Jimmy Carter being set to lie in state on Tuesday was not enough to protect him from Donald Trump’s rage. The president-elect—as just part of a complaint-laden screed—slammed Carter in a news conference over his decades-old decision to relinquish control of the Panama Canal to Panama.
There were many reasons that Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter in 1980. The Panama Canal Treaty wasn’t among them.
President-elect Donald Trump on Sunday said the nation owes former President Jimmy Carter “a debt of gratitude.” In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump said the 39th president,
Under President Joe Biden’s proclamation, flags will be at half-staff until a week after Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration. Since ordering the flags lowered is a proclamation that a sitting president makes, Trump won’t be able to do anything about it until after he is inaugurated.
Trump has referenced the 39th president on multiple occasions, including on the latter's 100th birthday in October at a rally in Waunakee, Wisconsin. After calling Biden the worst U.S. president in history, he said that "Jimmy Carter is the happiest man because Jimmy Carter is considered a brilliant president by comparison."
President-elect Trump revealed he'd been invited and would be in attendance at the ceremony while speaking to reporters at a New Year's Eve party at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla., on Tuesday, Dec. 31, per the Associated Press.

President-elect Donald Trump said he plans to attend former President Jimmy Carter's funeral next week in Washington.
How inconsiderate of former President Jimmy Carter to not plan and schedule his death so as not to interfere with Donald Trump’s inauguration.
After Jimmy Carter's death Sunday at the age of 100, President-elect Donald Trump said "we all owe him a debt of gratitude."
At first, Jimmy Carter was a political wizard. But he couldn’t keep the magic act going.
