41% : Carter biographer Jonathan Alter told the Guardian in 2020: "I sent Carter an email saying: 'Do you think you have anything in common with Donald Trump?'
34% : Trump will soon be certified as the 47th president, four years to the day after he whipped up a furious mob to storm the US Capitol in a failed bid to cling to power.
27% : Meacham added: "President Biden is trying very hard to be a pillar of that dignity and decorum but it would be dishonest of us to not note that it's getting harder and harder for dignity and decorum to carry the day in the public square."Carter and Trump were born only 22 years apart but may as well have come from different centuries.
