Where are our former presidents?

I mean literally—are the Obamas sheltering somewhere? Are Bill and Hillary closeted away with Chelsea, or can’t they see the kids? Where are GW and Laura and the twins?

Hello? Is there anybody out there?

Hillary and Bill Clinton sent over 400 pizzas to New York hospitals fighting against coronavirus.

Beyond that, I don't know.

they never miss the opportunity to share their healing and inspiring thoughts (and, yes, prayers).

What a difference to what is in OUR house now.

Compassion? Inspiration? Condolence? Concern?
Have we seen any of that during this pandemonium from either the thug or his moll?

Their speaking won't change Trump's behavior at all.

It will just create a diversion for Trump. Right now, the focus is all on him.

When Trump tries to blame others, it just makes him look even weaker.

He's had various challenges recently, and one of my few regrets in this life is that I will probably never get to meet him. Even without the Corona Virus making things difficult.

Trump would use anything they say to criticize and blame and take all responsibility off himself.
