US President Donald Trump has discarded an umbrella on the airport tarmac instead of bringing it aboard Air Force One.

Mr Trump had just finished addressing the media in the rain and was carrying his own large umbrella as he approached Air Force One.

But as he attempted to board the plane, instead of closing the large umbrella so it could fit through the door, Mr Trump just dropped it outside.

Social media users were quick to pounce on the unusual incident.
