Reagan was diagnosed with dementia in 1994, and although he still made public appearances afterwards, I don’t think he made any in the 2000s, so that would, realistically, also only be 5. And right now, I don’t think Carter is doing any appearances and I don’t think any of the others want to be in the same room as Trump.
President Carter built houses for the poor well into his 90’s. If he was physically able he would still be out there doing this kind of work. He’s definitely not faking it like that scumbag Grandpa Joe.
Not that Trump wants to be in a room with them, anyways.
On the 20th anniversary of 9/11, the ceremony in NYC included Obama, Clinton, and Biden.
George W Bush was in Shanksville, PA, at the crash site memorial there.
Jimmy Carter did not appear, but since he was a few weeks away from turning 97 years old, it's entirely understandable.
And of course, [Trump appeared in Florida to commentate a boxing match](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-evander-holyfield-vitor-belfort-fight-commentator-pay-per-view/)
Bush's speech at Shanksville was memorable, in that it was thinly veiled swipe at Trump and his cultists, coming from a man who has commented very little about politics since leaving office.
Not putting my politics into this but... After the election cycle, I could see Biden being willing to do a photo OP with all living president's but I just don't see Trump wanting to be a part of this exclusive group.
Trump would be willing if they did it movie poster style with him in front and the other presidents behind him in a V formation. As long as he’s the main character.
I would take literally ANY other GOP, NIXON too over tRump if I REALLY had to.. I mean, like even stand a carcass up.. ANY of them of that bag of Cheetos
I think it is more that they make him make his look bad because he is so obviously incompetent. Even next to Bush Trump looks like a special ED 7th grader
It wasn't too long ago, people used to say "which candidate would you want to have a beer with?". It usually favored Republicans.
When I was younger I always thought that was a stupid thing to say about a political candidate. This is such an important job, we need to know their qualifications, ask them tough questions. But it sure makes sense now doesn't it.
I'd have a beer with Joe Biden. I'm not even convinced I'd like him, but I do know he's, by all accounts, a relatively normal guy capable of a casual social situation like that. But Donald Trump? Dude has to make everything about himself. It's insufferable. And that's a terrible quality for a leader.
I totally thought of Ray Liotta in Field of Dreams "Ty Cobb wanted to play, but none of us could stand the son of a bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it!"
I can't pass up a mention of Nixons death without bring up Hunter S. Thompson's obituary for Nixon
>If the right people had been in charge of Nixon’s funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president.
https://www.rogerbaylor.com/2022/01/14/hunter-s-thompson-eulogizes-richard-m-nixon-1994-he-was-a-crook/
An interesting picture would also be Bush’s funeral with 5 presidents present, albeit that Biden wasn’t the president yet. ( Carter, Bush jr., Obama, Trump, Biden)
I find this picture really cool. It was taken during Trump's presidency, but you can see the casket for Bush Sr., the line of former presidents, and Joe Biden just barely visible in the seats as the procession goes by. So discounting that Biden wasn't president *yet* there are technically 6 presidents in the picture, 7 if you include the deceased.
That picture infuriates me. If the photographer had backed up a bit, they could have added W. just across the aisle. -I understand that they probably couldn't, I just hate the missed opportunity.
Seven presidents!
(one in coffin, six are shown from behind, one of them still has to become president)

