re: Older folks: is this what Carter was like?

Yes, he was heavily involved in charity later in life and that's admirable. He was also a complete dick to people while in office and two-faced, per a ton of accounts of people who were on his detail, worked in the WH, etc. Plenty of books and writings about his time in the WH and what a douche he was to people.

Based on books by former Secret Service agents Carter was second only to LBJ in abusive treatment of the agents. Even long after he left the WH getting assigned to Carter’s protective detail was considered a punishment by the agents. That being said, Carter was far more intelligent than Biden even before Biden went into mental decline, but his policies were just as devastating to the country.
