Deceased President Jimmy Carter feuded with multiple presidents after he left office, including former President Bill Clinton.

Carter, who served as the 39th president of the United States and advocated for a "competent and compassionate" government, died at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 100.

Over the course of his lifetime, Carter had a difficult relationship with the multiple presidents that followed his administration, including one incident with former President Bill Clinton when he celebrated a diplomatic achievement on CNN before first meeting with Clinton to share the news.

"Three months later, Mr. Clinton sent Mr. Carter to Haiti along with two other emissaries who together forced a military junta to surrender power and accept American troops," according to The New York Times. "But once again, when Mr. Carter returned to Washington he went on CNN before meeting Mr. Clinton for breakfast and a planned joint news conference. Mr. Clinton was furious and shouted. Mr. Carter shouted back."

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Didn't Carter make a deal with North Korea that pissed Clinton off? BTW, would have been fun listening to Bill and Jimmy in a pissing match yelling at each other.

I don’t like speaking ill of a dead person before they’re even in the ground; but I’ve had a feeling in recent days that history is going to have some issues with the ‘saintly’ aura around Carter.

Jimmy Carter was a POS when he was alive. The fact that he died does not change that.

"competent and compassionate"

That is how he viewed himself, not how others viewed him.
