Jimmy Carter: The ‘Carter for President’ poster and his wife, Bruce Meredith, with the Capitol Rotunda during his 80th birthday
The handwritten ‘Carter for President’ poster that Prolman made nearly 50 years ago is on display outside the Capitol. The peanuts were hand-drawn, a nod to his time as a peanut farmer.
All four living former presidents are expected to be in attendance at Carter’s funeral, including President-elect Donald Trump, who takes office in less than two weeks. Carter lost his 1980 reelection bid due to his decision to relinquish control of the Canal Zone in Panama, Trump argued during a recent news conference.
Millions of people around the world feel like they lost a friend even though they never met Jimmy Carter, according to Biden. Jimmy Carter lived his life by his actions, not by words.
“Nobody wants to talk about the Panama Canal now because, you know, it’s inappropriate, I guess,” Trump said. “Because it’s a bad part of the Carter legacy.”
“He was a good man. I knew him a little bit, and he was a very fine person, but that was a big mistake,” Trump added. On Wednesday, the president-elect and his wife, former first lady, paid their respect to Carter who was lying in state at the Capitol Rotunda. Trump told reporters they had met the Carter family earlier in the day.
“I view him as a really good man, high moral values” Washington, D.C., resident Bruce Meredith said as he got in line. He was a public servant. He gave all he had to the country. That is the reason I respect him so much.
