A true American President in every sense of the word.

Jimmy Carter was Commander in Chief when I was w/the 9th Infantry Division. It was an honor to serve under his leadership. After I retired, his selfless post-Presidency work fueled my own desire to serve my country in a wholly different way. What a gift. Soar Mr. President, soar. 🕊️✨🫡

And then there's that creature in the front row that's the antithesis of wat Jimmy Carter stood for.

I wish when people talk about taking our country back, they were talking about Jimmy Carter time. When decency and humanity existed in politics.

My heart hurts we need more humble servant leaders. Not the self centered spawn

Your words, Sir, are timeless and more than ever - timely!

Someone said he was "too good" to be President
considering Reagan's deal to not release the hostages in Iran before the election (Iran was our enemy) is what won that election
Donald Trump is the most extreme progression from that
If Jimmy was too good Donald is too evil
But he won
this is now USINO

I'm really going to miss President Carter's influence of decency, humanity, and doing what's right.

The World was a LOT better place with Jimmy Carter in it. He embodies ALL that is good about the Human Race. He NEVER quit giving, he never quit being kind, he never quit being decent. That is a life well lived.

May he RIP alongside his lovely Wife.

We were all better to have known them.

That he actually expected enforcement of the desegregation rules is probably part of why the right hates him so much.

Bob Jones University’s IRS status was a big part of this story. Backlash to Carter galvanized the modern reactionary movement.
