Former President Jimmy Carter broke away from his own party, coming to President Donald Trump’s defense and saying, “The media have been harder on Trump than any other president.”
In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times published on Saturday, Carter seemed to ally himself with Trump, criticizing the media for its coverage of the new administration.
“I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about,” Carter told The Times. “I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”
