Everything the witless does is done "unwittingly".
He belongs in a Witless Protection Program facility...but those were shut down by the courts decades ago.
I believe he knew exactly what he was doing. He had some very unappetizing photos taken of him a day or two earlier drenched by a rain shower. He wouldn’t allow that to happen again and by having the Marines hold the umbrellas he was advertising who is in charge.....him. Total narcissist.
