Donald Trump made a political statement on Sunday, prompting his own supporters to voice their disagreements with him.
Trump over the weekend marked the passing of fellow former President Jimmy Carter, who died after receiving hospice care in his home.
Trump took to Truth Social after the news broke, saying in part, "The challenges Jimmy faced as President came at a pivotal time for our country and he did everything in his power to improve the lives of all Americans. For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude."

MAGA fans on Trump's Truth Social page didn't like that from Trump.
Theodore Winters, who describes himself as a "conservative Republican artist," laughed at the president elect's comment.
"Lol, I know you’re being nice. But you’re tripping," Winters wrote. "Carter was a terrible president and damaged The United States Of America to such an extent that we are STILL dealing with his horribly policy decisions and his inflation repercussions in 2024."
He then added, "I get it. He just passed. And we have to be respectful and nice. But let’s still keep it real."
An account that promotes posts by Trump's appointees, Commieskillpuppies, said, "I appreciate your graciousness toward him but it won’t win you any points from the leftists."
"They’re soulless. Besides a skunk by any other name would still stink to high heaven," the user then added. "He was not a good President. But he wasn’t our worst. Biden wins that award."
A Truth Social user who proclaims "Trump is my president" in their bio, Chicabonita2145, said, "Jimmy Carter was the worst President in history."
"He sold the Panama Canal for $1 to settle a dispute. Also the Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States," the user then added. "Carter came from a peanut farm his own brother was a fool and I will never forget he kept our American citizens hostages. He is part of the deep state club and always will be. I don’t care about Carter."
John 55 ????????, who identifies as an "America First" veteran, chimed in:
"Jimmy Carter pardoned all the Vietnam draft dodgers that forced other men to take their place! Many of these men did not come home."
"Personally, I think Carter lived a long life to suffer for the pardons to the draft dodgers he pardoned," he added.
