    Now list all the things Trump was wrong about. LOL

    One thing is certain, Jimmy Carter did more for others in one week of service and volunteer work than Trump did in his entire life outside of the White House. Not only that, he did it for decades.

    He wasn't a taker like Trump, looking for the next grift and bragging about how great he is. Nope, he wasn't driven by greed and attention. He was a humble and giving man. He also knew what it meant to take a marriage vow and love, respect, and stand by that woman his entire life. Trump isn't even capable of that.
    Never was, and never will be. It's always about him first.

    I'm not saying Carter was an evil man. But he was incredibly misguided about Hamas and Israel, and Iran.

    He chose the wrong side. His failure had terrible consequences.

    At least you have backed off calling him an anti sematic. I understand your crusade but someone of your intelligence shouldn't let your emotions cloud your judgement. You're a lawyer

    He is a WWII medal winner

    He supported terrorists against Jews.

    You make up your own mind if his motivation was antisemitic.

    I think it's sad that Gazans have chosen Hamas as their leaders but Carter's motivation was peace not antisemitism. He fought in WWII, he has done way more for Jews than your overzealous crusade

    The only natural gas is what you are emitting on a significantly above average basis.

    Trump‘s back to flying the US flag at full height at Mar a Lago before end of 30-day mourning period following Carter’s death. All I can say about that is he deserves the same disrespect when he dies. He is about as classless as they come, that's for sure.

    the flag wars are heating up

    Mike Johnson orders flags at the Capitol to be at full staff for Trump inauguration
    The House speaker announced Tuesday that the flags on the Hill will be raised for Trump’s inauguration next week and lowered again the following day to honor the death of former president Jimmy Carter.
