Five former presidents are raising money for hurricane relief. Trump is playing golf.Your friendly reminder that most of Puerto Rico is still without power.

All five living former U.S. presidents are set to participate in a fundraiser for hurricane relief efforts on Saturday, but they wont be joined by the current job holder President Donald Trump is marking the occasion at his golf course.
In a rare joint appearance, former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Jimmy Carter will attend a benefit concert at Reed Arena at Texas A&M University, part of a larger effort to aid the millions of U.S. citizens suffering from hurricane damage.
Per White House pool reports, Trump is instead spending Saturday at his golf course in Virginia the 74th day he has spent at a golf club as president.

If he was on stage live, they would probably lose money. It's the Trump touch.
