Bill Clinton and Carter had a shouting match.
For years, Reagan's victory in the 1980 election left Carter nursing a grudge.
After leaving office, former President Jimmy Carter had conflicts with several presidents, including Bill Clinton.
The 39th president of the United States, Carter, who championed a "competent and compassionate" government, passed away at his home in Plains, Georgia, at the age of 100.
Carter faced challenges with the presidents who succeeded him, including a conflict with Clinton where he announced a diplomatic accomplishment on CNN before meeting with him to discuss it.
""Three months after sending Mr. Carter to Haiti, Mr. Clinton was furious and shouted at him during a planned joint news conference. Mr. Carter shouted back," according to The New York Times."
Carter previously criticized Clinton for enrolling Chelsea Clinton at Sidwell Friends School, a private school attended by Obama's children.
Carter clashed with both President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, over the Iraq War and the United Nations authorization of force for the U.S. military in the Gulf War.
"Jack Watson, Carter's White House Chief of Staff, stated to The Times that as he has aged, he is no longer restricted by political considerations. Carter has a reputation for speaking candidly, which has not always made him popular with others. However, he believes in saying things as he sees them."
Reagan was Carter's longest-standing and deepest dislike among the president's club members.
In the aftermath of his defeat to Reagan in the 1980 presidential election, Carter harbored a grudge against Reagan for never inviting him to a state dinner at the White House, as reported by the Times. Additionally, Carter formed a bond with former President Ford due to their mutual dislike for Reagan.
"According to Jonathan Alter's book "His Very Best: Jimmy Carter, a Life," Carter was not a member in good standing of the ex-presidents' club because he never accepted their code."
"Alter wrote that most of them recognized Mr. Carter's potential usefulness in specific situations, but their main challenge was dealing with their demanding predecessor."
