“Trump doesn’t know how to put an umbrella down, pass it on,” wrote Twitter user Paul_Ed as he shared a video of US President Donald Trump boarding the official plane Air Force One. Trump, who was on his way to a campaign rally in Indianapolis, was carrying his own umbrella as he stepped onto the red-carpeted stairway. However, as the world watched, the American politician tossed the umbrella and abandoned it as he stepped into the aircraft.

Trump treats his umbrella like the rest of his job.
If it requires more than 2 seconds’ thought, drop it. https://t.co/VLAYQNtwkz— techweenie 🌊 (@techweenie) October 27, 2018
Used it until he didn’t need it anymore so he tossed it. #WakeUpAmerica

However, this is not the first time Trump had an awkward moment with an umbrella. A while back a video of President Donald Trump holding an umbrella for himself while ignoring his wife Melania, who stood nearby in the rain, created quite a buzz on social media.
First lady Melania Trump joins President Trump as he prepares to depart for Georgia and Florida to survey storm recovery efforts.
