Former President Jimmy Carter suggested he thinks President Trump is a “jerk.”
During an interview Friday on CBS’s “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert, Carter was asked if he thinks the U.S. wants a “jerk” for president.
“Apparently, from this recent election year. I never knew it before,” Carter quipped.
The 93-year-old told Colbert that “to tell the truth” is one characteristic any president should have, adding that his mind was changed lately in a subtle nod to the Trump presidency.
Colbert also asked the one-term Democratic president if he would run in 2020, to which Carter said he thinks 93 “is the age limit.”
Discussing his new book, Faith: A Journey For All, Carter said he prays for President Trump often. “I pray that he will be a good president and that he will keep our country at peace and that he will refrain from using nuclear weapons and that he will promote human rights,” Carter said.
