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.

Twitter swiftly took note.

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.

Someone definitely told him about that video.
