ATLANTA (AP) As Donald Trump campaigns for a return to the White House, he often reaches back more than 40 years and seven administrations to belittle President Joe Biden by comparing him to 99-year-old Jimmy Carter.
Most recently, Trump used his first campaign stop after the start of his criminal hush money trial in New York to needle the 46th president by saying the 39th president, a recently widowed hospice patient who left office in 1981, was selfishly pleased with Bidens record.
Biden is the worst president in the history of our country, worse than Jimmy Carter by a long shot, Trump said in a variation of a quip he has used throughout the 2024 campaign, including as former first lady Rosalynn Carter was on her deathbed. Jimmy Carter is happy, Trump continued about the two Democrats, because he had a brilliant presidency compared to Biden.

Its just a very dated reference, said pollster Zac McCrary, whose Alabama-based firm has worked for Biden. Its akin to a Democrat launching an attack on Gerald Ford or Herbert Hoover or William McKinley. It doesnt signify anything to voters except Trump taking a cheap shot at a figure that most Americans at this point believe has given a lot to his country and to the world.
