- The former US President Jimmy Carter has died aged 100. He died at home in Plains, Georgia. His son said he was "a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love”.
A former peanut farmer, Jimmy Carter became president in the turbulent aftermath of the Watergate scandal, promising never to lie to the American people.
On the international stage he helped broker an historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. However he struggled to deal with the Iran hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
After a single term in office, he was swept aside by Ronald Reagan when he won just six states in the 1980 election.
After leaving office Jimmy Carter became a campaigner for international peace, the environment and human rights, for which he was recognised with a Nobel Peace prize.
The longest-lived president in US history, he celebrated his 100th birthday in October 2024.

He now rests with Rosalynn, with Walter, and the other amazing people in his life that have passed. Rest in peace, Mr. President.
With Ford , Reagan , Bush Sr also
With sinwar also
he was a good man RIP legend.
Walter you mean Cronkite
Jimmy Carter was the worst USA president who created Islamic terrorist in Iran and Middle East.
If only today's politicians... we're as decent as Jimmy Carter.
good thing we have trump and kamala they seem really geniune 😂
Jimmy was a great man and greater former president. While being a mediocre President. Decent doesn't make a great US President. Decent makes a great man and ambassador for good causes. But for a US President, decent got him voted out.
Carter could not live to see DONALD SECOND COMING!....It would be too PAINFUL.
Carter did his very best..... he was an exceptional human being!
@@odanedmcdonald I would argue that it wasn't decency that got him voted out, but the decisions of his predecessors. The Iran hostage crisis was ultimately a product of decades of US foreign policy, and inflation during his time was ultimately a product of America's support for Israel during one of its many wars with Middle East nations, resulting in the OPEC boycott. The hard truth is that both of these things would have happened no matter who was president. The fact is that Carter was president at an unlucky time, while Reagan was president at an extremely lucky time. Had the two presidents served in opposite terms, it's very likely that Jimmy Carter would be viewed with the same reverence as Teddy Roosevelt or FDR, whereas Reagan would probably be viewed as one of the worst presidents in American history.
Yes agree
The democrats today are shameless
Making it to 100 is incredible
I was fortunate to meet Jimmy Carter in Ghana where he was involved in driving the Guinea Worm eradication Programme. He was awesome in helping to achieve this goal. I have enormous respect for him. May he rest in peace
I suppose he became wiser after realising his biggest human tragedy in Iran, by his words say “ The Shah must go”???!! Shah went and Khomeini came, Ayatollahs the Godfather’s of all the hardline Islamist now even spreading through the Western democratic countries. Sadly too late for jimmy Carter to try to mend unmendable!!??
he was him self a worm
@Stracciways23 The ability to speak does not make you intelligent
@Stracciways23 and you are an IDIOT
Bullshit
I remember him negotiating a peace treaty in Bosnia Herzegovina, saving hundreds of lives.
And messed up the Middle East for 46 years!
But he got Millions in the Middle East! Only in last 46 years!
can anyone here tell me about the Turkish pie and wheat status in Posavina?
By traiting the Shah of Iran
that president is a man of peace
He wasn’t the best president but he was an excellent humanitarian. He’s with the Lord now, may he rest in peace.
He messed up the Middle East for 46 years, and he lost Panama Canal
He wasnt a bad president at all.
@@NimaJafariS24U giving the Panama Canal back was and still is a noble thing to do. The US has benefited so much by having Panama as an ally.
Also, I guess you are siding with the Shah. Do you support the atrocities of the SAVAK?
Presidents are always trapped in the context of their times they get to live in
@@MarinaE-mo2wy In terms of foreign policy, he was terrible!
He lost to Reagan because he was a man of peace in a world of war.
And now his party has become the party of war.
Reagan understood peace is expensive. "Peace through strength"
Big Oil told Reagan to remove the Carter Solar panels...
Hilarious. Nothing to do with his weakness and economic failures then?
No he was a terrible president who was kicked out of office in a landslide
Lesson: you can still be impactful after retirement
Good point.
