Jimmie Carter
Stephen Colbert asked the former President about what he thought of Trump. He said he used to think Trump was a jerk.
Stephen Colbert asked Carter “does America want kind of a jerk as President?” Carter’s response was “Apparently, from this recent election, yes. I never knew it before.”
“I pray that he’ll be a good president, and that he’ll keep our country at peace, and that he’ll refrain from using nuclear weapons, and that he will promote human rights. So, yeah, I pray for him,” Carter said.
Carter also said he wasn’t sure if his prayers would be answered. He did recognize that the “media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about.”
This was certainly true and Trump was known for lashing out at the media more than any President ever did as well.
