Attendees at President Donald Trump's inauguration Friday experienced inclement weather during the ceremony.

But former President George W. Bush didn't seem to like the rain - and he struggled with a plastic sheet as he attempted to cover himself up.

Here's the photo sequence Reuters assembled showing the amusing moment:
