About
The Jimmy Carter 100th Birthday Photo refers to image macros of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on his 100th birthday in October 2024, in which he looks hyperbolically old and on the brink of death, seen with his mouth agape, lying back on a white wheelchair, wearing a grey shirt and a blue baseball cap. A video of Former President Carter with his family and friends watching an honorary fly-over went viral on social media sites like Twitter / X on the day. Users screenshotted images of Carter from the video, using them to make fun of his appearance and crack jokes about his old age.
Origin

Later on October 1st, X[2] user @GeebMinister quoted the abovementioned tweet, attaching two screencaps from the video showing Carter in his wheelchair, writing, "Jesus fucking christ, I was not prepared for how dead he was gonna look. He might just be dead." The quote tweet amassed over 25,2000 likes in a day (shown below).
Spread
In the following days, many internet users shared the screencaps taken by X[2] user @GeebMinister of Jimmy Carter on his 100th birthday. For instance, on October 1st, 2024, X[3] user @eltetarr tweeted a zoomed-in photo of Carter, captioning it, "we need to get him the earliest early ballot possible," referencing the upcoming 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, gaining over 11,000 likes in a day (shown below).
