Former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama appeared in a video and asked Americans to respond to the devastation wrought by the ricane.
A person familiar with the former presidents' appeal said that although the White House was notified ahead of the public announcement, the effort was always intended to be only the ex-presidents without participation from the current commander in chief.
Instead, the presidents were modeling themselves on past efforts -- including the George H.W. Bush-Clinton effort after the South Asia tsunami and Hurricane Katrina, and the George W. Bush-Clinton effort after the earthquake in Haiti -- that brought together past presidents for charity appeals.
Trump offered his backing for the effort on Twitter late Thursday, writing: "We will confront ANY challenge, no matter how strong the winds or high the water.
