I strongly recommend you read the post by Kai Bird, a Jimmy Carter biographer, at The Nation. It has lots of interesting tips for the incumbent including:
- Never promise to never tell a lie.…
- While we’re on the subject, don’t try to balance the federal budget.…
- Realize that trying to make the US broker peace between Israelis and Palestinians will cost you politically. …
- It’s OK to put solar panels on the White House. But if, like Carter, you try to impose a windfall profits tax on the oil companies, know they will hire thousands of lobbyists to destroy your congressional agenda. Ditto Big Tech. So prepare for a big fight.
I especially agree with this one:
Don’t hire a prickly Polish aristocrat who obsesses about the Russians to be your national security adviser.…
That pertains to all foreign policy advice. Even experts have interests and agendas and their interests and agendas may not be yours let alone those of the American people.
But this one is foolish:
Don’t spend more time on foreign policy than on domestic affairs.
Devoting more time to foreign policy is part of the job description. It’s more than just a nuisance as is being the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. Vetoing legislation is part of the job description; proposing legislation isn’t.
My tip:
Stop being a pedophile, or at least, keep your creepy lust private. Also, burn your stash of little girl’s panties.
(Jimmy Carter was/is not a pedophile, and despite his Playboy interview, he was/is not a sexual predator.)
Back in the mid ‘70’s the media assured us that Carter was not long for this world.
It seems science had determined that facial symmetry was linked to longevity. Carter’s image failed the test.
Any day now………….
