With concerns over the well-being of No. 39 put to rest, Twitter decided to use the opportunity to honor the former president, 2002 Nobel Peace Prize winner, and humanitarian (via The White House) — and the tributes came. "When President Jimmy Carter took office, he sold his peanut farm just to avoid any conflict of interest or being accused of corruption whilst the GQP are buying and trading stock whilst in office as they push policy to benefit their stocks aka committing insider trading. Hmm," one Twitter user wrote. Actor George Takei put up a tribute showing Jimmy Carter's work with Habitat for Humanity, tweeting, "We do not deserve Jimmy Carter."
And thanks to Twitter's algorithm, an older tweet authored by New Jersey Congressman Tom Malinowski about Jimmy Carter resurfaced, as the former tweeted: "When I was 11, Jimmy Carter came to New Jersey, and I got him to sign a biography of Thomas Jefferson. I love that my young constituents still nerd it up with the best of them!"
Another social media user tweeted: "It always worries me if I see Jimmy Carter trending. You all must know how much I admire him by now. He's obviously trending just because we need someone great, kind and compassionate to trend."
