Jimmy Carter at Emory: I'd change all of Trump's policies if I were president again

What would Jimmy Carter do if he became president of the United States again?

Pretty much the opposite of what the current Oval Office occupant is doing.

“If I were foolish enough to feel I could be president again, I think the first thing I would do would be to change all of the policies that President Trump has initiated,” Carter, 93, said Wednesday night at Emory University. “I pray for him fairly regularly. If he answered my prayers, he’d have to change a lot of things.”

Carter’s comments, which came midway through his 37th annual Town Hall for first-year Emory students, sparked a standing ovation among about half the youthful crowd packed onto the bleachers in the Woodruff P.E. Center. Nor was it his only popular response during a nearly hourlong Q&A with some 1700 students who were young enough to be his grandchildren.
