Jimmy Carter's smiling, man-of-the-people image that saw him carry his own luggage was 'all show', say ex-Secret Service agents

2023-03-03

Scathing.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]...who claim ex-president was 'rude and short' and 'talked down' to soldiers

Secret Service agents revealed Jimmy Carter, 98, who has announced he is entering hospice care at home, was nothing like his smiling, friendly image

Behind the scenes, the 39th president would treat his secret service detail like they 'weren't there' or 'were bothering him', and 'talked down to the military'

Despite his 'phony' public façade, Carter is being hailed as a humble president who championed the working man, as he lives out his final days in hospice care

#7 He has to certify a few more rancid "elections" first...

#6 How many times is JC going to announce his imminent death before he goes away for good?

#5 It's worth remembering he was a sort of inflection point. Before him, there were lots of "conservative" democrats. After, fewer all the time until we get to the ravening progressive horde of today.

If Nixon hadn't f*cked up, Carter would probably never have been president.

#4 I always hear people say he meant well but he was a Democrat so I won't even give him that much. Let him fade into obscurity where he belongs.

#2 On the one hand, I didn’t care to hear from Mother Theresa’s detractors upon her death. On the other hand, I didn’t care for the nobody can speak against McCain because he’s dead policy. From a policy standpoint, I liked nothing that Carter did after he was voted out. He seemed inept when he was in office. I support what he did regarding Desert One. For what they had at the time, I thought it was a good shot. He may have been a jerk, but his presidency seemed to be less consequential with regard to the Deep State as opposed to Nixon creating the DOE and EPA. In 50 years he is Millard Fillmore. People will write books about his importance. No one will read those books.

I submit this as his epitaph.

#1 Jimmy Carter's greatest accomplishment was ushering in Ronald Reagan for 2 terms. Other than that the American taxpayer funded a simple life for him and his wife. It probably turns out to about $200K per wood project for Habitat for Humanity.
