Jimmy Carter had little use for the presidents club but formed a friendship for the ages with Ford .

As a member of that elite, informal club, Carter was uniquely positioned to do important work for his successors.

Carter achieved significant results at times, thanks to his public stature as a peacemaker, humanitarian and champion of democracy.

But with Carter , you never knew when he’d go rogue.

The embedded hostilities of Democrat -versus- Republican can melt in the presidents club as former rivals become unlikely mates.

The club members disdained Trump in his first term, and he had no use for them.

Lyndon Johnson leaned frequently on Republican predecessor Dwight Eisenhower , telling him “You’re the best chief of staff I’ve got.” Lyndon Johnson sought Ike ’s advice on what to say to Congress , adding: “I need you more than ever now”.
