President-elect Donald Trump has posted a heartfelt response to the news of former President Jimmy Carter’s death.
Carter passed away in his Georgia home on Sunday at 100 years old.
The former peanut farmer had been in hospice care for approximately a year and was surrounded by family when he passed.
Trump responded to the news in a post on Truth Social, honoring Carter for doing “everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans.”
Trump wrote:
I just heard of the news about the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Those of us who have been fortunate to have served as President understand this is a very exclusive club, and only we can relate to the enormous responsibility of leading the Greatest Nation in History.
The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude.
Melania and I are thinking warmly of the Carter Family and their loved ones during this difficult time. We urge everyone to keep them in their hearts and prayers.
The Empire State Building will be lit in red, white and blue on Sunday night “to honor the life and legacy” of Carter.
The American flag at the White House is currently flying at half-staff.
“Today, America and the world lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian,” Joe Biden said in a statement. “Over six decades, we had the honor of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well.”
