Jimmy Carter may have not have been a great president and the US government may have sone some shitty things while he was in charge, but he is probably the most upstanding American president of the last half century. Pretty much everyone after (with maaaybe the exception of Obama) has been of lesser character.
Which, now that I’ve written it out, sounds really sad. The best the country could do was Jimmy Carter, who … wasn’t great.
Dude, Obama ordered more drone strikes than any president before him. Just because he was a good speaker and charismatic doesn't make him a good person.
How many drone strikes did Truman order? How about Garfield? Maybe a metric of "Everyone who came before" isn't very good for technological advancements like that.
I don't remember how many trump order, but trump did so many shitty things that I don't have to point out drone strikes as a bad thing he did. Dude is a horrible person in general.
Truman, not Trump. Old guy, bombed the Japanese.
Yeah, I can't read apparently.
Note the maybe, but whatever. Tell you what. Name one post-carter president who was better than Carter. Dude doesn’t have to be good, just better than Carter.
