Trump Hits Back At “Terrible President” Jimmy Carter

The Associated Press reports:

Donald Trump on Saturday dismissed former President Jimmy Carter’s swipe at the legitimacy of his presidency, calling it nothing more than a “Democrat talking point,” while offering his own digs at the 94-year-old Carter.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference in Japan, Trump said he was surprised by the former president’s comments alleging that Russian interference in the 2016 election was responsible for putting him in the White House. And he punched back — though with a somewhat muted response, at least for Trump.

“Look, he was a nice man. He was a terrible president. He’s a Democrat. And it’s a typical talking point. He’s loyal to the Democrats. And I guess you should be,” Trump told reporters, adding that, “as everybody now understands, I won not because of Russia, not because of anybody but myself.”
