Trump took to Truth Social after the news broke, saying in part, "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude."
Theodore Winters, who describes himself as a "conservative Republican artist," laughed at the president elect's comment.
"Lol, I know youre being nice. But youre tripping," Winters wrote. "Carter was a terrible president and damaged The United States Of America to such an extent that we are STILL dealing with his horribly policy decisions and his inflation repercussions in 2024."
.
John 55 🇺🇸, who identifies as an "America First" veteran, chimed in:
"Jimmy Carter pardoned all the Vietnam draft dodgers that forced other men to take their place! Many of these men did not come home."
"Personally, I think Carter lived a long life to suffer for the pardons to the draft dodgers he pardoned," he added.

So, am I getting this right? Carter ought to condemned for pardoning Vietnam draft dodgers, one of which has a cult following devoted to him, that this John 55 presumably voted for a Vietnam draft dodger? Huh? How does that make any sense?
We were lucky to have Jimmy, even though we sadly didnt deserve him. Our country and our planet are poorer because of him.
Lots of ignorant comments are listed in that article from people who wouldnt have been worthy of licking President Carters spit off the ground.

(97,074 posts)1. Ignorant comments is right. Viet Nam was a disaster that destroyed millions of lives. I wonder what these commenters
will say if the sociopath pardons his January 6 insurrectionists?
The jerk who blames Jimmy Carter for inflation is a complete idiot, Conveniently ignoring the mishandling of the Covid pandemic, the reagan legacy, which probably contributed the most to our deficit and inflation.

Mr. Fake Bone Spurs lied his cowardly ass out of serving. Fucking hypocritical morons.
