From what I hear yes.

Carter was a peanut farmer and Biden was...well...

This is worse than Carter. Biden creates crisis, Carter couldn't manage crisis.

My grandfather thinks this is worse and probably going to get worse than it already is.

Not nearly that bad yet.

However, it has potential to be much worse.

Other than I thought Jimmy was a good guy, really liked him, but he was lead by emotion, and that ended up making him one of the worst Presidents in our history. He was so weak, and everything he touched turned to crap, and that’s the honest truth, even though he’s really a great guy and humanitarian. Leadership just wasn’t his thing...Biden is the same, just a sleazball, pedophile, extortionist....and not a leader...

Carter wasn't this bad, as a person I mean. I never believed Carter was evil. This bunch is pure evil. Carter was actually an honest man with integrity. Biden and this bunch are corrupt scum. Carter was just totally inept. He reacted to problems and usually made them worse. Biden causes problems and like I said is an evil, corrupt pos.

Jimmy Carter didn't have a screw loose and he had honor and integrity even if he was weak and ineffectual.

It's worse than Carter in several ways. One of the main ones is at least Carter actually won his term, Bidens term is a stolen, illegitimate farce

Only thing is that I'm not certain on is how the media handled Carter then.
Did they pander to him the entire 4 years?

Carter, had a brother named Billy who pushed his Billy beer.

Biden, has a son named Hunter who sits on boards making money with limited experience.

Carter was well intentioned, he was just in over his head. The Iran hostage crisis did him in.

When Inflation gets really cooking, interest rates shoot up to 18-21% to buy a home, and third-world countries no longer fear us, then Biden will be worse. Until then, he's just inept and tone deaf.

The whitewashing of Carter is ridiculous

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.

No. The media wasn't like it is now. Not nearly as bad.

Not yet but headed there quickly...

Carter:
Gas prices at all time highs
Lost all international respect - Iran Hostage crisis
Inflation was really bad.
The Misery Index
Consumer Confidence at horrible lows.
NO Jobs
Car loans were 15-22% interest
Credit card interest was 20%

Just to name a few...

12% interest rates on homes and cars meant excellent credit. Everyone knew they license plate number because that’s how you were able get gas.
