Jimmy Carter’s presidency didn’t go well. Some of us are even old enough to remember that. Others of us just realize that history didn’t start when Obama ascended to his golden throne and told the oceans to stop rising.
Gas lines, anyone? Remember that? Unemployment? The sorry state of the States after Carter’s first failed four years is the REASON Ronald Reagan gave that Morning in America speech. It’s the REASON it worked. (Also Carter’s terrible term was the reason for his OWN famous “Malaise” speech.)
Today, following the SHOCKINGLY bad jobs report, Donald Trump Jr. referenced that in what was frankly a very clever tweet.
Biden isn’t the next FDR he’s the next Jimmy Carter.

The libs, of course, had a million cows about it. Which by the way isn’t great for the environment I hear.
Well in fact they got SO upset it caused a trending topic. And not just any old regular trending topic, but the kind with one of those little “curated” pages and a Twitter written description.
Y’all America is suffering from a pandemic alright. A pandemic of absolutely total and asinine stupidity.
I was just about to tweet this.
Carter was a shit president. Nobel Prizes don't change that. Nor does his charity work.
As president, Carter was a disaster. https://t.co/zfVOFWs4Fo

Twitter either making its pro-Dem propaganda even less subtle or too stupid to know facts of absolutely abysmal economic situation of country during Carter's presidency. Tip for the young reporters: those real-life econ woes caused major probs for your favored political party! pic.twitter.com/eGnFIHEXXd

Even Nevertrump’s got in on the dunking.

We just don’t do facts anymore in America do we?
Jimmy Carter is a nice man but he wasn't a good President. Clearly that's what Don Jr. was talking about. Anyone remember the Misery Index? Carter used it against Ford in 1976 but did nothing to reduce America's misery. Then Reagan used it against Carter in 1980, and fixed it. pic.twitter.com/LbxeOXE1Dr

Anyone who is supposedly "confused," by my below tweet should probably read the awful Biden job report out today, then take a peek at the rising prices of raw materials that we're seeing and then finally google "Jimmy Carter inflation"….Things will make a lot more sense to you! https://t.co/ZJ6142EJIE pic.twitter.com/77bqHP2ubh

It gets harder every day to imagine how we get through the next four years. Or the next year even.
Of course if Parler were working properly, and parleys were embeddable, that would probably help. DON’T YOU THINK??
