Isn’t it almost impossible to believe that the same nation which elected Jimmy Carter to its highest office also bestowed that honor upon Donald Trump? Not surprisingly, it seems the Carter presidency was the aberration, much as some of us would like to hope Trump’s was the step outside the norms of America’s political reality. We never deserved Jimmy Carter. But Trump? That’s another story.
And the fact that a good, decent, upright man like James Earl Carter is judged by our history as having been an abject failure as POTUS, really tells you all you need to know about the United States of America. Doesn’t it?
