Donald Trump has just penned a touching tribute to Jimmy Carter, and we’re not sure if we’ve slipped into an alternate dimension or if Trump accidentally logged into someone else’s Truth Social account. Either way, it’s giving us whiplash.

The former president hopped on his favorite social media platform, Truth Social, Sunday evening, barely an hour after news broke that the peanut-loving former president and humanitarian extraordinaire had passed away at the grand age of 100.

Trump, known for his subtlety (just kidding), wrote a message dripping with reverence, saying that being president is like joining an ultra-exclusive club—complete with secret handshakes, decoder rings, and the crushing weight of leading an entire nation. According to Trump, Carter took on his share of challenges and “did everything he could to improve the lives of all Americans.” (Pause for dramatic gasp.)

“For that, we all owe him a debt of gratitude,” Trump added. He also mentioned that he and Melania are keeping the Carter family in their thoughts, urging his followers to do the same. And just like that, we’re questioning reality.

Now, let’s rewind to two months ago when Trump wasn’t exactly sending Jimmy Carter edible arrangements. On Carter’s 100th birthday, Trump managed to turn a moment of celebration into a roast session, calling Joe Biden the “worst president ever” and quipping that Carter was probably thrilled to no longer hold the title. Ouch, Donny.

But hey, it’s 2024, and apparently, people can surprise us. Carter’s passing—after spending nearly two years in hospice care—has prompted heartfelt tributes from across the political spectrum. Even Trump has been struck by the nostalgia bug, proving that even the most unlikely persons can find a moment of humanity in times of loss.

As the tributes pour in, President Joe Biden described Carter as an “extraordinary leader,” while Barack Obama reminded us that Jimmy embodied “grace, dignity, justice, and service.” Meanwhile, Trump’s post stands as a gentle reminder that even the most controversial figures can come together to honor a man who spent his life bringing people together.

Jimmy Carter, the ultimate uniter, doing it one last time.
