Jimmy Carter was accused of "campaigning" for the Nobel before he won it. He "campaigned" by going to Africa, literally "getting his hands dirty." One of his first post-Presidential efforts was to teach impoverished villagers the importance of washing their hands regularly. Would Trump do that?

Here’s an idea. 💡 Tell Trump in order to get the prize, he has to go into the jungles of the Congo (DNC) on a mission to take medical supplies into villages and install water tanks. Imagine that scene. 🎬

If he walked 1 mile in Congolese heat & humidity he'd drop of heat stroke. In a book Carter sent me, a possession of which I'm very proud, he told of working peanut fields in the summer, how big men would keel over of heat stroke ("The Bear") Carter walked miles in such conditions well into his 80s.
