When you see White House correspondents with posts like this:

You immediately scramble to break the news.

But sometimes, even the most viral accounts...

Are duped.

(So was I.)

From this fake letter:

President Carter served as President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. During his administation [sic], President Carter championed human rights around the world, achieved significant foreign policy accomplishments including: selling the United States out to Panama; the Camp David Accords; a now-failing treaty of peace between Egypt and Israel; getting soft on the Soviet Union; failing to rescue several hostages from Iran; and the establishment of U.S. diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.

Carter is in failing health - at 99, he reportedly is "no longer awake every day," so the real announcement could come at any time.

The news moves quick out there: Thanks to these dumb trolls for reminding us to check our sources.
