I would say the liberal news agencies are being seen as fake news by even some Democrats when former President Jimmy Carter speaks up against them.

Jimmy Carter, the liberal 93-year-old former president, surprisingly sided with President Trump when he told The New York Times that the media have been been too hostile on the current commander-in-chief.


?I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I've known about,? Carter told The New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. The 39th president served one term from 1977 to 1981.

Carter added that he thought the media ?feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.?


The former president also pushed back on accusations of Russian collusion in the 2016 presidential election, saying: ?I don't think there's any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes.? He said his wife, Rosalynn, disagreed with him, before he added, ?We voted for [Bernie] Sanders? in the primary.

Trump: I doubt I'd be here if it weren't for social media

Carter also doesn't believe the current president's ?America First? strategy is out of step with the larger world, spoiling international relations. ?Well, he might be escalating it but I think that precedes Trump,? he told the Times. ?The United States has been the dominant character in the whole world and now we're not anymore. And we're not going to be. Russia?s coming back and India and China are coming forward.?

Carter also said he's willing to go to North Korea on a diplomatic mission amid the escalating tensions over nuclear weapons.

?I don't know what they'll do,? he said of North Korea. ?Because they want to save their regime. And we greatly overestimate China?s influence on North Korea. Particularly to Kim Jong Un. He?s never, so far as I know, been to China.?

He called the North Korean dictator ?unpredictable.?

In September, Carter expressed optimism that Trump might break a legislative logjam with his six-month deadline for Congress to address the immigration status of 800,000-plus U.S. residents who were brought to the country illegally as children.


Carter told Emory University students that the ?pressures and the publicity that Trump has brought to the immigration issue? could even yield comprehensive immigration law changes that Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama could not muster.

He blamed both major parties for an inability to pass any major immigration law overhaul since a 1986 law signed by President Ronald Reagan.

?I don't see that as a hopeless cause,? Carter said. He added that Trump?s critics, including himself, ?have to give him credit when he does some things that are not as bad? as they are depicted.
 
LAST EDITED ON Oct-23-17 AT 11:49AM (MST)[p]No I'd just say he calls it the way it is. Please tell Cuban to run I wanna watch him get ripped to shreds. Either way 2020 is gonna be another landslide.

Bernie Sanders has stated he will run as a "Independent" candidate. I guess he no longer trusts the Democrat party to play fair with him. If he does, that will take a large percentage of votes away from the Democrat party candidate.

Whines, care to bet on Trump winning in 2020 ? let's go, we can make it for however many weeks of lunch money you're willing to sacrifice.

We will send the cash to a 3rd party for holding. Stoney proved what kind of people we're dealing with here there will be no more of that.

Name it chump, I'm ready.

Dude Whines won't pay you, I don't believe the kid is right in the head. Much like Dotard, Stoner, Whines, 264 these people have no honor. RELH, Glenn, Elkass wrong in thoughts but honest in nature. IMO

By the way Whines my number of post comes from the length of time with the same screen name. If memory serves me correctly I believe I was 536 on Founders little site. I believe it was some early battles between RELH and myself that led to the Political Forum.

Is a landslide in an election when you lose the popular vote and yet win?
 
Cornhusker if the Democrats would quit bussing voters to different precincts to vote 2-4 times, they may not have that popular vote. Don't tell me they do not do it. Mafia Don Sam Giacanna bragged he did that with union voters in the 60's for JFK's election and it still goes on today.
The big reason the Democrats are against any bill requiring voter identification.

LMAO at Corntard being the MM character judge. What an idiot! I thought FTW was the one who got this forum started? You libtards sure like to toot your own horn, but here's a little clue... Nobody gives a ##### what little influence you MIGHT have had on this forum being created. You're not famous and you never will be retard! Isn't it time for you to sing Mary Had a Little Lamb with the 5 year olds?
 
I'd like to be pimps from oakland or cowboys from arizona but your throwing up a hail mary in the first quarter Ocho. Let's see if he wants to run first. I'll bet you a republican wins how bout that. I wouldn't want to rob you of your money the cardboard box you live in is gonna need shingles soon.

RELH Believe what you want after this many years I can't teach you much or you convince me of much either. Both parties are corrupted, unlike you I am not a partisan hack who blows the horn of one party in particular. I can just see right now that we have the most morally corrupt Dotard in charge of this nation for awhile in our history.

Whines at least you learned the walkback from Dotard.
 
Cornhusker there is no way you can convince us you are not a party hack for the Democrats. Your posts tell us who you support.
Bottom line Trump is not the perfect president and makes many mistakes, but he is a far better choice then what the Democrats tried to shove down our throats. Hillary is a outright crooked person with no morals and will do ANYTHING to keep a position of power and money.
In my opinion she is one of the most crooked persons walking around and not in prison. She even tried to buy the election with the help of other crooked Democrats. If Trump does not have the FBI go after her and Bill and several other crooked Democrats, I will hold that against him for having no brass ones and doing what is right to defer future crooked politicians from repeating Hillary's actions.
Yes there is crooks in both parties. I would love to see a FBI sting operation where they can entice members of Congress into accepting bribes and end up arresting a bunch of them. I do not care what party they are from, just get rid of the bad ones in both parties.

.

The orange gong gobblers have as much confidence in Trump as they do their own opinions. ZERO . putting their money where their stretched out mouths are is just not going to happen.
