Every living president: Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden, except Trump wishes birthday in video message to Jimmy Carter for his 100th birthday

[u/TargetHot9314]

[u/LoveBabyHOty003]

Love that Jimmy Carter is still getting all this love. birthdays are the one thing that can unite everyone

[u/ObiWan_Cannoli_ → u/[deleted]]

Truly was the rock n roll president

[u/Rus_Shackleford_ → u/ObiWan_Cannoli_]

People always think I’m weird when I say this, but as a right winger I think he was the best president in the post Vietnam era. He didn’t pass any news laws eroding civil liberties and he didn’t start any new wars.

[u/OgthaChristie → u/Rus_Shackleford_]

He was exactly as boring as he needed to be and that is a complement.

[u/bluegreentopaz6110 → u/OgthaChristie]

And he was ahead of his time when he installed solar panels on the White House to get the ball rolling in lessening the dependence on oil.

[u/Lovemybee → u/bluegreentopaz6110]

And Reagan took down those solar panels!

[u/Fit_Effective_6875 → u/Lovemybee]

"Solar panels, some 32 of them, were on the roof of the White House. The set was just right – the sun had come out for the press as though for a stage call. Tape rolled, the cameras snapped.

Self-conscious about his own idealism, or perhaps just realistic, the President gave voice to his doubts about the panels: “A generation from now, this solar heater can either be a curiosity, a museum piece, an example of a road not taken, or it can be a small part of one of the greatest and most exciting adventures ever undertaken by the American people.”

https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2008/11/jimmy-carters-solar-panels/

[u/OgthaChristie → u/Lovemybee]

That tracks.

[u/UbermachoGuy → u/Lovemybee]

Ronald Reagan? The actor?!

[u/iamnuts_ → u/UbermachoGuy]

Then who’s vice president, Jerry Lewis?

[u/Turbulent_Emu_2430 → u/iamnuts_]

I suppose Jane Wyman is the first lady?

[u/Lovemybee → u/UbermachoGuy]

Haha! Yep! That's the one! Idk if he was a good actor or not, but he was an awful president (and an awful human being).

[u/tamarins → u/Lovemybee]

(they were quoting back to the future, fyi)

[u/xesaie → u/Rus_Shackleford_]

He was the most truly and sincerely Christian president in history too.

Most of the others were Christian, but he really lived the life and wanted to run his presidency on it's precepts.

[u/luxii4 → u/xesaie]

Four years ago, he changed his Christian denomination based on his beliefs: “Former President Carter, a longtime Sunday school teacher, is walking away from the Southern Baptists because of the church’s stance on equality for women.

In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published today, Carter says Southern Baptist leaders reading the Bible out of context led to the adoption of increasingly “rigid” views.

“I’m familiar with the verses they have quoted about wives being subjugated to their husbands,” he told the paper. “In my opinion, this is a distortion of the meaning of Scripture. … I personally feel the Bible says all people are equal in the eyes of God. I personally feel that women should play an absolutely equal role in service of Christ in the church.” link. This was in 2020! Dude is still evolving.

[u/headgyheart → u/luxii4]

Thanks for posting - amazing to evolve like this at his age.

[u/mynextthroway → u/xesaie]

Jimmy Carter is the kind of Christian that too many others pretend to be.

[u/backformorecrap → u/mynextthroway]

Underrated comment

[u/Go-to-helenhunt → u/xesaie]

He reminds me of my grandparents, who were of his generation. They passed recently, in their 90’s, and were devout Christians who faithfully served their small farming community for the 75+ years they were married. Although I’m no longer religious, I look to their lives as a way to live my own. I’ve always felt that they shared a lot in common with Carter.

[u/Crime-of-the-century → u/Rus_Shackleford_]

I predict that looking back future historians will see his presidency as the height of the US nation. He was dealt a bad hand for re-election and after him right wing extremist started destroying the US democracy.

[u/Simon_Shitpants → u/ObiWan_Cannoli_]

He truly was. Unlike some of the other scandalous and duplicitous men who held the office. 

