The un-celebrity president: Jimmy Carter shuns riches, lives modestly (2018)

I would consider us lucky to ever have a person like this serve us again. Instead we're on the Biff Tannen timeline.

I'm still baffled how he sided with the Khmer Rouge when Vietnam invaded Cambodia and justifiability so, even after what they did during the Ba Chúc massacre.

IMO it should be an expectation that all former presidents live the rest of their lives in quiet contrition and penitence. No matter how careful, how conscientious, you are leaving that office with blood on your hands and stains on your soul. It should be considered a calling with a very high personal cost, not a position of victory or honor.

that was then, and this is now &quot;Inside Trump&#x27;s 100 days of presidential profit&quot;: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.axios.com&#x2F;2025&#x2F;05&#x2F;02&#x2F;trump-crypto-world-liberty-business-profit" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.axios.com&#x2F;2025&#x2F;05&#x2F;02&#x2F;trump-crypto-world-liberty-...</a>

Looking back, I think Pres. Carter was far better then he if given credit for.<p>I do fully believe, even at the time, he would have been much much better than Reagan ever was. Plus we would not be saddled with Trump at this point.
