During a meeting with Italy’s PM, Donald Trump took a jab at the late President Jimmy Carter, saying, “Carter died a happy man… because Joe Biden was the worst president, not Obama.”
Trump’s remarks, comparing his trade record to past presidents, quickly turned personal—calling prior administrations “useless” and “incompetent.” The Carter comment sparked backlash online, with many calling it disrespectful.
Years earlier, Carter had criticized Trump, calling him “a disaster” in 2018—his only major public comment on Trump before his death.
