Today, Donald Trump Jr. offered up his take on President Joe Biden:
Biden isn’t the next FDR he’s the next Jimmy Carter.
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) May 7, 2021
Is that supposed to be an insult, Donald? Huh? HUH??? Are you suggesting that there’s something wrong with Jimmy Carter?
Jimmy Carter spent his post presidency building houses for the homeless with his own hands.
Your dad is a 2nd Generation rich kid who lives in the attic of his golf course and gripes about his loss while he fantasizes about fucking your sister.

Maybe it’s Hal Sparks who should try harder.
POST presidency. Huh. https://t.co/ru139PWhcq

Yeah, that “post” qualifier is important. Hal doesn’t seem to realize that, however.
Nor do the intrepid news curators at Twitter:

Even Zack Beauchamp — that’s right, the Gaza Bridge Guy — understands what Donald Trump Jr. was getting at:
I can't believe I'm defending Donald Trump Jr., but the point of his tweet is that Carter was *not especially good at being president* — which is also a view a lot of historians of the period hold https://t.co/lAqg6Ng2UA
— Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauchamp) May 7, 2021
But Twitter, somehow, is confused.
People who remember Carter's record as an awful president who got trounced by Reagan in '80 aren't the "confused" ones here, @Twitter. https://t.co/hJ6Q3YxnjZ
— Doug Powers (@ThePowersThatBe) May 7, 2021
It's confusing because the only thing the Carter Presidency gave us was Reagan.

Twitter either making its pro-Dem propaganda even less subtle or too stupid to know facts of absolutely abysmal economic situation of country during Carter's presidency. Tip for the young reporters: those real-life econ woes caused major probs for your favored political party! pic.twitter.com/eGnFIHEXXd

Can’t Twitter be making pro-Dem propaganda and be historically ignorant?
Next up from What's happening: People are confused by a Tweet saying Andrew Cuomo enacted policies that killed nursing home patients and sexually harassed women, given that Governor Cuomo is an Emmy Award winner whose book was read by thousands. pic.twitter.com/c5ulQfphS2

Actually, next up from What’s Happening is a slight rephrasing:
LMAO they changed it. pic.twitter.com/Q2sHi126xy

Guess Twitter got tired of getting smacked around.
Anyway, just for the record:
Hey, if people are ok with comparing Biden to a garbage crypto antisemitic one-term president, that's fine by me. pic.twitter.com/L6bI7JcLdq
