His thumb can't reach the button. Plus, it's the plebs job to do that menial peasant task. TheBlackAdder Aug 2020 #13

the end. You will see a person in black come from his right, take the umbrella from him and close it as Trump is walking away.

let alone master. For starters, he couldn't seem to figure out how to get it in the door, kind of like those videos of dogs carrying a long stick and they don't know how to get it through a fence (hint for Trump and dogs: Turn it sideways). It looked like someone else inside the airplane actually understood how to fold it up. The weird shoes might be golf shoes, or shoes specially designed to hide cloven hooves.

Golf shoes. I guess we know where he plans to go after his obligatory pretend-he-cares token appearance

Lots of nice golf courses in Louisiana and Texas where is visiting today for hurricane disaster relief.

Maybe he hopes to sneak off and catch a little golf,.. being that he is on a pResidential business visit he probably intends to charge his entire golfing outing to Uncle Sam's account.

This guy pays for everything with someone else's dime, certainly not his own.

Pretty earth-mother of him.

Probably he's got foot problems (bunions?) and can't bear the wingtip shoes with the lifts he usually uses.

He should just wear black socks, and no one would notice he didn't have shoes on.
