for windy days, so that his hair doesn't flip off his head sideways for the photographers?

All 'Rump would have to do is instruct the staff to provide them. Of course they might not want to put something that could be used as a weapon in his family's hands.

I remember my father always walking on the street side of the sidewalk. I always thought it was so quaint and old fashioned. And chivalrous. And I'm independent enough that my husband was never really a door opener, but our son? This man is a monster.

You'd think that as wealthy as his father allegedly is, he could afford to get his kid his own umbrella or a raincoat.

They mean nothing to him. It's no wonder his kids are all so fucked up. Poor Barron, I don't think that kid stands a chance of being a decent human being considering how he is being raised.

Everyone else is on this earth for his benefit. I feel sorry for Barron - at least he probably almost never interacts with his father. It's one of the only times a parent actually helps by ignoring their child.

No more Darth Vader lair head shot in the wind for him.

Rain or shine, you never know when a gust might reveal some truth.

Mark the date - umbrella forever more.

Would you wanna share an umbrella with Trump ?

And if it was to shield Trump's hair from the wind, wouldn't you be cool with that if you were stuck behind Trump ?

It was just after it came out that Trump, Sr was afraid of sharks.

The picture was of Assface, Melania and Baron, and Baron was wearing a shirt with a YUGE shark on it!

Poor kid.

And I’m not picking on Barron.

But, is he enrolled in school? I remember that they didn’t move to Washington because of his school term. But, does he attend school now?
