Hurricane Aid Concert Video Tells A Thousand Words


It is a pleasure to see five former U.S. Presidents together on stage in support of a relief concert for 2017 hurricane victims in Houston, Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It speaks volume when these five presidents, representing different political views, can unite whenever there is a needy cause, and the comradery among them is quite evident. In such an uncommon occasion of having all five former presidents together, it would have been ideal to also see the current president on stage to show a united effort in helping U.S. citizens. However, Trump made a videotaped appearance instead of attending the event. The bottom line is when people "burn their bridges" by continuously disrespecting others, the detractor loses in the long run. It is an uneasy and embarrassing feeling for a detractor to be in the presence of persons who he/she speaks about with contempt. When the time comes...and it will in the future... for the detractor to interact with the person or persons who he/she constantly insults with disparaging remarks, there will be great tension in the air in spite of any cordial exchanges. Oh to be a fly on the wall when it happens!
