Sadly, it looks like we will be saying goodbye to President Carter fairly soon.

A very fine POTUS indeed who did a great deal for America's less privileged. but who will be remembered mainly for the failed rescue of the American embassy hostages in Iran. It's a great shame as the man had nothing to do the nuts and bolts of the mission; it was due to the astonishing internecine squabbling between branches of the US military, that caused the mission to fail! In effect pilots were sent on the mission who were totally inexperienced in that type mission whereas pilots with years of experience in such missions were sidelined due to the arrogance and glory seeking of one branch of the US military over another!

President Carter has worked; physically worked, into his 90s, helping to build homes for America's underprivileged. I don't think Trump would ever lift a little finger to help anyone but himself, in fact the Trump family stole money that had been donated to his 'charitable foundation' resulting in him being banned from having such a foundation in New York!