The last honest and decent president. Rest in peace.
Bill Clinton is still alive
@@anthonyhall7048 Is it decent and honest to get a bj from your assistant on the tax payers dollar then lie to congress about it under oath? I guess there's a different standard these days.
@@anthonyhall7048😂😂
I did not have Se×u@1 assult with that woman @@anthonyhall7048

A remarkable man. If anyone could do a quarter of what he did after serving in office...they would be remarkable. A quiet hero.
R.I.P Jimmy Carter you were a good and honest man.
A dignified man. Even in defeat. 😢
Jimmy Carter was a True Fellow Christian of God. I always Respected him when he cared for the poor, the weak, the homeless, the vulnerable, the sick and the widow. He fought for World Peace in a world of war. My Deepest Blessings to Jimmy's family and friends throughout the years.
Rest in peace president jimmy Carter. He will be remembered.
Sending love and appreciation for this remarkable man. A true humanitarian who genuinely embodied his values. His reputation was impeccable, and his contributions to the world will always be remembered. Rest in peace ❤️.
RIP, President Carter, and be united with your lovely First Lady. You were both some of the great ones, and thank you for all you've done with your post-Presidency years!
The president who told Americans uncomfortable truths rather than comforting lies. Politicians today should take a page from his book.
A man who lived with purpose. He wouldn't let age or cancer stop him from serving.
The Carter Center has literally saved the lives of millions. His diplomatic work for disaster relief and getting American hostages released was well-deserving of the Nobel Prize. He literally was personally involved in the building of thousands of houses for the less-fortunate at Habitat for Humanity. What a legacy.
I'm glad his family got to have one last Christmas w/ him but he was ready to be w/ Rosalyn again. Go w/ God Mr. President. Thank you for your service.💔🇺🇸
At least he reached a 100. And first ever former President to do so.

An officer and a gentleman.
A decent man has gone on to Glory. Rest in peace, President Carter.
😢😢😢 RIP JIMMY
What a true blessing to have lived to be a 100 rest in peace President Carter🙏
A good man. Sadly it’s a rarity now to be able to say that of someone.
R.I.P Jimmy Carter 😓😥😭😿😢⚰⚱✝️ 1924-2024 You may have passed away but you will never be forgotten.
I was a child when he was President, but savvy enough to world news thanks to my fathers insistence on making me watch
global news since three, observant enough to see the injustice of him being blamed for the hostage crisis and the oil crisis was global.
R.I.P. sir. It is possible to have an ethical leader, if they are allowed by the media to suceed...
President Carter lived a wonderful life full of energy and love
R.I.P. Mr.Jimmy Carter. You Were A Great President.
no he wasnt he was terrible - why do you thik they elected an actor instead ?
77 years of marriage?! That's impressive
I love Jimmy Carter! I voted for him and was so excited when he ran and won! It was wonderful! Bravo Jimmy for all the wonderful things you did for humanity!
Rest in Peace, Sir
An unlucky man who happened to take a presidency during a time of uncertainty. I salute to you Carter, your moral bested those that came after
I'm not actually interested in watching the video, being a elderly person myself I remember his Presidency and am aware of the path of his long life. I just felt the need to comment on a man who dedicated his entire live to public service and compassion for all persons and especially those struggling to live in an increasingly un-caring world. If it were a requirement for politicians to have the empathy for fellow human beings that he possessed, the bulk of the worlds wrongs would fade to a bad dream. Unfortunately, reality dictates this shall not be so. He was one of a very few, and we will be lucky to see another like him in the next 100 years. Rest in Peace Mr. Carter, you certainly deserve it.
wow their love had touched me. I am so sad Rip i hope they are now together.
R.I.P. Jimmy Carter (1924-2024). Jimmy Carter died on December 29, 2024 at the age of 100 in Plains, Georgia.
