Keegan-Michael Key mocks President Donald Trump’s umbrella mishap
Keegan-Michael Key mocks President Donald Trump’s umbrella mishap during a 'Mary Poppins' tribute.
Keegan-Michael Key dove into the 2019 Oscars from above, clutching a floating umbrella in tribute to "Mary Poppins" — and possibly in mockery of President Donald Trump.
At the end of Key's entrance, which was to present Bette Midler's performance of "Mary Poppins Returns" song "The Place Where the Lost Things Go," he ditched his large black umbrella instead of closing it.

Trump's viral moment occurred after he gave a speech about the shooting at Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue.
Twitter took notice of Key's low-key shade.
One user posted a clip of Key's grand entrance, writing, "Keegan-Michael Key is as hapless as Trump at closing an umbrella."
"Keegan Michael Key shades Trump by ditching an umbrella that he can’t figure out how to close!!! Hahaha," another user wrote.
"The brilliant Keegan-Michael Key trolls Trump's umbrella faux pas during the #Oscars," another wrote, accompanying the tweet with a GIF of Trump's poor handling.
Another summed it up as, "Keegan Michael Key trolling Trump was 100 #Oscars."
It wasn't the only Trump diss of the evening.
