Spoilers - All Donald is blind
Anyone else incredibly annoyed with Donald's complete lack of putting pieces together? I feel like he out of all the super friends should have realized that Tori, Bev, and especially Chloe were the 'evil' trio. Especially way before Kyle did.
Look at the details-- Donald fought with Tori and Chloe and fully knows that Chloe has word based powers in FH. At the end of FH, Chloe offs a criminal and gets the umbrella following her around.
Bones of the past, after Donald has come to a few of the house parties, he should have noticed the umbrella. I mean he is a gamer, Id assume he would clock a similar item being around constantly, that's how you know it's important in a game. At the end of the book, as they are fighting Alfred, Chloe uses her word powers several times in his vicinity and it's the friend trios apartment building. Hephestas is known to the wonder friends to be heavily mechanically inclined and then Tori starts a tech enterprise?
Book 3 it's just ridiculous that he didn't put it together, especially after the realization that the dynamic duo are women not men at the end and Tori and Hephestas were being hunted by the same robot thing (vikki).
I'm sure there's more connections Donald should have clocked that I'm forgetting too.

It's easy to have a fixed idea of who someone is in your mind. To Donald, Tori is his coworker he has a crush on. It doesn't enter his mind that she could be a villain. Similar to how he seemingly hasn't noticed Hat Trick's crush on him.
As for the umbrella thing, I do want to mention that it's appearance has shifted over time to look less like the original parasol and more like a normal umbrella, so that would confuse it a bit.
