Remember This Pic? Well Trump Just Had His Defining "Umbrella Moment"
Conservative Tribune ^ | September 8 2017 | Cillian Zeal

... [F]or Barack Obama, one of the moments that crystallized why he frustrated so many Americans came not from anything he did, but rather what he forced a Marine to do for him back in 2013.

Back then, Obama was holding a joint press conference in the White House Rose Garden with Turkish strongman Recep Tayyip Erdogan when it started to rain.

Instead of holding an umbrella for himself, he decided to have a U.S. Marine hold it for him — something that, as the U.K. Telegraph points out, isn't necessarily allowed by the Marine Corps regulations.

The "umbrella moment" became a telling faux pas for many Obama doubters, one that cemented their opinion of a man addicted to the trappings of power and utterly lacking in respect for the Armed Forces.

President Trump had his "umbrella moment" on Wednesday as he left the White House to board Marine One. You may notice a bit of a difference in how the two men handled it.

What a difference an election makes.

The light is coming from off-screen left; the shadow would be out-of-view on the right.

That's a winner!!

How the hell could you wear a dress like that while with the Queen of England.

Michelle has no sense of decency.

Trump’s “umbrella moment” should be when he bent down twice and replaced the hat on the marine’s head.

...

And the time he stood by Ben Carson, when Carson didn’t hear his name called.

Anyone have a Pic from the Beer Summit where the Police Officer is helping the old Black Professor down the stairs at the White House while Obama is ten feet in front of them?

The same Black Professor that accused the Police of Racism?

The same Police Officer that Obama said “acted stupidly”?

...

I’ll have to remember that one. I hadn’t heard it before. Everything and everybody was and is a tool for Obama to destroy all that’s good about America.

Defining moment, when Trump stays with Dr. Ben Carson, while Cruz and Jeb rush by.

Obama and Mooshell had no class while in the White Hut. ZERO. And they STILL don’t have a clue about how to act with dignity and grace. I guess some people are born with that ability (and raised properly), and some will never get it.
