I disagree with him on plenty, but I can’t say I agree with myself 100% of the time either. From everything I know, he is a great man

Billy was an iconic character for a POTUS brother. Quite entertaining.

I appreciate that after Obama and Biden Administrations he's only the third worst president In American history. That may be unfair to them though. I mean he did pretty much green light Islamic Extremism throu-out the entire middle east. Maybe I'm too North American centric. He's still the worst American president maybe for them.

When he turned his back on our ally, the Shah and all the westernized and Majority of Iranians that lived there and basically encouraged the Radical islamic take over of Iran. He was told it would happened, and yet did what he did anyway. Likewise his administrations response to the PLO. Where ever Radical islam appeared the a Carter administration turned it's back on friendly allies, and helped pave teh way for radicalization.....that was also usually friendly with Soviet interests and the Islamic Brotherhood. Anyone from the middle east would not have to be told this. Iran love the U.S. they sent most of their kids to be educated in the U.S. Women wore American fashions and had degrees of freedom they never had before or since. You can not put into words the levels of suffering and number killed because of Carter's policies from Iran to Beruit, and that cancer spread through out the middle east and the world. Radical Islam as we know it didn't exist for the century before. The very start of Radical islam starts with Hitler, National SOCIALISM, and the Islamic brotherhood. Carter was either the first manchurian candidate, or just so naive as to appear so. His every policy helped the Soviet sphere, and hurt our allies.

With 1 being the worst and 10 the best compared to Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter is a 1. However compared to Joe "Robert Peters" Biden, Jimmy Carter is a 10.

Carter is the worst president of my lifetime.
Biden doesn’t count, he’s still in office.
The difference between Carter and Biden is Carter was a genuinely good person (nobody is perfect) he just had the wrong makeup to be president. In spite of that he’s leaving this world a better place than he found it for a lot of people.

Nazi rocket science level conspiracizing there. I guess you're a global interventionist. Not criticizing it, just saying.

Look I think Carter sucked, but that's just how bad Biden is. He's a combination of Carter and Woodrow Wilson, and he is confused.

I don't think you're giving due credit to the Wahabi as agents of chaos, and to be fair to Carter his options were really limited with Iran. The Shah was despised by a huge share of Iran's population by the time Carter got into office. He (Shah) was on the way out regardless.
As for the PLO, had the US been an honest broker in that area from the 60's we'd have avoided a lot of problems.

BREAKING NEWS: Jimmy Carter celebrates 99th birthday by attending annual Peanut Festival in Georgia hometown with wife Rosalynn SEVEN MONTHS after he went into hospice care​

Former President Jimmy Carter celebrated his 99th birthday by making his first public appearance since he entered hospice care seven months ago.

Carter, 98, was met with raucous applause as he made his way to the Plains Peanut Festival in Georgia on Saturday, and was seen being driven down the flag-lined street in a black SUV alongside former First Lady Rosalynn Carter.

The longest living president in US history entered hospice care in February, announcing that he 'decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care' as he ceased medical intervention.

Three months later, it was revealed that Rosalynn, 96, had dementia.

Footage of Carter being driven through the festival was posted on X - formerly Twitter - which quickly garnered warm responses from supporters of the aging president.

His 76-year marriage to Rosalynn also stands as the longest between any president and first lady in US history.
