    Carter built houses for 4 decades after his presidency mismanaged the Iran hostages, energy crisis, and 70s inflation (though I’m not sure he deserves credit for the last one).

    Bush is eating playing with paint and hiding from his mismanagement of the 9/11 attacks and subsequent unrelated war he started.

      his presidency mismanaged the Iran hostages

      That was mainly the Reagan campaign paying the terrorists to hold the hostages until Reagan could take credit.

      (though I’m not sure he deserves credit for the last one)

      He doesn’t deserve the blame for either of them. He’s one of if not THE most slandered US president in history.
