Who told you Jimmy Carter was a bad president?
I told myself that after looking at history.
Who wrote the history, and who created the circumstances around Carter?
Lots of different people. Lots of other people. I know Carter didn't come to be president in a vacuum, but, he was weak as a president, in a bad way. (a weak president can be a generally good thing if it means less laws are enacted, in total. )
My impression is he was subverted much like Grant

You might say for the same reason as trump
