Jimmy Carter is a wonderful human being, and that's the most important thing a man could ever wish to be.

@@spedrunI disagree. Not our best President, but underrated in my opinion. It was his fed chair pick who curbed inflation, it was just Reagan who was in office when it happened. The Camp David accords might be the single most significant peace treaty since WWII, and both Begin and Sadat credited Carter for his incredible effort in making it work. While he couldn’t make it public at the time, intelligence suggests that there would’ve been war if he didn’t give the Canal Zone back to the Panamanians. He protected more land than any other President with Alaska, and was the first world leader to acknowledge and take steps towards combating climate change. Iran was a fumble, I’ll agree there. But it’s notable that he got all the hostages back alive. He also changed the face of the judiciary, established the departments of energy and education as well as FEMA. He was not great a messaging, and his extreme focus on detail didn’t play well in public. But in hindsight he seems like a man who was able to peer over the horizon and make very significant choices for long term gain, even at the cost of short term pain and popularity

Jimmy Who?
Well, I’ll tell you, that is the oldest President in American history, a man who has lived to the fullest, and he now made it to the incredible age of 99. Plains’ favorite son and a great humanitarian. 🇺🇸

Jimmy Carter, if still alive in 2024, would be the most experienced possible candidate for President of the United States of America. He is the oldest former President and oldest former President who can run for President. Vote Carter 2024!

It's a bit ironic hearing Jimmy Carter being referred to as a young man now that he's the oldest living President at 99 years old.

[@greenmountainbrownie6473]

Jimmy Carter is still alive. He should of ran for his second term in 2020, he might be in his 90's but at least he can string together a coherent sentence unlike Biden. Maybe he could be the 2024 Democrat pick if he's still kicking

[@futurepresidentwilliamreed9155]

I’m friends with him and his family. As much as I wish he could run again, he ain’t in no shape to do it again.
