PLAINS, GA—In a rare interview with the media from his tiny dollhouse living room, former president Jimmy Carter expressed hope that he will no longer be considered the worst presidential failure in his lifetime.
“I’ve been seen as one of the worst modern presidents for a long time,” said Carter, “but something tells me my luck is about to change. I’m not sure what it is, really, but the last few months or so have me thinking that I’ll no longer be considered in last place– and that’s a great feeling.”
Carter didn’t name names or say why he feels this way, only that “it feels good to finally be in second-to-last place.”
Some have suggested Biden may now be considered the worst president due to unspeakable damage his policies have done to the economy, the Middle East, and people’s hopes for the future.
Others have suggested Trump should be considered the worst president ever due to the fact that he’s literally Hitler and his skin is orange.
In honor of Jimmy Carter’s accomplishment, local Democrat leaders will be throwing him a “not last place” party.
Go here to read the rest. If you really botch at being President it is a great blessing to live for another four decades and pray that a worse incompetent than you is elected.
“Inflation is our nation’s number-one problem, yet most people don’t even understand it. But it’s really quite simple: Inflation is caused by too many dollars chasing too few goods. Now, the easiest way to get money out of circulation is to maintain high unemployment, so people won’t have jobs and money to spend. This is a program my administration has actively pursued. Yet, inflation continues to rise. So, tonight, I’m proposing a new program, one which will call on all Americans to sacrifice again… but which, however, will have immediate effect. I’m asking each and every American to take 8% of your money and burn it! Now, I know — I know you may be saying, ‘Why, that sounds crazy, Jimmy!’ But if all of us burn 8% of our money, less money will be in circulation, and in no time at all, prices will hopefully go down. So you’ll be able to save MORE of your money for future burnings.”
