Former President Jimmy Carter may be a liberal Democrat but he seemed to be supportive of President Trump on a number of issues in an interview with The New York Times.

Carter told the Times’s Maureen Dowd that Trump has been treated worse by the media than any other president he can remember.

“I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about,” Carter said. “I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”

The 39th president, who admitted he voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders in the primary, also praised Trump’s diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