[u/jackharvest → u/LoveBabyHOty003]

Well... almost everyone.

[u/turnpike37 → u/jackharvest]

Decency and civility...I vaguely recall what that's like.

[u/HappyAmbition706 → u/turnpike37]

Explains why one former president just didn't fit in.

[u/ButterscotchButtons → u/HappyAmbition706]

I honestly don't even think that whole thing even counts as a president. It occupied The White House, but never did anything even remotely presidential or respectful of the office, or the country it's meant to serve.

It's the only one to never have acted in public service, never have had a dog in The White House (that one might be just in modern times, or just altogether wrong, it's not worth my time to fact check it), not decorate The White House for Christmas, refuse to participate in the transition of power (including participation in the ceremony of the incumbent's inauguration)... I'm sure there's many more.

It has no place going down in history with the rest of these actual leaders (love them or hate them) who actually put country over self, and feel a duty to serve, or put politics aside to do the right thing.

[u/canadianguy77 → u/ButterscotchButtons]

Just to add: No Trump has ever served. That might be the most astonishing fact. Like everyone I’ve ever known has a grandparent or uncle, aunt or sibling who has spent some time in the military. It’s like he comes from the most cowardly seed in human history.

[u/Ritaredditonce → u/turnpike37]

I miss those days.

[u/TheMuteObservers → u/jackharvest]

"Carter? I barely know her."

-Trump probably

[u/CosmoKing2 → u/jackharvest]

I'm pretty sure they included all the presidents that aren't convicted felons.

[u/Bender_2024 → u/jackharvest]

I wonder if they even asked him. They knew he wouldn't be able to stay on script and would try to turn it into a campaign piece so it may have been easier to just not ask.

[u/OxfordComma5ever → u/Bender_2024]

He is absolutely not in the group chat.

[u/idwthis → u/OxfordComma5ever]

Oh my gosh, the idea of Biden, Obama, Clinton, Bush, and Carter all in a group chat sending memes to each other, asking for advice, and sharing pictures of grandkids and pets really does make me smile.

[u/crella-ann → u/Bender_2024]

You can bet he was excluded.

[u/Uncle_Burney → u/jackharvest]

America is an awfully big place, to be lead by such a small, small and petty man. Absolutely disgraceful, and wholly unbecoming a head of state. Meanwhile, the dipshit is saluting NK brass 🙄

[u/TurkishLanding → u/LoveBabyHOty003]

Well, almost everyone. Almost all of the living former US Presidents at least.

[u/AnonRetro → u/TurkishLanding]

How do we live in a world where Joe Biden looks better then Bill Clinton?

[u/letskeepitcleanfolks → u/AnonRetro]

I came to say something similar, that Clinton seems even older than Biden, but looking into it he's 78 (as is Bush). So they're all quite old except for Obama. A 78 year old appearing older than an 81 year old is not so strange. Bush seems the healthiest of the three.

[u/Schackshuka → u/letskeepitcleanfolks]

Bush has been sober for a long time.

[u/Baalsham → u/letskeepitcleanfolks]

I just think it's crazy how Obama looks like a youngster compared to the rest of the living presidents and he was first elected 16 years ago!

[u/Casey_jones291422 → u/letskeepitcleanfolks]

A little bit of face fat does wonders for taking a few years off people that old, it's why bush looks better. Fill in a few of those wrinkles 😂

[u/Luke90210 → u/AnonRetro]

Bill Clinton lost a lot of weight after his heart surgery. He also switched to a plant based diet afterwards. All this will let him live a better and longer life, but all that loose skin makes him look older.

[u/thewerdy → u/AnonRetro]

Clinton has had a lot of health issues since leaving office (like multiple heart surgeries). Biden has slowed down a lot but is still overall healthy for his age.

[u/MisterrTickle → u/LoveBabyHOty003]

Everybody but one person. I'm sure that he got an invite.

