WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump paid his respects on Wednesday as President Jimmy Carter lay in state at the Capitol Rotunda as part of state funeral rites. Trump has alternated among praise, criticism and even mockery of Carter. The Georgia Democrat and 39th president died Dec. 29 at the age of 100. His remains arrived in Washington on Tuesday. Carter served as president from 1977-81. Carter will remain at the Capitol until Thursday morning, when he’s transported to Washington National Cathedral for a state funeral. President Joe Biden, a longtime Carter ally, will deliver a eulogy. Carter will be buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia.
