Trump.
What a fine and decent man.
This always amazes me.
May his memory be a blessing.
He was a good statesman, a respected humanitarian, a loving husband and father, and a veteran of our Navy’s Silent Service.
Impossibru.
Republicans and dumb as shit Democrats called him a failure. He wasn't.
He couldn't help it that the oil crisis and Iran hostage taking happened on his watch.
As an atheist, I honestly truly hope that for him and Miss Rosalynn that they have been reunited in theur afterlife.
A man who followed his faith without forcing it upon others. He did not wear his faith as a badge or shield. He used it as his personal moral and ethical guide.
A man who strove to be a good human every single day because he wanted to.
He would have thought that simple statement the highest compliment possible.
In 1980, his administration supported the South Korean military dictatorship in putting down the Gwangju uprising against the dictatorship, killing thousands. South Korea's own Tiananmen, with Carter calling the shots.

RIP, Mr Carter. May your legacy of kindness live on.
The message and lesson is simple -- you save humanity by saving individual humans at every opportunity.

A decent man of power is another matter
