Later, Trump wrote that although he “strongly” disagreed with Carter philosophically and politically, he understood that the former president “truly loved and respected” the United States and everything it stood for.
He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I have the utmost respect for him. He was a genuinely good man, and of course he will be sorely missed. He was also very consistent, much more so than most presidents, after he left the Oval Office