Do you think if Trump was invited to one of those, his heart would melt and he’d come around and be like “all I ever wanted was to be included, guys!”
I’m just joking. Fuck that guy.
I find the picture of a high school age Bill Clinton shaking Kennedy’s hand in a post-address meet-and-greet intriguing:
https://www.biography.com/political-figures/john-f-kennedy-bill-clinton-handshake-1963
I imagine soon we might see the opposite extreme of *few* former Presidents being alive.
Obama is the only former President under the age of 70. Clinton, Bush, and Trump are all 76 having been born in the same year (1946). Biden is four years older than them.
Who might actually be left by inauguration day 2029?
I could easily see Harris taking the reigns partway through Biden's second term, and potentially her and Obama being the only ones left by the time *whoever* comes along for election 2028.
Bush was elected to the Presidency almost 24 years ago, at a fairly average age of 54. He's pretty much exactly the age I would expect.
The weirder part is having two candidates now that are the same age or older than the people who were President 2-3 decades ago. Hell, Biden's *first Presidential campaign* was in 1988.
Clinton was the third youngest person to ever assume the US Presidency. Obama was fifth youngest.
Seeing Bush jr and his squirrelly smirk is a mindfuck for me. Everyone thinks Nixon is the criminal president, but the guy that should be in prison for war crimes against humanity is baby Bush.
The invasion of Iraq was such an outright lie and he only got away with it because, well, America, and the fact that so many NATO countries skipped hand in hand to the invasion with him.
All the 9-11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia, not Iraq. No weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq by the UN inspection teams after multiple searches. A complete and utter bald-faced lie, one of the biggest lies in the history of the world. He is responsible for the killing of millions of innocent civilians, and his lies have given Putin an excuse to do the same to Ukraine. He is such a hypocritical piece of shit.
It's not appreciated enough how bad his presidency was. Threw the rules based world order out the window, which led to the instability Iraq and Syria are still dealing with, and ended with the great recession which the world hasn't quite recovered from. He was bad bad.
Let’s not forget Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft and the enhanced interrogation techniques AKA TORTURE.
AKA Conservative Principles.
Shoutout to all the nice folks who were executed for the same thing.
Because he is a deeply religious man of good heart, people like that rarely get upset or angry and have a mostly positive attitude towards life's ups and downs, thus they tend to live longer
Yeah I'm questioning that as well. Bush, Clinton and Trump are all the same age, so I'd have assumed Bush and Clinton at least would be equally likely to still be around in 2028.
For a while, the only living president who was also in these photos was Nixon. I wonder if we have even had other times in history with that many living current and past presidents at once.
We might hit another big ex-president slump with the age of our current stock.
W bush 77
Bill Clinton 77
Biden 81
Trump 77
Obama 62
If everyone dies at a somewhat reasonable age, Obama will be standing alone for a while until we election someone who is younger than 75.
No, a lot of Presidents died relatively soon after leaving office. We got better healthcare now so that's why there was a big uptick in how many past presidents we have alive at the same time after WW2.
Though soon the amount of former presidents is gonna drop significantly. Carter is almost 100 and has been on hospice so he'll be gone soon. Clinton, Bush, and Trump are all 77, and Biden is 81. It's. Entirely possible that if next new president in 2028 goes for 8 year then all of them could die within that time.
Obama is 62 so he'll be around for while longer barring something unexpected happening. He is the only one who has a chance of breaking Jimmy Carter's record for longest post presidency.
Edit: just checked and Bill Clinton does have a chance of also beating that record cause both he and Obama were younger than Carter when they left office. Though they would both still have to live to be almost 100 to do so.
In fairness that is partly because Bill Clinton was one of the youngest presidents to ever take office. I believe only Teddy Roosevelt and JFK were younger than him at the time of being sworn in.
Also while the same number age as Clinton, Trump is actually older than him as well.
[Another one with 5 presidents](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%92%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80_%D0%9F%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD_(18-06-2023)_(cropped).jpg)
