Joseph Biden he said Donald Trump to learn “good” a Jimmy Carterlegate, in the said hours after the previous president death on Sunday in the year C^.
Speaking to reporters during a family vacation in the US Virgin Islands, the outgoing US president drew on the character of Carter and his predecessor Trump, who is due to begin his second term in January.
Asked if there was anything Trump could learn from Carter, Biden replied: “Decentness. Decency Decency.”
“Can you imagine” Jimmy Carter walking by someone who needs something and just keep walking? ” Biden said. “Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone they’re looking at on the street or talking to on the street? I can’t.”
The outgoing president spoke for nine minutes about Carter, describing him as a humanitarian, a personal friend and a “remarkable leader.” He highlighted how Carter’s values reflected America’s global standing, noting that “the rest of the world is looking to us.” And his face is worthy.
Trump, who has had public disagreements with Carter in the past, struck a more moderate tone in his response. The 45th and 47th US president released two statements on Sunday praising Carter as a “really good man” for whom he had “the utmost respect” – and describing him as more consequential than most Oval Office holders.
“While I vehemently disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also understood that he truly loved and respected his country and assumed everything” Trumpet truth wrote in Social. “He worked diligently to make America a better place, and I give him the highest honor for that.”
Trump’s response to Carter’s death was a remarkable U-turn from recent rhetoric. In October, on Carter’s 100th birthday, Trump campaigned in Waunakee, Wisconsin, and a mockery of the former president as a “lucky man” because Biden’s one-term presidency made Carter look “splendid” in front of him.
The relationship between Carter and Trump has long been thorny and has developed into a dig at both sides. In 2019, Carter suggested that Russian interference had handed Trump his 2016 victory; Trump will release a comment at the G20 summit calling Carter a “beautiful” but “terrible president” and a “forgotten president.” Carter later that year would announce Trump’s second term as a “disaster” and ” citing old age as a factor.
Trump finally became the first person to be elected president when he won Kamala Harris In November, Biden lost the election in 2020.
In a post on the 10th, Biden continued with these . Praise Carter’s work in lifewho was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for her work in promoting peaceful solutions to global conflicts, advancing human rights and democracy, and promoting economic and social development.
President Carter said that “life is measured not by words but by deeds” and that he “raised people, changed lives, saved lives all over the world.”
“Jimmy Carter stands as a model for living life with meaning and purpose,” Biden said. “We could all do well to be a little more like Jimmy Carter.”
Carter’s state funeral is scheduled for January 9 at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC.
