... [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.

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

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”?

Trump doesn’t look at servicemen (particularly white servicemen) as slaves.

It’s even worse that Obama was right in front of them, not ten feet as I remembered. What an A-hole Obama was and is.

I have to say, for a moment, I thought the Mooch was auditioning for the Adam’s Family, with that strategically placed topiary.
