Showing Original Post only (View all)Jimmy Carter: The Medias Been Harder on Trump Than Any Other President [View all]
Last edited Mon Oct 23, 2017, 06:50 AM - Edit history (1)
Former President Jimmy Carter spoke out on the current President in an interview out last night with The New York Times Maureen Dowd.
As Dowd writes, Carter sounded eager to work with Donald Trump on North Korea. He said he would even be willing to go there himself:

As Dowd writes, Carter sounded eager to work with Donald Trump on North Korea. He said he would even be willing to go there himself:
He said he has talked to Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, Trumps national security adviser, who is a good friend, including at Zbigniew Brzezinskis funeral when McMaster asked to sit next to Carter, but has so far gotten a negative response.
I told him that I was available if they ever need me, he said.

Don't think I'll trust Carter ever again. Sounds like he is sucking up to Trump for a trip to North Korea.

Carter has really gone off the rails here. If he had said one word to defend Obama from the birtherism or unfair attacks, he would have some credibility. At this point he is just sucking up to Trump. Disgusting!

And you'd be wrong. Carter may in fact want to try to prevent war between the two countries
