New in PJ Media:
We all know the establishment media narrative: whatever his faults, Old Joe Biden is an affable, decent, all-around good fellow, while Donald Trump is arrogant, mean, nasty, and corrupt. This is not true and was never true of either man, and on Sunday, their reactions to the death of their predecessor Jimmy Carter once again showed the truth about each of them.
Trump, displaying the genuine decency that won him the respect and affection of so many Americans over the last eight years, wrote gracious words about Carter and his disastrous presidency:
I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.
The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.
Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers.
Trump added:
President Jimmy Carter is dead at 100 years of age. While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for. He worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect. He was a truly good man and, of course, will be greatly missed. He was also very consequential, far more than most Presidents, after he left the Oval Office. Warmest condolences from Melania and I to his wonderful family!
In stark contrast to this, Biden made his statement about Carter all about two people who weren’t necessary to involve at all: himself and Donald Trump. Even when he praised Carter and echoed the general exaggerated praise for the late president’s fundamental decency, Biden couldn’t help but be self-aggrandizing and indulge his longstanding habit of putting himself in the center of every situation with yet another tall tale.
Speaking from St. Croix, where he is (you guessed it) once again on vacation, Old Joe said: “I’ll always be proud to say that — he used to kid me about it — that I was the first national figure to endorse him in 1976 when he ran for president. And there was an overwhelming reason for it: his character.” Was Biden really the first national figure to endorse Carter for president? Maybe, but this story sounds suspiciously like so many others in which Old Joe puts himself in the middle of history: he has lied about getting arrested agitating for civil rights, getting arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela in prison, and so very much more.
There is more. Read the rest here.

He was a rotten fink not a “truly good man”
somehistory says
The psychopath sees everything as Me, Me. Me. It’s all about “me.” that’s biden.
The person of normal personality, having concern for the rights, feelings and needs of others, will keep his thoughts on “them,” “her, him,”…..
biden is despicable We have all been exposed to his indecency. Esp little girls..
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
Judging by his words and actions, Biden is a somewhat demented psychopath.

The guy who allegedly sexually assaulted Tara Reade, and openly smelled the hair of women he had no relationship w/, and who otherwise behaved in a very creepy way w/ women and kids has the gall to suggest that Trump learn decency from Jimmy Carter
