    Carter was a peanut farmer and those peanuts were sold internationally. He sold the farm before being elected so as not to be in violation of the emoluments clause.

      Just setting the record straight. Carter put his farm in a blind trust. And I agree that Trump isn’t fit to clean Carter’s outhouse

      Didn’t W divest a bunch of stuff and setup a blind trust for the same reason. And if I’m remembering correctly didn’t the peanut farm had been Carter’s family for a while so he gave up something that meant something more than money.

        Every president save Trump in modern times has had various assets and investments, and they have all put them in blind trusts during their terms.
