Jimmy Carter on Donald Trump
← Back to Donald Trump ProfileSpeaking to the House of Lords in 2016, Jimmy Carter surprisingly stated he'd prefer Trump over Cruz for president, citing Trump's perceived malleability.
“I think I would choose Trump, which may surprise some of you, but the reason is Trump has proven already that he's completely malleable. I don't think he has any fixed opinions that he would really go to the White House and fight for. Ted Cruz is not malleable. He has far right-wing policies, in my opinion, that would be pursued aggressively if and when he would become president.”
Within a broader discussion potentially touching on various topics (A through Z), C highlights perceived media bias and excessive criticism directed towards President Trump, particularly concerning his mental state.
“I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about, I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”
