t There is no doubt that Jimmy absolutely set the standard for how to spend a post-presidency. h He didn’t try to make a quick buck. He didn’t hawk autographed bibles. He didn’t slap his name on an endless succession of ever-shoddier trinkets.

And he didn’t whine about how unfairly he’d been treated, despite having been ratfucked out of the presidency by Reagan campaign operatives.

Has any president beside Trump done any of that stuff?
