Former President Donald Trump mocked former President Jimmy Carter one day after it was confirmed former first lady Rosalynn Carter entered hospice care.
Trump, criticizing Biden at a rally in Fort Dodge, Iowa, told a crowd of supporters that “the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.”
“Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president,” Trump said.
If I said, “compared to a slug, you’re a genius,” I’m not calling you a genius.
He made it about Biden before even mentioning Carter. It was never about Carter. Carter was just the last single term Democrat, and often seen as an ineffectual president. Especially from Reagan-era conservatives who are Trumps biggest supporters.
I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but Republicans have been denigrating and bashing on Jimmy Carter for decades. Mostly because there were problems with the economy at the time that caused oil prices to skyrocket. He was an otherwise effective and capable leader, but he was always the butt of every Republican joke for years… “at least X isn’t as bad as Carter!” they would say. So to compare Carter to Biden and say he looked brilliant compared to him is a backhanded insult. Not even thinly veiled at this point. He’s insulting two presidents at once.
how is that an insult. He called jimmy carter brilliant.
How ridiculous. No he didn’t.
If I said, “compared to a slug, you’re a genius,” I’m not calling you a genius.
Horseshit. We all know exactly what the insinuation is. “We all thought Jimmy Carter was an idiot! Well he looks like Einstein compared to Brandon!”
Don’t carry water for that disgusting, classless fuck.
I dont think that was the implication. We dont need to make up shit to hate about trump but this makes us look bad.
That’s EXACTLY the fucking implication. Don’t treat us like morons.
You might be right I dont think so
You seem to have an issue comprehending context.
It was absolutely an obvious insult meant to insult Biden even more.

You’re either a shill or this is your first day on Earth.
Compared to a rock, you are quite brilliant :-)

Well, they bash because that’s what they do. Like a puppy peeing on the rug.
Oil prices spiking were a bonanza for oil profits in reality. They just used them as a cudgel.
