Just when you thought it would not be possible to lower your opinion of Donald Trump …

From the Buenos Aires Herald we learn that the Argentine President is visiting the White House.

The Mauricio Macri administration reverted a decision to award former US president Jimmy Carter the Order of the Liberator General San Martín — the maximum distinction that the country can give to a foreign personality — under the pressure from US President Donald Trump’s administration, CNN Español reported this week.

The official tribute, which had already been approved by the foreign ministry and was published in the Official Gazette, was cancelled after receiving a specific request by the US government, which suggested it would be better to delay it. Carter was to be given the award for his work in promoting human rights during Argentina’s last military dictatorship.

That’s okay.  Jimmy was probably hammering nails or laying tile that day.

Thanks to Jim for the heads up.
