few if any president would do what he did post presidency .. no doubt about that. the man was still helping to build houses until his early 90's when it became too physically taxing for him.
Trump wouldn't do that. neither would Obama or Clinton. Bush Jr "maybe".
rankings are arbitrary horseshit anyway. it all depends on WHO does the ranking yeah?

I did not say Carter's humanitarian work had any realtion to his presidency. I am saying his work after leaving office was great for his legacy.
Yes, rankings of presidents is arbitrary for sure. But if you look at the rankings from C-Span which is considered the best of the ranking sources it would be hard to find bias in them.
142 "experts" completed the most recent survey and ranked each ex-POTUS from 1-10 on 10 important attributes. I could not tell you what each of the 44 men who held the office of POTUS did well and what they did poorly. I doubt you can. But some people do have that knowledge. In C-Span's rankings, 4 of the top 10 are Republican and 4 are Democrat. The bottom 3 are Democrat. Hard to claim bias.
