Ignoring fake news by medical professionals, Trump looks directly at sun

It's actually a little safer. The danger comes from curiosity overriding your natural instinct to look away.

Actually no. The eclipse dilates your eyes and allows sun rays to damage your eyes in ways they won't normally be able to.

Y'know, why bother educating all the people in this thread who didn't bother to educate themselves for weeks before the eclipse.

He was wearing eclipse glasses before taking them off to look at the sun. Because of the dark glasses, his pupils were likely dilated which means even a brief glance can cause permanent damage. Not enough to blind him, but still damage.

I think it was cloudy in DC.

It was cloudy where I was and the eclipse glasses weren't showing me anything because of it.

When the clouds got relatively thin enough to see the outline of the sun, I just looked up at it. And that was better than nothing.

Was I supposed to? No.
Did my eyes melt out of my skull and am I now blind? Yes.

lol ok this got me

Criticize him for the actual dumb things he does. Doing 10 fake criticisms per day just muddies the water and makes you sound desperate.


Well I'm sorry Grinchy, but this orange halfwit almost started a nuclear war with North Korea, has kowtowed to a foreign aggressor, has attempted to and promised to eliminate rights for gay and trans Americans and has overseen the absolute destruction of the dignity of the American presidency in less than 200 days.

We are fucking desperate.

But hey, go back to your tone policing, that's helping.
 
Even if he’s not guaranteed to suffer permanent eye damage by staring at the sun unprotected, several times, it’s a completely unnecessary risk for a sitting president to take with their health.

And it makes him look dumb, but that’s belaboring the point.