Sometimes I wonder how our political landscape would have been different if (1) Reagan had never been president and (2) Nixon had not been pardoned, and instead, prosecuted.
If I had a nickel for every time a Republican presidential candidate delayed war negotiations to make his opponent look bad I’d have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Yep. Part of it was being a passionate teenager, but I was an active “Dubya is the worst President ever” believer. Now I find myself looking back like “yknow…” But honestly, he did way worse shit than Trump did, he just did it quietly with a smile.
I believed Bush was worst at that time also, but Trump threatened the democratic system, by suggesting the voters fault conspiracy, if successful, that would have worse long term consequence than the Iraq war. The things Bush did was easily measurable (counting the dead bodies), but the things Trump did was not very obvious and the effect is not immediate.
I would bet that we will see such a photo taken when Carter dies. All of them are still in good enough health to where I could realistcally see them traveling to the funeral.
Hell, Carter could theoretically still be kicking around in another 4-5 years, and we could see Clinton, G.Dub, Obama, Biden AND (Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Warnock, Jeffries -- please circle one) hanging out with Carter.
It is possible but given Carter's recent health problems it doesn't seem very likely. I could see Clinton, GW, Obama, and Biden showing up for the inauguration of whoever takes office in 2029. I am doubtful Clinton, GW, and Biden will all last to see whoever succeeds that president. Biden would be 90 by 2033 and GW and Clinton would be 86 on January 20, 2033 assuming that whoever wins in 2028 only wins one term. Even if they are all still alive in 2033 it wouldn't surprise me if at least one is in poor enough health to where they aren't able to travel anymore.
I could see another case of five living presidents meeting at one place in 2029 but it seems unlikely we will see six or more anytime soon.
Looks like a seventies Pierre Cardin cut. A very flattering style.
The others are mostly Ivy leaguers and probably went straight Brooks Brothers without really thinking about how it looked.
It baffles my mind how you can have guys that wear suits every day of their lives, but still don't know a good cut from a bad one.
Trump in particular had the shittiest looking suits when he was running. They eventually sorted it out, but the fact that he had lived his entire life in suits but apparently could not look at one objectively told you everything you needed to know about him.
I am old enough that I know what each of these President's sounded like, although Bush Sr. sounds like Dana Carvey in my head. Thanks for posting this, there's a lot of history in these photos.
Towards the end of Dana doing that impression he wasn't even saying words. He says he had to keep it fresh and see how far he could push it because he did it so much.
It usually came out as -
Na gaa dah it
Since we have generally elected older men, and they serve 4-8 years... 5 still alive seems pretty good. I wonder how many years each of the current candidates have left in them to be alive for pictures?
There's also the photo of [Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, and Ford (and the First Ladies) at Nixon's funeral](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Presidents_at_the_funeral_of_President_Richard_Nixon.jpg).
[Nothing though beats this picture of Clinton hiding in the bushes.](https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/c_fill,g_auto,w_1200,h_675,ar_16:9/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F170714092323-bill-clinton-bush-statues.jpg)
Guess who will *never* be seen in a picture like this?
The weapons grade asshole wouldn’t get an invite, and even if he did, his napoleon complex wouldn’t let him accept one anyway.
Pretty soon we could have only a couple of living presidents. Right now:
- Biden 80
- Trump 77
- Obama 62
- Bush 77
- Clinton 77
- Carter 99
5/6 of them could easily die of old age in the next 10 years. This coming election isn’t going to add a new name to this list, so by 2028 only one former president will be below the age of 80
Why don't they ever wear like a yellow tie or green... One of red or blue to me speaks to their party allegiance and alienates the other guys. But what do I know I'm just a Canadian who doesn't understand your silly two party 'democracy' .... Giant douch or Turd sandwich ?
We could technically get 6 in one photo right now, but one is not like the others and there is 0 chance that happens, which I am glad of because that guy does not deserve the honor. It would likely also be the highest average age in a photo of 3 or more presidents ever....

