On Saturday, Trump was boarding Air Force One when he either could not figure out how to close his umbrella or he could not be bothered and simply left it for someone else to take care of. Either way it was quite a reminder of the lavish and privileged lifestyle Trump was raised in.

We kind of feel sorry for the abandoned umbrella, or maybe that is just us projecting how we feel.
I’ve added Pixar music to Trump’s umbrella and it deserves an Oscar https://t.co/FYvjB20Jgv— Nooruddean (@Nooruddean) 1540722561.0
