Jimmy Carter says President-elect Donald Trump needs Americans’ “support and our prayers” as he prepares to take office.
Carter briefly discussed the election at a conference Thursday focused on neglected tropical diseases.
The 92-year-old former president says he spoke to Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Wednesday. Carter joked that he understands how both Trump and Clinton feel this week.
He said that’s “because I won the same election, as some of you may be old enough to remember, and then I lost the same election.”
He said: “We have a lot in common.”
Carter won the 1976 election and lost his 1980 re-election bid.
good: Jimmy Carter: what a great Christian American
bad: Damn you Jimmy, he’s the enemy.
What’s with the good/bad thing?
(And I’m not even supposed to look at politics today–it’s okay though, my wife is shopping.)
the prevailing mood is that folks are supposed to give Trump the cold shoulder on account of him beating Hillary.
the thing is that most folks aren’t going to think like that. They are willing to give him benefit of doubt or assume that its just politics, anything but…
No shit, Jimmy. And so do the American people.
And so does the world.
"Our Father who art in heaven…
…deliver us from all evil…
Amen"
