Everyone is welcome to their opinion. And I still say if you look into the Korea thing during Clinton's time, Carter was unfair to Pres. Clinton. He does not hold office and has no business going overseas and trying to make policy. The remarks he made about trump should not have been made with mid-terms upon us.