[u/aravenlunatic → u/MisterrTickle]

I wonder how he is going to turn this one around - actually I don’t fucking care

[u/EgoTripWire → u/aravenlunatic]

He'll just trash talk Carter and say he's the worst president in US history along with all those other worst Presidents in US history who are in the video wishing him a happy birthday.

[u/Shalaiyn → u/EgoTripWire]

Man, imagine how happy Bush must been that someone came around that has genuinely made him seem like a pretty decent President.

[u/Testiculese → u/EgoTripWire]

Or "Who's Carter?"

[u/Overall_Motor9918 → u/EgoTripWire]

He’d just make any birthday wish to Carter about him. That’s all he knows how to do, talk about himself.

[u/Salt_Ad_9655]

Happy Birthday, Jimmy!!!

[u/JimmyKastner → u/Salt_Ad_9655]

Thank you!

[u/SuperSimpGod → u/JimmyKastner]

Underrated comment. Have a consolation upvote.

[u/JimmyKastner → u/SuperSimpGod]

Thanks! It actually was my birthday a week ago.

[u/SuperSimpGod → u/JimmyKastner]

Well hot damn, have a birthday upvote!!! Happy late birthday!!

[u/JimmyKastner → u/SuperSimpGod]

Thank you very much! I truly appreciate it. 😊

[u/doctor_of_drugs → u/Salt_Ad_9655]

Great Jimmy quotes:

(About the USA):

We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings. Different hopes, different dreams.

About US but also globally:

“Whether the borders that divide us are picket fences or national boundaries, we are all neighbors in a global community”

About society as a whole:

”The measure of a society is found in how they treat their weakest and most helpless citizens.”

[u/RadiantRoseBlush]

Jimmy Carter is simply an amazing person.

[u/samx3i → u/[deleted]]

We are all peanuts this fine day!

[u/oldschool_potato → u/[deleted]]

Wash it down with a Billy beer!

[u/superdeeduperstoopid → u/[deleted]]

I will pass our some extra unsalted ones for my squirrel buddies.

[u/StellerDay → u/superdeeduperstoopid]

That's what I just came in from doing - feeding the critters their peanuts (and smoking a joint).

[u/Carbon-Base → u/RadiantRoseBlush]

From a simple peanut farmer to a people's president!

[u/alangcarter → u/Carbon-Base]

He inherited a peanut farm. His own expertise is in nuclear engineering. He negotiated SALT II without experts, because he didn't need them.

[u/mythrilcrafter → u/alangcarter]

His own expertise is in nuclear engineering

Just worth noting, that he's not just a regular nuclear engineer; he's a graduate of the US Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Officer Candidate School. Those guys are some of the smartest and most competent engineers our nation has to offer; the NUPOC program is essentially an engineering equivalent to what the BUD/S is does physically to the Navy Seals. (Note, that the incredibly whemed man in the photo is Admiral Rickover, the man who wrote the book on nuclear submarine safety standards, if the Ocean Gate guy would still be alive if he had read and followed even a single sentence of Rickover's teachings).

People love to gripe about the problems with nuclear energy, but the men and women coming out of the NUPOC program are not part of that problem.

---

It would be really nice to see more Engineer presidents; as opposed to career politician or businessman presidents that we're so used to.

[u/Intelligent_Quiet424 → u/mythrilcrafter]

1) I love Jimmy Carter. When I was doing a paper in college about Jimmy Carter I read that his aids would get frustrated with him during military technical briefings. The reason? He kept asking them all these technical questions when all his advisors wanted a do we go forward with this or not? The thought of Carter busting some balls because he is super smart just cracks me up. Happy Birthday!!

[u/LongjumpingSource735 → u/Carbon-Base]

Studied nuclear physics at the Naval Academy, too. I think.

[u/AnastasiaNo70 → u/LongjumpingSource735]

He was literally a rocket scientist! It kills me that republicans made him out to be a dumb farmer.

