Living US Presidents React to Death of Former President Jimmy Carter
Former US Presidents have begun to pay tribute to their fellow leader Jimmy Carter, who passed away at the age of 100. Barack Obama, in a statement on Twitter, praised Carter’s commitment to living a life of “grace, dignity, justice, and service.” He noted that Carter’s “choice” to prioritize these values had a profound impact on his presidency and beyond.
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of former President Jimmy Carter,” Obama tweeted. “He was always guided by a fierce commitment to justice, equality, and compassion for all people. Whenever I had a chance to spend time with him, it was clear that he didn’t just profess these values – he embodied them.”
Obama added, “He made that choice again and again over the course of his 100 years, and the world is better for it. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to the Carter family, and everyone who loved and learned from this remarkable man.”
In a separate statement on X, Obama shared another quote by Carter, where he said “God gives us the capacity for choice. We can choose to alleviate suffering. We can choose to work together for peace.” He concluded his tribute by expressing gratitude towards God, stating that Carter’s life was an embodiment of God’s love and compassion.
Joe Biden also issued a statement praising Carter’s character and leadership. He noted that it was an “honor” to have had the opportunity to know the former President and his wife Rosalynn, whom he described as a “true partner.” He expressed gratitude towards their unwavering commitment to peace and justice.
President-elect Trump took a different approach in his tribute, sharing a post on Truth Social where he acknowledged Carter’s difficulties during his presidency. Nevertheless, he emphasized that the former leader did everything within his power to improve the lives of all Americans.
As tributes continue to pour in from other leaders around the world, it is clear that Jimmy Carter’s legacy extends far beyond the borders of the United States.
