Does America want a jerk president? Apparently, says Jimmy Carter who ‘prays’ for Donald Trump

 

During an appearance on ‘The Late Show’, host Stephen Colbert asked the 93-year-old former president whether America wants ‘kind of a jerk as president’

Carter, 93, was there in to talk about his new book, Faith: A Journey for All, but host Stephen Colbert clearly had other subjects on his mind.

For example, Colbert brought up Carter’s good works as an ex-president, and then suggested he might have been too good a guy while in the Oval Office.

“Were you too nice to be president?” Colbert asked.

“Does America want kind of a jerk as president?”

“Apparently, from this recent election year,” Carter answered.

“I never knew it before.”

But Carter also said he is praying for Trump.

“I pray that he’ll be a good president and that he’ll keep our country at peace and refrain from using nuclear weapons,” Carter said.

“And that he’ll support human rights. So yeah, I pray for him.”

“Do you think your prayers are being answered?” Colbert asked. Carter responded by repeating something he said he’d heard his former pastor say:

“When you pray, God has one of three answers: ‘Yes, no and you’ve got to be kidding/”

“Not sure which one it is yet,” Carter said.

Colbert ended the interview by suggesting that the former one-term president and Georgia governor could have one more campaign left in him: Against Trump.

“Here you go, young man,” Colbert said, handing Carter a T-shirt that bore the slogan: “Carter 2020: Still Constitutionally Eligible.”
