Donald Trumphasn’t had the best of luck when it comes to umbrellas.
The president found himself at the center of another umbrella-related snafu on Saturday, as he boarded Air Force One at Andrews Air Force Base in D.C.
In videos documenting the moment, Trump, 72, can be seen holding the device over his head while making his way up the stairs to the aircraft. However, as he proceeded to enter the plane, he lowered the still-opened umbrella — which was wider than the aircraft door — to the ground. After he appeared to drag it along the ground for a few moments, instead of closing the umbrella, he simply released the handle, leaving it to wobble on the ground instead.
The video prompted many social media users to jokingly question whether the president knew how to close umbrellas.

At the time the viral video was taken, the president was en route to Indianapolis, where he spoke at the Future Farmers of America convention.
“By the way, somebody just said, ‘Your hair looks different today,’” Trump remarked. “I said, ‘Well, I was standing under the wing of Air Force One doing a news conference early this morning, a very unfortunate news conference. And the wind was blowing and the rain, and I was soaking wet, and that’s what I ended up with today.”
“And I said, ‘At least you know it’s mine,’ ” he added.