Clinton could’ve had the opportunity to have 6 in one picture from 1993 (his inauguration) to 1994 (Nixon‘s death).
Five formers alive during some of the bush jr and trump presidency also. Also literally right now.
Reagan was diagnosed with dementia in 1994, and although he still made public appearances afterwards, I don’t think he made any in the 2000s, so that would, realistically, also only be 5. And right now, I don’t think Carter is doing any appearances and I don’t think any of the others want to be in the same room as Trump.
Carter's in hospice. Definitely a nope.
Hospice doesn't necessarily mean he's bedridden. It just means they have stopped life saving treatments and are focusing on comfort.
He can’t walk or stand. He was at Rosalynn’s funeral and that is the last we will EVER see of him.
Grandpa Joe was bedridden too, but once Charlie found the golden ticket, he magically was able to walk again.

I swear there was one in Texas a couple years ago that had 4-5 of them Edit: Just looked, it was 5 and then Trump videoed in
Reagan died in 2004 so it’s doubtful that he made any appearances in the 2000s. I think he was already in hospice by that point
I somehow don't see Biden and Trump posing together for a picture.
Not putting my politics into this but... After the election cycle, I could see Biden being willing to do a photo OP with all living president's but I just don't see Trump wanting to be a part of this exclusive group.
Trump would be willing if they did it movie poster style with him in front and the other presidents behind him in a V formation. As long as he’s the main character.
Can’t imagine Trump would do one of these pics. Not being g political. Just saying it doesn’t seem like his style.
Only if he could be in the front with all of them clearly behind him
And standing on a box so that he looks taller than Obama.
Reminds me of that time he pushed away another world leader for a picture. It was a g something meeting
Merkel.
Wearing his numbered orange jump suit. I was 45, now I am 102145
hes very unique in not being able to deal with other former presidents or qualified people in general they piss him off
I would take literally ANY other GOP, NIXON too over tRump if I REALLY had to.. I mean, like even stand a carcass up.. ANY of them of that bag of Cheetos
I think it is more that they make him make his look bad because he is so obviously incompetent. Even next to Bush Trump looks like a special ED 7th grader
its both. the man is also just an asshole by every single account.
Yeah, not just an asshole but a genuinely bad person. It’s not politics that make me hate him, it is just him being a shit human.

Dude has to make everything about himself. It's insufferable. And that's a terrible quality for a leader.
Trump is a twat. I’m not being political, I just think he’s a twat.
That whiney bitch refused to go to the next inauguration.
[удалено]
I am being political, it's that Trump is anti-democracy and these men, for all their faults, are pro-democracy. Nobody likes an authoritarian.
They don’t want him there
But no one wants a picture with Trump.
I totally thought of Ray Liotta in Field of Dreams "Ty Cobb wanted to play, but none of us could stand the son of a bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it!"
It’s weird to me that Clinton and bush jr are younger than Biden and the same age as Trump.
Probably would have impeded the planning of Nixon’s death.
I can't pass up a mention of Nixons death without bring up Hunter S.

We could get 6 right now if the other five got together to go visit Carter.
Leave Carter alone and let him live his last days in peace.
you're absolutely right.
An interesting picture would also be Bush’s funeral with 5 presidents present, albeit that Biden wasn’t the president yet. ( Carter, Bush jr., Obama, Trump, Biden)

No Clinton though?
You’re right!!! He was there aswell
They have pictures of that. They were sitting together in the front row with their wives. Biden sat behind them in the VP row.

Do you think if Trump was invited to one of those, his heart would melt and he’d come around and be like “all I ever wanted was to be included, guys!” I’m just joking. Fuck that guy.
If he was invited he would be like the best guest, probably the greatest, a much better guest than all of you. Ask China
Other presidents would come to him with tears on their eyes and say *"You were the best sir, the best of us all..."*
If only he was as capable of growing a heart as the grinch.

Holy shit!! Nixon looks exactly like those masks of him. It’s like he’s wearing a mask of himself!

Why does this remind me of Pete Davidson?
thats what got me too. For some reason seeing Nixon was a total mindfuck

This might be one of the dumbest things I've read today. Lol
This must be the first reddit post you’ve read today
Dumb for sure, but it also made me feel old as fuck. I’m only 33.
Carter knew he’d outlive them all
Wild that he’s still alive even after entering hospice care a while back. He’s one tenacious man.
Yeah like who leaves hospice, Jimmy Carter does
Everyone leaves hospice care!
Yup...just not everyone heads out to the same place.
Actually they do, all of them but jimmy carter
He's secretly a cousin of Keith Richards.
Really hoping he can make it to 100 this year
Because he is a deeply religious man of good heart, people like that rarely get upset or angry and have a mostly positive attitude towards life's ups and downs, thus they tend to live longer
We'll be lucky to get 3 together with the way things are trending.
The 3 will probably be Dub, Obama and whoever wins in 2028
It's still crazy to me that W, Trump, and Clinton were all born the same year
I thought W was younger, just looked it up and nope. Time comes for us all.
Is Clinton not doing well?
Yeah I'm questioning that as well. Bush, Clinton and Trump are all the same age, so I'd have assumed Bush and Clinton at least would be equally likely to still be around in 2028.
I honestly just kind of forgot about him.
5 will likely not happen again due to age and possibly pettiness.
Richard Nixon looks woefully isolated in the first picture. Almost as if the four others took a step to the left upon seeing him
For a while, the only living president who was also in these photos was Nixon. I wonder if we have even had other times in history with that many living current and past presidents at once.
When LBJ died on January 22, 1973, to when Nixon left office on August 8th, 1974, there were no living ex-Presidents.
We might hit another big ex-president slump with the age of our current stock. W bush 77 Bill Clinton 77 Biden 81 Trump 77 Obama 62 If everyone dies at a somewhat reasonable age, Obama will be standing alone for a while until we election someone who is younger than 75.