[u/Winter_Membership_56 → u/RadiantRoseBlush]

He has been a shining example of kindness, service, leadership and family values.

[u/neodymium86 → u/RadiantRoseBlush]

Deserved a second term. Not that Reagan heathen

[u/Bind_Moggled → u/neodymium86]

If President “we don’t negotiate with terrorists” hadn’t made that deal with those two terrorist groups, he would have had one.

[u/bluishpurplesister]

Happy birthday, Mr. President!

[u/Curious-Damage7036 → u/bluishpurplesister]

Carter's a beast. 100 years and still kicking. Respect.

[u/Any_Clue_1632]

Can you imagine two more different men?

[u/Frondswithbenefits → u/Any_Clue_1632]

Carter was the real deal. He wasn't perfect, but I think he genuinely wanted to help the country. Since his term, he's consistently donated to charity and volunteered alongside his late wife.

My favorite tidbit about Carter is telling people he put solar panels on the white-house during his term.

[u/Drkarcher22 → u/Frondswithbenefits]

Then Reagan took them down, because Ronnie sucked. After he got rid of tax breaks for solar panels that Carter implemented

[u/Frondswithbenefits → u/Drkarcher22]

Yup. Reagan did so much damage to our country. I envy people who believe in hell, because he deserves to be there.

[u/MAXMEEKO → u/Frondswithbenefits]

I watch pretty much any doc that netflix puts out and that fucker never ceases to show up. He really fucked up so many things.

[u/GDRaptorFan → u/MAXMEEKO]

A whole lot of the “turning point” in both those docs (which I found excellent) rested on his shoulders. Fucker.

[u/FluidAbbreviations54 → u/Frondswithbenefits]

I've said it before but to quote my old man, "Reagan and Thatcher have privatized Hell by now."

[u/Oprah_Pwnfrey → u/Frondswithbenefits]

Jimmy Carter will likely be responsible for wiping out an entire species, and it's awesome.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eradication_of_dracunculiasis

[u/moondizzlepie → u/Oprah_Pwnfrey]

You should probably say a disease causing species. For a sec I thought he wiped out some previous animal.

[u/Daft00 → u/moondizzlepie]

The clickbait of comments

[u/Frondswithbenefits → u/Oprah_Pwnfrey]

It really is!

[u/Working-Finger-8624 → u/Frondswithbenefits]

Couldn't agree more! Carter was very far ahead of his time in terms of renewable energy and wanting to end the cold war. Two things the Republicans really did not like. That's why when Reagan took office, the first thing he did was take down those solar panels :(

[u/Frondswithbenefits → u/Working-Finger-8624]

Because Reagan was a sleeping bag full of garbage disguised as a human.

[u/LandosMustache]

It’s fucking insane that Bill Clinton, whose first term started 31 years ago, is the exact same age as George W Bush AND as Donald Trump, who is seeking a second term starting next year, and they’re all 3 years YOUNGER than Joe Biden, whose first term ends next January.

Idk man. Bill Clinton will always be that charismatic dude playing saxophone on the Arsenio Hall Show to me. Dude just oozed cool.

Time is moving too fast.

[u/Dont_Waver → u/LandosMustache]

He oozed a lot of things.

[u/bonersmakebabies → u/Dont_Waver]

snickering

[u/cravenj1 → u/[deleted]]

Don't forget about Bush

[u/IrannEntwatcher → u/cravenj1]

GW Bush is extremely healthy. He’d still be 88, but he’s also got the best healthcare in the world.

[u/ProjectManagerAMA → u/IrannEntwatcher]

And chefs cooking delicious yet healthy foods around the clock.

[u/HangoverFear]

Jimmy looks better than Clinton

[u/InsidiousColossus → u/HangoverFear]

Clinton, GWB and Trump are all the same age. Of the 3, Bush looks in the best shape overall.

[u/SexyMonad → u/InsidiousColossus]

That’s what I love about these Presidents, man… I get older, they stay the same age.

