Whatever one’s politics are, by all accounts he was a good man and a good human being. May he rest in peace.

He was quite a decent person to be president at a particularly difficult time in American politics. RIP.

Widely considered below-average as far as Presidents of the USA go, he did have some notable achievements, including the Camp David Accords (Peace treaty between Egypt and Israel) and the SALT II treaty with the USSR. He led global opposition to the USSR's invasion of Afghanistan, but his presidency was forever marred by events in Iran.

You mean where the Republicans conspired with foreign powers to undermine the government of the United States of America?

I think he will be remembered as one of the better elder Statesman in the US following his presidency as opposed to his actual term in office.

I saw some else describe him as “not the best president, but probably the best man to ever BE president”. That resounded.