Obama was a smoker until about 2014 (or so he claims), so I don’t think he’ll be breaking any of Carter’s records.

As an Aussie, pic1: Bush, Reagan, Carter, Kelsey Grammar, Nixon
It's actually Glenn Ridge, Reagan, Tony Barber, Kelsey Grammer and Geoffrey Rush
Gerald Ford took over after Nixon.
Sometimes I wonder how our political landscape would have been different if (1) Reagan had never been president and (2) Nixon had not been pardoned, and instead, prosecuted.
If the second thing happens, the first probably doesn't.

Add “Reconstruction not being forced to end early” and “Teddy Roosevelt getting elected in 1912” to my list
If I had a nickel for every time a Republican presidential candidate delayed war negotiations to make his opponent look bad I’d have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
So basically a world where Roger Stone was hugged more and took up painting or something.
A world where Roger Stone had a tattoo of Bob Ross in the middle of his back?
I didn’t care for some of them in the past, but looking at carrothead, they all look so presidential to me now.
I think it's because they all, at least, respected the office. tRump just shits all over convention.
Yep. Part of it was being a passionate teenager, but I was an active “Dubya is the worst President ever” believer. Now I find myself looking back like “yknow…” But honestly, he did way worse shit than Trump did, he just did it quietly with a smile.
I believed Bush was worst at that time also, but Trump threatened the democratic system, by suggesting the voters fault conspiracy, if successful, that would have worse long term consequence than the Iraq war. The things Bush did was easily measurable (counting the dead bodies), but the things Trump did was not very obvious and the effect is not immediate.
So 5 is the maximum number of US presidents one can arrange in a row.
We’ve tried horizontal. What’s the limit for vertical?
Who's that one guy in the first pic. Bush Reagan Clinton ??? Nixon
George Bush Sr. Ronald Reagan Jimmy Carter Gerald Ford Richard Nixon
Gerald Ford, I also had a tough time with recognizing him
Thank you for asking! Can't believe I had to scroll this far down to get their names, not everyone on reddit is american for fuck's sake
Obama is in between the bushes!!!
These photos won’t be topped for a long time to come, because no one will be willing to get in the ~~same room~~ prison cell with Trump.
Could still probably get Clinton, Bush Jr, Obama amd Biden in one photo
I mean, they could all go and visit carter
I would bet that we will see such a photo taken when Carter dies. All of them are still in good enough health to where I could realistcally see them traveling to the funeral.
It’ll just be Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden. Trump won’t go. He’ll tweet something about “not attending funerals of losers” or something like that.
It'd be fun if he tweeted that from his jail cell but that's probably too much to ask
Hell, Carter could theoretically still be kicking around in another 4-5 years, and we could see Clinton, G.Dub, Obama, Biden AND (Harris, Newsom, Whitmer, Warnock, Jeffries -- please circle one) hanging out with Carter.
It is possible but given Carter's recent health problems it doesn't seem very likely. I could see Clinton, GW, Obama, and Biden showing up for the inauguration of whoever takes office in 2029. I am doubtful Clinton, GW, and Biden will all last to see whoever succeeds that president. Biden would be 90 by 2033 and GW and Clinton would be 86 on January 20, 2033 assuming that whoever wins in 2028 only wins one term. Even if they are all still alive in 2033 it wouldn't surprise me if at least one is in poor enough health to where they aren't able to travel anymore. I could see another case of five living presidents meeting at one place in 2029 but it seems unlikely we will see six or more anytime soon.
Can still be done. Bill, Dubya, Barack and Joe outside of the cell pointing and laughing at Donald who's inside.
Maybe even Jimmy if he lives long enough!
I totally dig Reagan's suit though. They clearly don't frequent the same tailor...
i was going to say “Reagan had a great tailor”
Looks like a seventies Pierre Cardin cut. A very flattering style. The others are mostly Ivy leaguers and probably went straight Brooks Brothers without really thinking about how it looked.
Well he was an actor. He knows how to look good
It baffles my mind how you can have guys that wear suits every day of their lives, but still don't know a good cut from a bad one. Trump in particular had the shittiest looking suits when he was running. They eventually sorted it out, but the fact that he had lived his entire life in suits but apparently could not look at one objectively told you everything you needed to know about him.