May a good man RIP
Rest in peace grandpa🙏🏻❤️
Condolences to family Mr Carter was a great president more of a man of peace and a great influence you will be missed never forgotten rip.
A much respected president and thoroughly decent human being. I say that as someone who is British.
Such a likeable and decent man - one of the few US Presidents who seemed to have a heart and soul. RIP.
Paying homage from INDIA....🙏🏻🌼🌼 Late Jimmy Carter sir ...🌸🌸🇮🇳. Such a kind and honest leader of USA..
Jimmy Carter was a great person, very honest. He wanted peace. He was the age of my mother. he will be remembered as one of the best Presidents of the United States
Last year Henry Kissinger died at the same age, namely 100 years.

Wish we had a good man like Jimmy carter again! A great man!
President Carter was absolutely a great human being ❤❤❤RIP Sir.
Rip Mr President 💙🙏🏿
Jimmy carter was the only president who no wars were started ended or fought under
He was one of the many legitimate presidents, supported the social services, appointed record numbers of women, gives the Maximillians jobs and helped the baptism right. Rest in peace, President Carter.
His heart was in the right place
R. I. P
He was the most decent, compassionate and honest President America has ever had. He was the epitome of a good human being. May you rest in peace President Jimmy Carter.
Rest well
His legacy has already travelled beyond this solar system. It's his message of peace and exploration that is engraved in gold and sent further than anything we've sent before; even after his passing, he is our first diplomat to the stars, and a good choice as someone to demonstrate the virtues of our humble species.
Rest peacefully in perfect peace sir. Adieu.😊
The greatest American President of modern times
Rest in perfect peace, President Sir Jimmy Carter , You were a true example of presidency to the Americans ❤❤
Rest In Peace Mr Carter. First world leaders to know when at primary school 🇵🇬
May his soul rest in PERFECT PEACE.
*Deep Condolences To All Late Mr. President Jimmy Carter Family...*
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🤝🤝🤝
The last universally loved President.
Met Jimmy and Rosalynn at a small reception with NBC News folks at Spasso House, the American Embassy residence in Moscow in 1992. What a humble and dignified couple. They were like saints.😢
Stunning record. RIP ✝️
The most decent and unassuming presidents in my life time. He genuinely wanted to make life better for his people. They don't make them like him any more. R.I.P.
Rest in peace
RIP James Earl Carter Jr. 🇺🇸 🫡
God bless Jimmy Carter 🙏. A genuinely good and decent human being ❤!
R.I.P Jimmy : The only brave US President that called Israel an apartheid Nation !
He was a truly great man.
100 years age ... in Gaza this is
Impossible ....
Carter never butchered anyone 😅
A great man
He was a good man. A rare quality in political leaders. The people know but look at the press headlines. Begrudging and neutral . What a world !
Thank you for everything President Carter, rest in peace ❤❤😢😢
One of the hero's of my young years.
Perhaps not the best president, but a better man than most who took the role before him, and anyone who took it after. Rest in peace president carter
God bless you.
RIP SIR
Honest and Decent President
Rest in peace. 🙏
Rest in peace Jimmy, i remember his Uk visit when he met the Queen Elizabeth
Thank you Lord for the life of Carter!
Jimmy Carter was able to temporarily bring the old New Deal coalition back together again. Definitely a man of a bygone era unfortunately. But with society being increasingly secularized it’s inevitable, Carter got his character, humility and honesty from his strong Christian faith. A man who could relate to rural Christian conservatives, black people, northern liberals, southern segregationists, truly a different time. May he rest in peace. We shall not see the likes of him again, unfortunately.
Rest in peace carter
Absolute legend. RIP 🏴
I wish I had the good fortune to meet Jimmy Carter, he was a decent human being
May His Soul Rest In Peace
RIP
I am proud the Queen was able to meet so many USA president, Mr Carter as well❤
R.I.P.
100 years is very cool! Then, his health deteriorated only after he was 90. It's a long life.
He was an honest and compassionate gentleman. Thank you President Carter for your service to the nation.
