Here is Donald Trump demonstrating all of that courage to protect others that he was bragging about.

President Donald Trump boarded Air Force One tugging an umbrella close to protect himself from the intense wind and rain. 

Barron Trump, the president’s 11-year-old son, is seen just feet behind him, unprotected by an umbrella or a raincoat. Trump, seeing his son, continues to keep the umbrella for himself. 

Then, Melania Trump arrives on the scene a little behind Barron, and she, too, has nothing to shield her from the elements. The president stops for a wave to the crowd as the First Lady ducks swiftly onto the plane. 

What began as a moving picture of Man vs. Nature turns, in mere seconds, into a scene of a man who would seemingly rather ensure that his hair is kept firmly in place than guard his family from inclement weather.

Observe my friends that man who claimed that he would rush unarmed into a hail of gunfire to protect children, yet leaves his own loved ones exposed to the elements as he protects only himself.

And his hair of course.

By the way for those who have forgotten what it was like to have a real caring leader in the White House. It was like this:

Pretty much sums up the Trump presidency. Don't you think?

What a gent! Donald Trump makes sure umbrella protects his famous locks but Melania and Barron are left to fend for themselves as First Family leave a blustery Mar-a-Lago.https://t.co/lxZNDC4jJW via @MailOnline

President Donald Trump along with wife Melania and son Barron boarded Air Force One amid rainy Florida weather on Martin Luther King Jr day. 

Photos show President 45 holding a large black umbrella close to his head - perhaps in an effort to keep his famous hair from being pelted by rain drops. 

But wife Melania, 47, and Barron, 11, were left to the mercy of the elements as they boarded the plane at Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach. 

It is not clear whether Trump, 71, at any point offered space under his large umbrella to his wife or son. 

Oh I think it's pretty clear.

He didn't.

And why in the hell would anybody who knows that Trump names everything after himself, and uses his Twitter account to engage in constant self aggrandizing, ever think to help anybody other than himself?

Ever? 

I think this actual image of Donald Trump looking up at the solar eclipse is all you need to know about his presidency. Update!

To be fair he DID eventually put on those "science specs" though he is pretty sure the idea that the sun can hurt your eyes is just "fake news."

Thus began the start of a million memes. pic.twitter.com/dB8WMS1Lu9

Still it's important to remember that this is how Trump first started his observation of the eclipse.

Remember folks THIS is the guy that millions of your fellow Americans actually thought should be in charge of your country.

I also heard that a number of Trump voters were in a blind panic because they did not understand what was happening and thought that Obama's renewable energy policies broke the sun.

Update: I've now heard from a number of sources that there were people in the crowd yelling at Trump to put on his eclipse glasses but he took quite some time to respond.

Melania Trump threatens to sue over video suggesting that her son has autism. Update!

Courtesy of TMZ: 

Melania Trump has hired a famous lawyer who is now threatening a lawsuit over a video suggesting her 10-year-old son, Barron, is autistic, and the letter calls out Rosie O'Donnell as a bully. 

According to the letter, obtained by TMZ, the YouTube video falsely insinuates Barron is autistic. The letter, and our sources familiar with the situation, say Barron absolutely is not autistic. 

This is the Rosie O'Donnell tweet that has angered Frau Trump.

Barron Trump Autistic? if so - what an amazing opportunity to bring attention to the AUTISM epidemic https://t.co/Acgy1Qxyqi via @YouTube

— Rosie (@Rosie) November 22, 2016

The letter says, "The video allegedly seeks to 'stop the bullying' of Barron Trump. Not true ... The video did instigate further bullying by Rosie O'Donnell and others." 

The video lists a number of signs it claims points to autism, including Barron clapping without slapping his hands together. Melania's attorney, Charles J. Harder, says Barron did this once -- at the end of a long day at the RNC -- but the "vast majority of the time, he claps normally." 

The "vast majority of the time, he claps normally?" Seriously?

Okay well here's the thing.

I also came out and stated that you cannot diagnose autism from a video, because you know what, you can't.  And to make these accusations without real proof is fairly nasty.

However by coming out like this publicly, and actually threatening to sue, Melania kind of gives it extra credibility.

Now I am not saying that the little Trump padawan is actually autistic or has any other mental development issues (Though with The Donald as his dad it is hard to think otherwise.), I am simply suggesting that by addressing this, and then threatening legal action, Melania is pushing this into a more public sphere and ensuring that this video is seen by many, many more people.

What is more, if the makers of the video call her bluff, and force her to take them to court, that might further embarrass the Trump family and this innocent child.

Oh and I almost forgot. This is going to be the First Family, and this is NOT how the First Family solves their problems.

Well, at least it didn't use to be.

Update: Well it looks like Melania won this one:

Melania Trump just got what she was after ... the man who posted the YouTube video suggesting Barron had autism is taking the video down. 

The guy who posted the video says, "TMZ just contacted me to tell me Melania Trump is threatening a lawsuit over this video ... I never ever meant this as a bullying video."

It appears that Rosie O'Donnell also took down her tweet which is why it will not display properly above. 

However if Melania thinks this video is gone forever, she really does not understand the internet.

Melania Trump will not be accompanying her husband to live in the White House. Cites family responsibilities.

Courtesy of the New York Post:  

Future First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron will not be moving to the White House after Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, The Post has learned. 

The president-elect’s 46-year-old wife and their 10-year-old son are staying put at the family’s glitzy Trump Tower penthouse so that Barron can continue attending his Upper West Side private school, sources told The Post. 

“Melania is extremely close to Barron, and they have become closer during the campaign,” said a source close to Trump’s transition team. “The campaign has been difficult for Barron, and she is really hoping to keep disruption to a minimum.” 

Another source said Melania Trump will travel to the White House as needed, but that her primary focus is on Barron. 

“Melania is very supportive of her husband and is fully on board of doing everything that’s needed as first lady,” said the second source familiar with the Trump transition.

Yeah except sleep with her husband every night.

Of course doing so takes the phrase "Doing it for your country" to a whole new, and disgusting place. 

Gee moving to separate states and using a child as a shield against criticism.

Hey you little bitch, don't forget who's in charge here.

Where have I seen all of that before.

Hey perhaps I am being too suspicious and Melania Trump is NOT just looking for an excuse to spend less time with her stubby fingered, orange tinted, morbidly obese sugar daddy.

Anybody buy that?