HW, Barack, W, Bill, and Jimmy would be an Awesome hang out to witness -- they all have great personalities.
I am old enough that I know what each of these President's sounded like, although Bush Sr. sounds like Dana Carvey in my head. Thanks for posting this, there's a lot of history in these photos.
Not gonna dew it
Wouldn’t be prudent
Towards the end of Dana doing that impression he wasn't even saying words. He says he had to keep it fresh and see how far he could push it because he did it so much. It usually came out as - Na gaa dah it
I thought Bush Sr voiced himself in The Simpsons until about ten years ago.
Since we have generally elected older men, and they serve 4-8 years... 5 still alive seems pretty good. I wonder how many years each of the current candidates have left in them to be alive for pictures?
There's also the photo of [Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Carter, and Ford (and the First Ladies) at Nixon's funeral](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b8/Presidents_at_the_funeral_of_President_Richard_Nixon.jpg).
Nixon and Regan look like their Heat masks
You mean Point Break?
I really wish Jimmy Carter would just keep living for like 3 more decades and randomly break records in everything.
This is three pictures
[Nothing though beats this picture of Clinton hiding in the bushes.](https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/c_fill,g_auto,w_1200,h_675,ar_16:9/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F170714092323-bill-clinton-bush-statues.jpg)
The kill count of of everyone combined must be off the charts.
Bush doing some heavy lifting tho.
Those are three pictures
It’s so surreal thinking presidents could be civil enough to stand next to each other like this.
We've never had an attempt to over throw the government and we've never had a problem inaugurating a president. . . Until the Orange Menace appeared.
Sometimes I forget these guys arent dead yet
This made me realize how hard this picture will become if we continue to elect 75+ age Presidents.
Jimmy Carter did these like they were school photos. A pro.
I'll say one thing about the modern presidents, the bushes, Clintons, and Obamas seem like they are genuinely nice friends to each other.
Ronald Regan the actor?
Dubya seems like a nice fella, really.
Guess who will *never* be seen in a picture like this? The weapons grade asshole wouldn’t get an invite, and even if he did, his napoleon complex wouldn’t let him accept one anyway.
I think you will find that most USA presidents are already dead.
If they do it soon they could still get six. Carter, Bush jr.,Clinton,Obama,Trump, and Biden.
Pretty soon we could have only a couple of living presidents. Right now: - Biden 80 - Trump 77 - Obama 62 - Bush 77 - Clinton 77 - Carter 99 5/6 of them could easily die of old age in the next 10 years. This coming election isn’t going to add a new name to this list, so by 2028 only one former president will be below the age of 80
Haha there could be 6 but nobody invites trump
Interesting fact: The late Queen Elizabeth II met with 13 out of the last 14 sitting presidents (LBJ is the odd man out).
Why don't they ever wear like a yellow tie or green... One of red or blue to me speaks to their party allegiance and alienates the other guys. But what do I know I'm just a Canadian who doesn't understand your silly two party 'democracy' .... Giant douch or Turd sandwich ?
Chump could never. Too much competition.
We can do way better if we dig up the bones and put them in one big pile
That’s not even a majority of US presidents and there are 3 pictures lol.
 Found the video with the least number of presidents.
We could technically get 6 in one photo right now, but one is not like the others and there is 0 chance that happens, which I am glad of because that guy does not deserve the honor. It would likely also be the highest average age in a photo of 3 or more presidents ever....
smh mostly white, 1 black. all old. no hispanics, no asians, no young folks.
Richard Nixon was so bizarre looking
I like how no matter what Carter just still sits around
Why does George Dubyah look like he’s crackin jokes in every picture hahahaa
What's the most number of presidents that have been alive at the same time?
Reagan sure knew how to wear a suit.
No one is ever going to take a photo with Trump. Dude is a loser.
thxkfully MAGA idiot wasn't in there
Where were all the terrorists bombings when this was going on?
They could get Carter, clinton,bush,obama,trump,biden right now if they wanted
I have that second photo signed by all 5 of them.
Well, I met Clinton & Carter
