President Trump leaves Melania in the rain without an umbrella on their way to Florida -- and Twitter has the best reaction
AOL.com editors, AOL.com 17 hours ago 
President Trump and Melania departed to storm-ravaged Florida on Monday morning to assess the damage from last week's Hurricane Michael. However, Twitter noticed an awkward moment shared between the first couple as they embarked on their trip, and the viral footage has seemingly overshadowed the administration's humanitarian efforts.
As the two prepared to board the Marine One helicopter bound for Florida, Trump, holding an umbrella, moved away from his wife to talk to reporters, leaving Melania standing in the rain. He then rejoins her on the walk to the helicopter, but keeps the umbrella over his own head.

"Trump standing with the massive umbrella over him while his wife gets rained on just says so much," said another.
However, photos of the two walking closer to the helicopter show Melania receiving a little more shelter from the umbrella than before.
This isn't the first time the president has made headlines for the "unchivalrous" move. Back in January, Trump appeared to " hog " the umbrella while Melania and Barron boarded Air Force One in the rain and wind while leaving West Palm Beach.

After insisting that her husband’s alleged extramarital affairs are “ not a concern and focus of mine ,” Melania Trump was seen holding hands with the president.
On Monday, Melania smiled as she walked in the rain with President Trump to Marine One, wearing black combat boots, a pair of gray skinny jeans, a black top, and a black jacket. The couple was traveling to visit victims of Hurricane Michael in Florida , where they met with the Federal Emergency Management Agency ( FEMA ), first responders, and law enforcement, as explained in a tweet by the president . The one-day trip also covers a visit to Georgia.
Speaking to reporters at Eglin Air Force Base in Okaloosa County, reports ABC News , Trump said of Florida Gov. Rick Scott, “The job they’ve done in Florida has been incredible, and likewise I’m hearing in Georgia pretty good things. Just making sure everyone’s safe, that they’re fed, you know many of these people, they have no — they have no home. Some of them have no trace of a home, you wouldn’t even know it just got blown right off the footing. So our big thing is feeding and water and safety.”

Melania’s footwear didn’t set people off on Twitter, unlike with past trips to visit hurricane victims — in August 2017, she headed to Texas to get a firsthand look at Hurricane Harvey ’s impact, wearing a green bomber jacket and black Manolo Blahnik heels. She later returned to Texas wearing a $1,590 Ralph Lauren safari shirtdress and a pair of snakeskin heels by the famous designer. In December, on a third visit, the first lady wore a $1,188 green Rag & Bone jacket with skinny jeans and black heeled boots.
Then, in October, to visit Hurricane Maria victims in Puerto Rico, FLOTUS wore sleek navy blue pumps.
FLOTUS is not offended by criticism over her clothing, as she explained in Friday’s “ Being Melania ,” an exclusive ABC interview shot during her recent trip to Africa. In fact, she serves it back. During the special, Melania confessed to wearing a Zara jacket which read, “I really don’t care. Do u?” in June to visit children in a Texas detention center, “ for the left-wing media who are criticizing me.”
Last week, while another controversy brewed over a white pith helmet Melania wore in Kenya, which many felt represented colonialism, she said, “I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear.”

The reason he was hogging the umbrella was to cover that huge ass of his which is at least two ax handles wide.
