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. Keep reading for more information.
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.
