The east coast is currently being savaged by a Nor’easter, with Washington, D.C. getting hit by 60-mph-plus winds. Under those conditions, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump boarded Air Force One to head to the funeral for Rev. Billy Graham.
But Trump, who prefers the warmth of Florida to the winters of D.C., had no patience for the weather, hauling it up the stairs of Air Force One, leaving his wife to fend for herself in the wind.

He doesn’t even pretend to care about Melania. Guess with these winds he didn’t want a repeat of “combover-gate.” Smfh https://t.co/Bv0oRc3eHT

In comparison to everything else, this is trivial and superficial, but the way @realDonaldTrump treats @FLOTUS in public – or, more accurately, seems to completely disregard her as a human being and his wife – speaks volumes about his character. https://t.co/g5bFeZgge5

But there’s something else notable about the video. Watch it again:

It’s the windiest day in D.C. in years. Trees have been downed across the area. And not two weeks ago, Trump’s hair set the internet asunder when it flapped in the breeze and revealed his scalp.
Today, it didn’t move a millimeter.
Lots of shellac keeping Dotard’s hair in place today.
