If so, that only means that Iran becomes even more of a white whale than it already was. 47 years, this time; much less, next time.

Get his name out of your mouth. They are about as opposite as they can be. One was a decent and intelligent man taking over under difficult circumstances, and not making them as much better as people hoped. The other is vicious and stupid, who bad-mouthed a basically functioning economy and made it instantly worse.

Carter's reputation only improves over time. Trump's will become worse and worse, until we're left wondering how he could possibly have been elected when everybody swears they didn't vote for him.

One was badmouthed by the media incessantly. The other has spent his term letting his friends buy the media, immediately driving out his opponents.

No. Do not even type that name in this context.


The media as a whole would never pin a failure like that on any Republican president, much less Trump. Pure fantasy.
