for the current one..
