Donald Trump likes to think of himself as a gentleman, but a recent viral moment captured on video suggests otherwise. Donald and his wife, Melania Trump, were caught in the rain by reporters who were angling to ask him a few questions, and during the whole exchange, Donald, who was holding the umbrella, seemed to forget that his wife was getting drenched.

Donald Trump Leaves Melania Trump Out In The Rain

In the video, Donald and Melania were walking hand and hand when Donald noticed the reporters and dropped his wife’s hand to approach the group. “She did a great job on television the other night,” he told the reporters, gesturing at Melania. “And I didn’t do so bad either,” he added, “but she did a great job on television.”

He then retreated back to his waiting wife, who was brushing rain off of her face, and took her hand again as they started back toward their destination. The cameras followed them, however, and captured Donald only holding his umbrella above his own head, leaving Melania to continue to get soaked by the rain.

Social Media Reactions

In the comment section of the video, social media users were ruthless in calling out Trump for his lack of manners. "He was probably scared his tan would wash off," one person suggested, and another asked, "Is this a surprise?"

"What a gentleman...NOT!!" another comment reads.

"Afraid of his hair going flat and his makeup running," another person agreed.

"It's honestly just a lack of respect," pointed out another.

"As always, he thinks and cares about no one except himself!" added the next person.

"What man lets his woman get wet in the rain?" asked another.

"This man is no gentleman at all he hogging up the whole umbrella for himself and didn't even cover his wife!" a final user posted.