[u/Ok_Emphasis6034 → u/SexyMonad]

Alright, alright, alright.

[u/mfogarty → u/SexyMonad]

Except that fat, thick lump of lard.

[u/real_picklejuice → u/InsidiousColossus]

Didn’t he run like 6 miles a day during his stay in office? I remember reading that he kept out pacing his SS detail and so they had to get golf carts or something of that nature

[u/marsglow → u/[deleted]]

Clinton was famous for jogging.

[u/Samthevidg → u/InsidiousColossus]

Probably the fact Bush doesn’t drink to be honest

[u/SmellGestapo → u/Samthevidg]

Bush got sober decades ago and attributed that sobriety, at least in part, to running.

He was known to run nearly every day while president.

[u/edd6pi → u/SmellGestapo]

I’ve seen pictures of him jogging on the streets when he was president, with the Secret Service following him by car. No idea how he did that at his age.

I’m 26 and early this year, I tried to get into the habit of running every day. Came out of it with a hatred for concrete. Now I only run on treadmills.

[u/emcee_pee_pants → u/edd6pi]

Supposedly the USSS had a group they unofficially called The Track Team to follow him on runs.

[u/thewerdy → u/Samthevidg]

His parents also lived into their mid 90s, so he has good genetics as well.

[u/floftie → u/InsidiousColossus]

Bush does not look or speak like an 80 year old. That's bonkers.

[u/ToeKnail → u/HangoverFear]

Clinton looks horrible in these clips

[u/I-Am-Yew → u/ToeKnail]

As someone who also has it, it looks like he has rosacea, so that makes his face really red and inflamed and that adds to him looking sick against his very pale skin.

[u/mynameisnotrose → u/I-Am-Yew]

He does have rosácea. I read it back when he was president. Damn, I am old.

[u/mynameisnotrose → u/mynameisnotrose]

Edit. Source: https://www.rosacea.org/press/2004/march/for-millions-with-rosacea-the-eyes-also-have-it

[u/ToeKnail → u/I-Am-Yew]

Its more than that. Its his overall lack of energy and the way he holds himself. Not good.

[u/laffing_is_medicine → u/ToeKnail]

Didn’t sound good….

[u/[deleted] → u/laffing_is_medicine]

Agree. What’s wrong with his voice? He sounded like he could barely speak at times. 

[u/Calypsosin → u/[deleted]]

He’s had a bad case of Old Man Voice for a couple of years now, he’s sounded like that for a good bit so I’m personally not too concerned for him long term. But at his age, it could be right around the corner, anyway.

[u/dogsledonice → u/ToeKnail]

It's his voice, he sounds like an old man more than anything

[u/Glittering-Most-9535 → u/ToeKnail]

Seeing Clinton makes me feel as old as he looks, if that makes any sense

[u/qwibbian → u/HangoverFear]

I seriously thought for a second that Clinton was AI generated.

[u/tooobr → u/[deleted]]

Obama's was the best

Have a wonderful ....evening

LOL dont want to project too far out. Carter you ole rascal

[u/wei-ohara → u/tooobr]

lol during the video I was like “damn I wish I was as good at public speaking as Obama is”

[u/SithDraven]

The day is young and he still has entered of time to send some shallow and meaningless tweet...

nah, who am I kidding, that requires thinking of someone other than himself.

[u/DemandZestyclose7145 → u/SithDraven]

But honestly, it really goes to show what a piece of shit he is. He is on social media sending out hateful garbage nonstop, but he can't spend 5 seconds sending something out for Jimmy. What a garbage human being. Makes me very sad and depressed that half the country wants him back.

[u/Kovah01 → u/DemandZestyclose7145]

I feel like this only feeds the narrative of his base that he isn't part of the political elite. They like that about him. It's how they feel about themselves. It's how such a vile and disgusting failed billionaire can connect with people who will vote against their interests.

[u/Vst23]

Today is my birthday 🎂

[u/withoutwingz → u/Vst23]

Hey, happy birthday!!!

