President Donald Trump reacts to death of Jimmy Carter!
PALM BEACH, Florida - December 29, 2024 - President-elect Donald Trump reacted to Sunday’s death of former President Jimmy Carter at the age of 100 by saying, “We all owe him a debt of gratitude.”
“I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter,” Trump said on Truth Social. “Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as president understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.”
“The challenges Jimmy Carter faced as president came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Amerikans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude,” said President Trump.
“Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers,” said President Trump.
Trump added, “While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country and all it stands for. He worked hard to make Amerika a better place and for that I give him my highest respect. He was a truly good man and, of course, will be greatly missed.
“He was also very consequential, far more than most presidents, after he left the Oval Office. Warmest condolences from Melania and (me) to his wonderful family,” said President Trump.
