While Donald Trump goes golfing for the 74th time since his inauguration, 5 former president's show up to raise money for hurricane relief.

Courtesy of CNN: 

Members of an exclusive club are making a rare joint appearance Saturday. 

All five living former US presidents will take part in a benefit concert in Texas to raise money for hurricane relief efforts, while President Donald Trump will appear in a taped video message to the concertgoers, the White House announced Saturday. 

Former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter will attend Saturday night's event, named "Deep From the Heart: The One America Appeal," at Reed Arena at Texas A&M University in College Station.

Apparently Trump is going to send a video message, but that is really all he can do right now as he is dealing with more important matters.
Priorities.

However the men who took their jobs seriously are showing up to help their fellow Americans whose lives have been devastated by these recent disasters.

The concert won't be the first time the former presidents have joined forces. 

After Hurricane Harvey struck Texas in September, all five started the "One America Appeal" charity effort and filmed a video urging citizens to help out amid the devastating flooding. 

They have since resumed the effort in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
I am long past hoping that Trump is capable of learning on the job, but just maybe he can be shamed into actually doing his job by the example set by these men.

I mean at this point anything is worth a try.

    Trump will never be able to 'hurry up and copy/reflect the former past POTUSs' actions due to the fact he doesn't have the empathy and natural kindness as do all our past presidents.

    And, there is nary a way I can imagine Trump being a part of the 'past president's club' once he completes his first term (unless he quits or is impeached!). He does NOT have a natural fit with his predecessors!

    The malignant two year old will not grow up. Like his supporters, he is incorrigible. They voted for a shit head. A shit head they got. When their lives remain or get more miserable, they will tune into Fox or RW hate sources to find out who to blame. Liberals and brown folks will be the culprits. This country has a very large population of feeble minded gullible ignorant racist fools. Their basic nature is to be uncharitable and cruel. And, being narcissists themselves, none of it is their fault. They think of themselves as victims. And they are, of their own stupidity.

    I was never a fan of either George Bush, but senior is 93 years old with health issues and HE could manage an appearance at this event.

    As much as he brags about being the best, I think our current White House squatter knows deep down that he will never truly belong in that exclusive club.

    The Cretin in Chief's ability at golf matches his ability at anything. Millions of folks have voted for a short busser with a penchant for cruelty. I wonder if the loss of affordable comprehensive healthcare will make any impression on these fools or will they just luv luv luv his dimwitted racist ass. They seem to love Hannity and Hannity is an ignorant lying sycophantic slab of lard. Does it ever occur to these idiots that Hannity is paid millions to fool fools like themselves?

      There's a quote by a famous gentleman (I can't remember whom it was) about how if you can convince some loser that he's superior to someone else you can do what you want with him.

    Twitler has no shame. Plus he is an abject coward and he would be afraid to show up where Obama is.

    Donald Trump has proved that his brain is too old to learn anything new. He would be the third eldest in that picture but the other old guys still have their wits about them.

    There would be so many boos if trump showed up. He is not a president and has no honor. He is a liar with zero honor.

    Has anyone else noticed that the Dumpster has not spent one day or weekend with Melania or his young son? No trips to special places, nothing. That speaks volumes.

    Now lets hope there will be found a constitutional way for the 5 to invoke the 25th amendment

    Pence is HORRIBLE, but slightly more stable than the Trumpsterfire.

      "As early as 2001, Donald Trump claimed that he had made a “substantial” investment in Toronto’s Trump Tower, but in reality he only had a contract to licence out his name and manage the hotel."
      "your lead developer is publicly exposed in the pages of the Toronto Star as a fugitive fraudster on the run from U.S. justice. Your major institutional partner — the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company — bails shortly after.

      Your remaining partners in the deal — a group of investors assembled by the criminal who was just outed — include a New York camera store owner, a former Chicago nursing-home administrator, two small-time landlords in Britain and a little-known Toronto billionaire who earned a fortune in the former Soviet Union." djt>
      repeatedly told the world HE was investing HIS own money in the project — claims that would prove false — and gushed about its spectacular promise, knowing HIS profits were guaranteed.

      “Nothing like this has ever been built in Toronto,” Trump said in 2004 as he relaunched the stalled project. >
      “It is going to be the ultimate destination for Business, Pleasure and Entertainment.”<RIGHT!

      "Seventy five per cent of the units were sold, Shnaider said in 2007, shortly before groundbreaking. A few months later, Trump said the number was 70 per cent. By 2012, Talon was reporting 60 per cent were sold. The next year, the company admitted less than half the units had been bought."
