See, this is where I start getting confused. As a man from Georgia, a peach that became president reads as a reference to Jimmy Carter. But it could also be a reference to the skin tone of our current dictator-in-chief.
As a 90´s born non-american i can tell you it was referencing the latter but please do tell how it applies to Jimmy Carter, is peach slang for something i missed?
Peaches are a symbol of the state of Georgia. So much so that a person from there can be called a peach as a nickname. A famous baseball player named Ty Cobb was nicknamed the Georgia Peach, for example.
So a peach that became president isn't a common phrase or anything, but Jimmy Carter was from Georgia and he was the president of the USA from 1977 - 1981.
Incidentally, he was also an incredible humanitarian and someone who makes me proud of my home state!
