Insist that Former U.S. Presidents Publicly Condemn Donald Trump
The unspoken policy of former Presidents keeping silent about the conduct of a sitting President is not appropriate when it comes to President #45.
Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama - it’s time for you to come together to specifically and publicly condemn Donald Trump’s words and actions, which contribute directly to violence in America.

Why is this important?
Former Presidents are historically tight-lipped when it comes to criticizing successors to the Presidency. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s hate and racism-soaked language, discriminatory policies, and venomous Twitter tantrums fuel the imaginations and provoke the actions of violent individuals.
Average Americans are constantly asked to offer the ever-worthless thoughts and prayers, and fight for gun legislation at the grassroots level. At the same time, our supposed leader spews contempt for specific groups of human beings, and Congress nurtures the NRA and gun lobbyists.
It is time for ALL living former Presidents who took an oath to protect and serve the United States to speak up. Most (if not all) of you regularly rake in millions of dollars based on your time in office - an office that American voters entrusted to you. Some of those voters are now dead - murdered in places like Orlando, Las Vegas, El Paso and Dayton. Have the courage and the common decency to break with this tradition of silence. Fight for us and with us. Call Donald Trump out BY NAME.
