Trump struggles to take down umbrella during storm as he heads to Middle East

Donald Trump did battle with an uncooperative umbrella as he boarded Air Force One during a storm on his way to the Middle East.

Trump then departed for a victory lap in Israel and Egypt after successfully negotiating the return of hostages from Gaza.
