"Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.
Donald Trump
Again he needs to make it upon himself. So tired of this idiot.

Your TDS is showing again...a few posts into a new thread about the passing of Carter and you can't help yourself by injecting a Trump quote. Wow!
You could have at least included the entire quote...but like the biased leftwing media you pick/choose/truncate things to suit your narrative.
“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.”
the rest of the quote does not matter as the damage is done. trump again had to put himself above all. But i do not expect better from Trump anyway.
Trump is a sick narcissist incapable of compassion and humanity.
Trump is the complete antithesis of Carter.
TDS is reaching mass psychosis at this point, lol...
For Trump this is actually quite generous and loquacious...He should adopt this tone more often
I would bet $1000 that Trump didn't write his own post. No caps lock no anger and he actually sounded somewhat diplomatic. No way he wrote that himself
It's Trump supporters that are deranged. TDS also refers to Trump supporters standing for Tiny Dick Syndrome according to the unfortunate women whi have encountered them
"Damage is done"? What damage are you talking about?
Maybe if you stop hanging on every word and looking for things that trigger you, you would reduce your TDS anxiety.
When you dissect what he said in his first statement it actually makes a lot of sense. You're just using your confirmation bias to spin it a different way.
Let's break it down shall we?
"Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President".... here he clearly and humbly states that anyone who is President serves the people and should consider themselves fortunate to be given that responsibility and trust.
"this is a very exclusive club"..... because it actually is an exclusive club with less than 50 people in the US's history holding that position.
"and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History." .....quite obvious no? Who else outside of that role would have that responsibility?
So when you put your TDS and bias aside, it makes perfect sense.
Disagree?
The Iranians didn't like him much 
He will rot in hell’: Iranians remember Jimmy Carter as ‘architect of sanctions
Iran played a central role in Jimmy Carter's presidency, but in Tehran, where state television branded him the "architect of economic sanctions", many have far from fond memories of the late US president.
The former US president and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who passed away on Monday at the age of 100, left behind a legacy of punitive measures whose impact on Iran has endured since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
"Carter had a bad character," said Hassan Taherifar who works at a Tehran bazaar outside the former US embassy in Tehran, known locally as the "Den of Spies".
"Instead of supporting our nascent revolution, he opened a spy centre in our country," Taherifar added.
Others expressed stronger emotions. "He will rot in hell," one man in his 50s who did not give his name said outside the building.
Iran's state TV announced Carter's death by describing him as the "architect of economic sanctions" on the Islamic republic.
"Carter's failure... to properly deal with Iran, made his presidency short, only one term," said the reporter.
Under Iran's last shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Iran and the United States enjoyed close relations. During a 1977 visit by Carter to Iran, he called it "an island of stability in one of the more troubled areas of the world."
However, relations dramatically soured after the 1979 Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
On November 4, 1979, students loyal to Khomeini stormed the US embassy in Tehran, taking 52 staff hostage, an event that has shaped Iran-US relations for decades.
They demanded Washington hand over the recently toppled shah, who was being treated in the United States for cancer.
The hostages were held for 444 days, a period including the 1980 US presidential elections that Carter went on to lose.
The hostage-taking placed immense pressure on Carter, who authorised in April 1980 a top-secret military rescue mission that ended in disaster with the killing of eight US servicemen.
Washington officially broke off relations with Tehran in 1980, midway through the crisis, and they have never been restored.
The hostages were finally freed on January 20, 1981, on the day Carter's successor, Ronald Reagan, was sworn in as president.
Today, the former US embassy building serves as a museum, with a portrait of Carter still hanging on the wall of what was once the ambassador's office.
"Carter wasn't good to us," said 60-year-old Alireza, who runs an insurance company.
"This incident (the hostage crisis) had a great impact on relations between Iran and America and Carter's role was negative," he added.
While US sanctions on Tehran outlasted Carter, the late president backed a landmark nuclear deal with Iran in 2015 which provided sanctions relief in exchange for limits on Iran's nuclear programme.
The deal fell apart after then-president Donald Trump unilaterally withdrew the United States in 2018 and reimposed heavy sanctions on Iran.
In a 2014 interview with CNBC, Carter said he could have been re-elected to a second term if he had taken military action against Iran during the hostage crisis.
"It would have shown that I was strong and resolute and manly," the former president said.
"I could have wiped Iran off the map with the weapons that we had."
"But in the process, a lot of innocent people would have been killed, probably including the hostages."

In Iran, late Jimmy Carter remembered as 'architect of sanctions'
Iran played a central role in Jimmy Carter's presidency, but in Tehran, where state television branded him the "architect of economic sanctions", many have far from fond memories of the late US president.…
Jimmy Carter was a great friend to Canada and had more courage and integrity than the incoming convicted felon.
Disagree? What do you want me to agree or disagree with? You still really think Trump is about serving the people? Complete bull shit Trump despise the peasant poor fuck people. He wants to grab more from them to give further tax cut of 2-3 trillion to the rich. In 2017 he gave a trillion to the rich while poor and middle class pay more.
The US is far from being the greatest nation in history. The US has lower life expectancy, worst then Cuba. Millions of homeless and growing fast. Crazy ratio of gun violence.
Carter spent most of his life working to give housing for poor people and other human care measures. Trump stole from a kid cancer foundation.
It amaze me how you guys cannot see this in him. Trump represent everything I teach my kids not to be.
Let's try that again sans the TDS spew-fest...
Read each point of his comment and my description and then tell me what is so wrong with what he said?
Btw, not to speak ill of the dead but more to make a point...Carter's presidency was littered with controversies and scandals. if you put your apparent cognitive bias aside for a moment and actually look that up you will be enlightened.
and was much more intelligent, even til the day he died.
Social Posts Distort Facts on Trump Charities - FactCheck.org
Posts on social media falsely claim that the Trump family is "disallowed from operating ANY charity" in New York because they "stole from a kids cancer charity." That inaccurately describes the outcome of a court case involving the Donald J. Trump Foundation, and conflates it with allegations...

How many times have you used the same lie, lol
