Jimmy Carter: A Disastrous Presidency

Jimmy Carter is often regarded as one of the worst presidents in American history. His one-term presidency was marked by stagflation, high inflation, and massive unemployment rates. Carter's handling of the Iranian Revolution and the Iran hostage crisis further tarnished his presidency. He built houses for the homeless, but also had troubling associations, such as Hamas and Yasser Arafat. Carter opposed US intervention in the Gulf War, actively lobbying against it. His actions led to the North Korean nuclear deal and nuclear weapons in North Korea.
