Image Credit: Getty Images The United States now has a smaller line of living former presidents following the death of Jimmy Carter. The late politician and humanitarian served as the country’s 39th president and lived a full century before dying. Now that Carter is no longer with us, the current living presidents are Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden.
Biden paid tribute to Carter in an official public statement, describing the late Democrat with “great character and courage, hope and optimism.”
Former President Obama and his wife, Former First Lady Michelle Obama, honored Carter in a statement via social media, which read, “President Carter taught all of us what it means to live a life of grace, dignity, justice, and service.”
Trump also paid tribute to Carter by taking to Truth Social. The Republican pointed out, “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,” Trump added in his statement. “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.”
