#DonaldTrump reportedly buddied up to #BarackObama at #JimmyCarter's funeral, desperately pitching a plan for him to play at his #golf courses.

According to a bombshell new #book obtained by #Axios, #Trump spent #Carter's solemn memorial service in January "enticing" #Obama with descriptions of his courses worldwide, and begging his predecessor for an afternoon round. The conversation happened as the pair sat side by side.

"So what's changed? Part of it is the simple brazenness of Donald Trump, who's proved willing to flout norms and break laws here. And part of the blame lies with his enablers in the Republican-led Congress and Republican-led Supreme Court, which have both encouraged his grifting and greed and so much more.

But ultimately the blame lies with us."

"Jimmy Carter completely severed all his ties with his family business in order to serve as president. And when questions arose about his prior dealings there, the president readily opened the books to investigators and even sat for a four-hour sworn deposition. He knew the American people demanded nothing less than complete transparency."

Campaign Trails · Thieving, On a Jet PlaneEven more so than his exhausting first term, the second term of President Donald J. Trump has been a seemingly endless onslaught of outrages. There's so much incompetence, so much stupidity, so much criminality going on at any one moment that it's hard to think straight. It's more of a

So many factors to consider on top of Biden's age. It's petty and obvious that top Democrat pundits and donors are still trying to figure out the "why".

Try moving on?

#Felon47 (during meeting with Italian PM, responding to a reporter): "Jimmy Carter died a happy man. You know why? Because he was no longer the worst president." (referring to Biden)
😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬

#JimmyCarter was one of the kindest, most humanitarian leaders anywhere to exist, and a wonderful human being in general.

It figures that Felon 47 wouldn't respect someone with those qualities.

He couldn't even be decent enough not to speak ill of the dead. Even the mafia shunned that.

@jawarajabbi @georgetakei Well, I am a fan of PotUS #JimmyCarter (#Global2000) and a #Trekkie. I grew up in the belief that mankind could make great achievements in a collaborative manner, like a federation according to #GeneRoddenberry's utopy. I am agnostic. I can't say whether "all is lost". I hope, it's not the case. But I am much in favor that #Europe with #France, #UK,#Poland and #Germany gets well prepared to withstand the pressing sandwich situation between #Trump's #US and #Russia.
