Until you figure what they political class do behind the scene, dont put too much energy defending those you believe are with you....to them, its all about interest; when you hear them shout, its because their interest is at stake.
I'm glad he was there and I'm glad that he had to listen to many eulogies that were containing elements that were antithetical to his stated beliefs. I'm hoping it affected him in a positive way.
He did not receive any retribution for his actions over the past 4 years because the prosecution was tremendously inefficient, but he will receive his karma later.
What I’m looking forward to most, about Trump’s inauguration on the 20th. Is the millions of furious Americans, mobilising onto the streets, in the biggest mass protest the USA has ever seen. Giving Trump the message, loud and clear, the majority of Americans hate his fucking guts.
It revolting to have a traitor sit there and joke with Obama and act like this is normal. Is everyone so naive to not know he will destroy our country?
Unpopular Opinion from the angle of the deceased, the one with the Nobel Peace Prize:
Trump is allowed.
Everyone is allowed to mourn Our President Jimmy Carter.
No regrets.
I agree totally with you, as I think the majority of people reading this will, too.
It's beyond sad that all that President Carter accomplished is the exact opposite of what the incoming administration brags they will seek to do.
Almost like their inhumanity is a badge of honor for them.
I disagree based on the example of Pres. Carter's life. I suspect he did not support anything the orange menace said or did, but as a true Christian, he would not have shunned him, but prayed for him.
It's not unpopular. It's the truth. Carter established the US Department of Education because he wanted MORE for the people. The convicted felon, civilly adjudicated r*pist, insurrectionist, and r*cist wants to abolish the US Dept of Education because he demands LESS for the people.
Until we learned that American politicians believe that it’s ok to tolerate abuse from other politicians because in the end is just politics. We don’t see it that way. A prostitute will talk to her pimp even if she gets hit, abused & he takes her money. Politicians are the same. It’s about $$
Trump and his Hooker are at President Carter's funeral just to bring the attention of all attending, the cameras and the media directly towards him, and his Hooker. #FuckTrump
My hope is that something of Jimmy's beautiful world seeped into Trump's cold dead heart. Like the ghost of Christmas future, I hope this experience haunts him.
I agree. #trump personifies the #Oz movies: he’s got no heart, no brains, no courage, and he’s the most #wicked person alive. He’s not fit company for anyone!
How long after it ends do you think he’ll wait to try to make the whole day about himself or say something stupid to try to compare Carter’s accomplishments to what he believes he’s done? As soon as he gets to his car?
Except, as the elected President, he has the right and responsibility to be at the funeral. Morally, it is repugnant but, as they say, elections have consequences.
Agreed that Trump doesn't belong at Carter's funeral, but I enjoyed that he had to listen what character Carter had, and that he never lied, etc. Not that Trump cares..
Yes, he does deserve to be there. He is a past President, whether I like it or not. I am hoping some of the messages shared today might worm their way into his head. But probably not.
I’m just grateful Biden is giving the eulogy and not trump. I hope trump had the self awareness to realize Biden was talking about him when he talked about abuse of power.
Agree, but he has to be wondering what everyone is talking about. He knows nothing about faith, hope, love, kindness, respect, justice, and character. I'm wondering if that is the other Melania. They were holding hands when they walked in. The real one recoils from his touch.
I keep noting all the references to decency, country before self, love of neighbors, support for those with less—everything in stark contrast to Trump.
He has no idea how to conduct himself in any situation. He is such a vulgarian. Poor President Obama next to him. I'll bet he just wanted to say, "Will you shut up, Man".
Funny thing is, if Trump had been invited to Jimmy Carter’s funeral, he wouldn’t have gone but because he wasn’t wanted there, he showed. That’s what narcissists do.
Maybe you are correct...but these were the desires of our President Jimmy Carter...He embodied EVERY trait a President should have in every generation. My hope is T heard A PHRASE, A WORD that could possibly turn his heart softer. May be impossible. Carter's gifts were golden.
I agree. Trump has said pretty rotten things about everyone in attendance and he just shouldn't be there. I cant believe Pence shook Trumps hand. Pence's wife took the lead on that one did not shake his or Melania's hand
He can hardly read children’s books, she may have had to read it to him. As for rooms, he doesn’t know how to read those at all. He thinks he’s the biggest brick of gold in the building, even though the heaviest turd. Also the biggliest President since Taft. 🛁
trump is not there because of President Carter. trump is there because he wants to be recognized as part of the exclusive club of men who have been POTUS, and that he is important. If he gave a eulogy, he would talk about himself.

I absolutely agree!
As a Veteran(Submarine Sailor)!
As former Government Employee!
As human being!

I thought that was gonna read, "on the sunlit side of an ass".
Subtlety matters.
I actually think Jimmy probably went off meds to die before seeimg Trump inaugurated again!
He made sure his facial gestures told us so.
Im surprised the POS didn’t spontaneously combust into flames upon entering inside a Church.
Any pretense of honoring Jimmy Carter is a farce. T has no honor.
There wasn’t one notable person in that room that Trump hasn’t said something terrible about publicly.
Including President Carter.
Trump aside, it was a beautiful service.
No one had any trouble thinking of nice things to say about President Carter.
He was loved.
You would think by now they could behave like everyone else, at least at a funeral but no.
She actually acted as if she was zoned out most of the time.
She read her program at least 100 times.
😂
If he could read the room at all, he must have known how unwelcome he was.
Imagine expecting to be the center of attention at anyone’s funeral, let alone an ex- President, who was so much loved and respected.
You could tell it was like he was waiting for each speaker to mention his name.
I was proud of everyone there who ignored his sheer existence.
Too much love and admiration for another human being that wasn’t himself.
He really couldn’t stand it not being about him.
It just doesn’t sit right with his soul.
Carter protected so much land, and while LA is burning down Trump tries to withhold funds. The optics are overwhelmingly difficult, to see him there.
What’s your motivation or reasoning for saying this here?
I was going to block him straight away but sometimes I give a chance for explanation if I think there’s any conceivable one.