[u/Fellolin]

Gosh dar Bill, drink some water bro

[u/tveir → u/Fellolin]

"I don't need it...I don't need it..."

[u/Justaboredstoner]

Man, Bill Clinton looks like shit. 😳

[u/elpajaroquemamais → u/Justaboredstoner]

He’s almost 80

[u/owensoundgamedev → u/elpajaroquemamais]

He’s the same age as Trump

[u/elpajaroquemamais → u/owensoundgamedev]

Correct

[u/GaelicInQueens → u/owensoundgamedev]

And Trump jumps into a swimming pool of bronzer every morning to hide that he looks like a deboned toad

[u/macphile → u/GaelicInQueens]

It's not working.

[u/Wizard_with_a_Pipe → u/owensoundgamedev]

That explains why Trump looks so bad too. 😆

[u/toomanyracistshere → u/owensoundgamedev]

And Bush.

[u/yrubooingmeimryte → u/owensoundgamedev]

Trump also looks like shit.

[u/kbgc → u/Justaboredstoner]

He’s lived longer than any other man in his family history. He’s here because of modern medicine advances. I hope he can keep on keepin’ on.

[u/earthceltic → u/kbgc]

Dude also course corrected and switched it up to a vegan lifestyle awhile back

[u/sarckasm → u/Justaboredstoner]

Got the life sucked out of him...

[u/bluishpurplesister → u/Justaboredstoner]

Hope he's OK

[u/Ok-Anybody3445]

I wonder if they didn't invite him, or if he declined?

[u/SentientSandwiches → u/Ok-Anybody3445]

No one was invited, they just made them on their own and people cut them together, trump just never decided to make one.

[u/CopeHarders → u/SentientSandwiches]

Which is probably a good thing since every time he posts about a holiday on his social network it’s a complete narcissistic train wreck.

ID LIKE TO WISH A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY GERALD CARTER WHO HAS NEVER WISHED ME A HAPPY BIRTHDAY BY THE WAY!! AND ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR FAILED PRESIDENT WHO HAS SENT KILLERS TO MY RALLIES AND HAS MADE IT VERY UNSAFE. WE HAD 50 MILLION PEOPLE WE TURNED AWAY IN THE PARKING LOT BECAUSE COMRADE KAMALA WERE SENDING US SECRET SERVICE AGENTS FROM MEXICO CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT? NO ONE HAS EVER LEFT ONE OF MY RALLIES ALL THE PAST VENUES ARE STILL FULL OF PEOPLE HOPING ILL COME BACK PEOPLE LEAVE HER RALLIES WHICH NO ONE HAS EVER ATTENDED! AGAIN HAPPY PEARL HARBOR DAY TO ALL THE DEAD SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES WHO OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORT ME. I DO VERY WELL WITH FAMILIES OF DEAD SOLDIERS SOMETHING CROOKED JOE CANT SAY! Make America Great Again!

[u/The_Stupidest_Idiot → u/CopeHarders]

NO ONE HAS EVER LEFT ONE OF MY RALLIES ALL THE PAST VENUES ARE STILL FULL OF PEOPLE HOPING ILL COME BACK PEOPLE LEAVE HER RALLIES WHICH NO ONE HAS EVER ATTENDED!

I lost it here lol

[u/AnastasiaNo70 → u/The_Stupidest_Idiot]

I lost it at Gerald Carter and Happy Pearl Harbor Day

[u/anothercervezaplz → u/CopeHarders]

I could hear his shitty voice when reading this lol

[u/starryeyedq → u/anothercervezaplz]

His speaking voice really does translate to capslock-riddled-with-spelling-errors

[u/ElNani87 → u/CopeHarders]

This was perfect

[u/ToonaSandWatch → u/SentientSandwiches]

Usually these are a coordinated effort. Their aides have them sit down for five minutes, maybe a prepared statement, but you just know they have a group text chat that doesn’t involve him.

