As a seasoned gamer who has witnessed the evolution of political discourse through various video games, I find it fascinating yet disheartening to observe such stark contrasts in the rhetoric between former presidents.

At a recent rally, Donald Trump made fun of ex-President Jimmy Carter. His comments focused on Carter’s presidency while drawing parallels to President Joe Biden. Consequently, there is much interest in finding out exactly what Donald Trump said about Jimmy Carter.

In this piece, we’ll explore the comments Donald Trump made regarding Jimmy Carter on the occasion of his centennial celebration.

Donald Trump mocks Jimmy Carter on his 100th birthday

During a gathering in Waunakee, Wisconsin, ex-President Donald Trump took aim at Jimmy Carter on his 100th birthday, finding an occasion to critique not only Carter’s presidency but also President Joe Biden’s. Unlike other living former leaders who paid tribute to Carter’s achievement, Trump refrained from acknowledging Carter’s birthday or his status as the longest-living ex-president. Instead, Trump favorably contrasted Carter with Biden, stating that Jimmy Carter is the “most content” because he is regarded as a highly intelligent president compared to Biden. Simultaneously, Trump deemed Biden as the “poorest” U.S. president in history. (Paraphrased from PBS)

In response to criticisms of his own immigration policies, Trump countered by saying, “Jimmy Carter didn’t allow over 21 million people to enter the U.S. unchecked, without a sense of proportion or any kind of oversight from mysterious origins.

His comments stood in stark contrast to the tributes from Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden, who honored Carter at a benefit concert raising $1.2 million for the Carter Center. The concert aired on Georgia Public Broadcasting and featured messages of support for Carter’s work on peace, health, and humanitarian causes.

Trump criticized both Biden’s and Carter’s past accomplishments. Meanwhile, Carter, who has been receiving hospice care since February 2023, celebrated his birthday peacefully with family, enjoying a special military salute arranged in his honor. Rather than dwelling on his 100th birthday, Carter’s loved ones emphasized that he was thrilled about having the opportunity to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.
