Carter and Trump could hardly have been more different and, despite the president-elect’s gracious tribute on Sunday, swapped fierce public criticism.
Trump, meanwhile, often mocked Carter on the campaign trail this year – lampooning him as the worst president in history bar one, President Joe Biden.
While Carter tried to reintroduce humility to the presidency, Trump sees the office as furnishing almost unchecked power.
Carter pledged to never tell a lie, while Trump made a political career by shredding truth.