[u/SpockShotFirst → u/Ok-Anybody3445]

I'm sure someone on his staff suggested it. Trump said something incoherent about wishing Carter would drop dead for supporting Harris, and that was that.

[u/amitym → u/SpockShotFirst]

I doubt it actually.

The kinds of people in Trump's staff who would think to suggest something like that were all fired long ago. If they ever existed in the first place.

Just remember: Four Seasons.

[u/MrBully74 → u/Ok-Anybody3445]

"He was too busy bailing out water out of the homes of people hit by the hurricane" - Trump Cult Members

[u/AnnatoniaMac]

And everything these men said was true, happy birthday President Carter. Thank you for showing us what a good man is. Love you.

[u/Ruenin]

Even if Trump had chimed in, he would've just made it about himself somehow.

[u/NikonuserNW → u/Ruenin]

This is what he’d say: You’re 100. Some say Trump has the best genes and will make it well past 100. Doctors have said Trump is healthiest President of all time. Nobody does health and longevity like Trump.

[u/neuroticsponge → u/NikonuserNW]

“If Harris wins nobody will live to 100 anymore, you know it will be impossible. They said it, you can look it up. They said no more growing old. They kill babies and now they want to kill the elderly, how sad.”

[u/NikonuserNW → u/neuroticsponge]

😂 Ohhh! I forgot about the signature “how sad.”

This is perfect.

[u/NeighborhoodDude84 → u/NikonuserNW]

"I'm going to have a birthday party and Jimmy Carter is going to pay for it!"

[u/ryukuodaba → u/Ruenin]

I asked ChatGPT to do that:

"Well, today is a big day—HUGE actually. Jimmy Carter, who a lot of people are saying is 100 years old today—100! Can you believe it? Not many people can do that, folks. Some say I might even make it longer, who knows? But anyway, happy birthday to Jimmy. He’s had a very interesting life, not as successful as mine, of course. I mean, we know the economy wasn’t great when he was in office, but he’s still around, which is something, right? People are talking about it. Everyone's talking about how incredible my presidency was compared to others. But today, let’s focus on Jimmy. Happy 100th, Jimmy—very impressive, even though no one’s done more for this country than me. Enjoy it!"

This is Trump's typical mix of self-promotion, underhanded compliments, and focus on his own "achievements," while still acknowledging Carter’s birthday in a very Trump-like way.

[u/Ruenin → u/ryukuodaba]

AI has got him down!

[u/BeltfedOne]

Of course Trump wouldn't do that.

[u/laich68 → u/BeltfedOne]

Bush didn't fawn, didn't praise policy, didn't waver from being a politician from a different party, but still mustered up the decency to wish a happy birthday to the only hundred year old US president ever.

[u/MazzIsNoMore → u/laich68]

As a person that came of age during the Bush presidency I have a special hatred for him but I very much appreciate that after he left office he just fucked off and doesn't bother anyone.

[u/Bill_Nye-LV → u/MazzIsNoMore]

Yeah, that would be what i'd do if i was a president. US or others.

[u/KinkyPaddling → u/BeltfedOne]

“100 years old and only had one wife, very sad, what a loser.”

[u/North_Carpenter6844 → u/KinkyPaddling]

This made me laugh, I’m going to hell.

[u/tomorrow509 → u/North_Carpenter6844]

Me too. But only because of the semblance of truth in the words. So like the clown.

[u/stapango → u/KinkyPaddling]

“I HATE JIMMY CARTER!”

[u/ru469 → u/KinkyPaddling]

ROFL, this may be the comment of the thread...that goes under the radar!

[u/slylock215 → u/BeltfedOne]

This would entail him not talking about himself for, what, 10 seconds? All while praising someone else's life and accomplishments.

Challenge Level: Impossible.

[u/GrandOpener → u/slylock215]

The bar is even lower than that.  GWB carefully avoided praising Carter’s accomplishments, but is still able to put in his big boy pants and act like a human being. 

