In Japan, Trump calls Jimmy Carter a ‘terrible president’ and says Kamala Harris got ‘too much credit’ in debate

OSAKA, Japan — President Trump responded Saturday to criticism from former president Jimmy Carter by calling him a “terrible president” and asserted that Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) got “too much credit” for her debate performance following two days of intensive meetings with foreign leaders here.

Trump mocked Carter — who a day earlier suggested his presidency was illegitimate because of Russian interference in the 2016 election — as a “nice man” who was “trashed by his own party.”

“Russia, Russia, Russia,” Trump said in an exasperated tone during a news conference at the end of the Group of 20 summit. “He’s a Democrat and that’s a typical talking point.”