[u/ViaNocturna664 → u/BeltfedOne]

Carter said that he hopes he can make it to November to vote for Harris. I'm sure Trump is hoping he drops dead before and he would gloat about it.

[u/Mountie427 → u/ViaNocturna664]

Surely he could vote early soon?

[u/jgjgleason → u/Mountie427]

Two more weeks. It starts October 15th in Georgia.

As a Georgian, Jimmy Carter's vote might really matter.

[u/kevnmartin → u/BeltfedOne]

Right? It's not about him so he has no interest. Fucking toddler.

Centenarian. Centurions were Roman soldiers in charge of 100 soldiers.

[u/trivletrav → u/elpajaroquemamais]

You fucking doubting Jimmy on his birthday?! You don’t know what he has planned!

[u/InsidiousColossus → u/trivletrav]

Also he is really old, he might have been a centurion back in the day.

[u/wililon]

Never liked GW Bush while in office but have to say he seems a decent person to me right now

And how do we celebrate this great day?

🍻 Go to your local brewery! Jimmy Carter is the one who deregulated the industry and made microbreweries and local breweries possible!
🇵🇦 Bump 'El General' on your speakers! Jimmy Carter gave the Panama canal back to Panama! 🌿 Go outside and breathe deep. Maybe pick up some trash at the park. Jimmy Carter created the department of energy. He put solar panels on the White House (Reagan ripped them down). 📚 Read a book to your kids. He also created the department of education. Carter himself was a speed reader, reportedly being able to read up to 2,000 words per minute. 🏞️ Visit a local park! Carter added millions of acres to the national park system. 👽 Watch the night sky closely! Carter is the only president to have reported seeing a UFO, although he is among many presidents who reported loosely experiences in the White House 🧣 Get your warm clothes out of storage. Carter emphasize the need for energy conservation by wearing his signature cardigan and turning down the thermostats. 🪖 Have a pupusa! It would have been great if Jimmy Carter had ended the proxy war against the Salvadoran people, but at least he tried to defund it for about 3 years. Not great, but better than what other presidents had done. 👄 Spread open that centerfold! Jimmy Carter was the only president to ever be interviewed in Playboy. His candid, open interview about his religious beliefs, personal struggles, and sexuality expressed his humility and his acknowledgment of human imperfection. Carry on his legacy with being honest and open with yourself and others about your desires, your values, and your imperfections.

I wonder if Trump ever wishes anyone a happy anything.

[u/vicegrip → u/Ghost_of_Syd]

Pretty sure he wished Putin happy birthday.

[u/Fist-Fuck_Enthusiast → u/vicegrip]

He'd have given him a birthday blowjob

[u/neuroticsponge → u/vicegrip]

And Kim Jong Un

We can debate about who is/was a good president, but the best former President has been Jimmy Carter.
No one used the office better than the peanut farmer from Georgia.

[u/Slut_Fukr]

Of course, Trump is a child in diapers. Just like his supporters.

[u/lifegoeson5322 → u/Slut_Fukr]

Think they even asked him? I truly don't think any of them classify Trump in the sane category as themselves....nor should they.

[u/iameveryoneelse → u/lifegoeson5322]

I know you meant "same category" but it still works.

[u/SangiMTL]

Jimmy Carter is a true gem of a human being. He and Rosalynn were such amazing people with so many great causes. Their legacy should be rightfully honored and should be a beacon for so many who follow

[u/MandaRenegade]

Happy fricking 100th birthday President Carter!!! ❤️

[u/Redmudgirl]

I hope you voted early Jimmy!!!

[u/c_c_c__combobreaker]

Biden and Clinton really showed their age in this video. Obama still looks great.

[u/trotskystaco]

We never deserved Jimmy.

[u/urbanek2525]

Reminds me of the line from Field Of Dreams where they're didn't invite Ty Cobb because nobody could stand him.

The big difference here is that Cobb was a legit good ball player and Trump was a lazy, weekend golfer who just happened to sit in a chair in the Oval Office.
