That makes him smart.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

You shoved your face into the sun?

That might leave a mark.

Video. You can hear his staff yelling at him.

 

[Pbae]

Imagine how baller Obama would look in eclipse glasses.

He's doing perfectly fine eclipsing this current Presidency.

The sun never went out when Obama was president, is all I'm saying

God damn.

Even 100 seconds of exposure can cause total vision loss that may not return, especially for the elderly. Damage starts instantly. If you stop and refocus your vision multiple times, uh, you're staring pretty hard. HOW DID NO ONE THERE HAVE GLASSES FOR HIM OR HIS FAMILY? ARE YOU SHITTING ME?

Fake edit: Oh, they DID, they just didn't feel like handing them out beforehand? Barron deserves better parenting than this.
Damn, this is all I'll think about the rest of the day. Pleeeeeeease tell me this happened somewhere today.

Go to the video clip on the first page. He literally takes them off to stare directly into the sun.

Edit:

The video is even worse!

Photoshop GAF, you know what you must do.

 

[Red]

Oh say, can you see?

 

[LogicAirForce]

i can't stop laughing omg

 

[TAJ]

Burn-in on screens annoys the shit out of me. Imagine burn-in on your eyes. Woof

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Oh say, can you see?

I always preferred to hear it as "Jose, can you see."

 

[Seik]

LOL

 

[liquidtmd]

Obama is busy today

I'd say satire but who knows

 

[Shake Appeal]

Oh God, Barron has his own monogrammed polos.

This fucken family.

 

[John Rabbit]

lmao this is getting insane now.


We all did this today. Admit it.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

 

[Harmen]

Haha, there was a poster on gaf saying Trump would be stupid enough to do this in that "is it safe outside during the eclipse?" thread. And along with anyones expectations, he is.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Eh. It's not good for you, but it very very rarely causes people to go blind.

Men Partially Blinded From A Solar Eclipse Warn Others To Watch Safely

 

[Arcia]

lol this is perfect

 

[wwm0nkey]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

Yeah and that is enough to fuck your eyes up

 

[BoogieWoogie]

We all did this today. Admit it.

Yo I sure as fuck didn't!

 

[Blitzrules240]

Cue the music.

 

[SheSaidNo]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

Seriously haha, if you watch the stream of it, he glanced at it like two or three times for a second. So did literally everybody else in the background

 

[cdyhybrid]

lmao this is getting insane now.


We all did this today. Admit it.

Speak for your damn self

 

[KoopaTheCasual]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

There's 4 different shots of him staring directly into the sun after taking off his glasses. This goes beyond morbid curiosity.

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

I mean I think (hope) most people are just having a few laughs here, but you have to admit the video where he literally has the glasses on then takes them off to look at the eclipse makes him look like a fucking idiot.

He has glasses he just keeps taking them off

 

[TAJ]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

Two seconds is enough for minor but permanent damage.
Not that he needs his eyes much longer.

 

[JettDash]

I hope he goes blind.

This.

 

[rudger]

Well I've always been curious how dangerous staring at an eclipse actually is. Glad he took one for the team. We will figure it out when he walks into something (or better yet, off of something)

 

[ZackieChan]

Nutted but she still suckin

Brb using imagination because no pics

 

[Pillville]

Oh God, Barron has his own monogrammed polos.

This fucken family.

Are you kidding? I'm sure he has his own monogrammed yacht, Porsche, and butler.

 

[Loudninja]

Really guys? He just glanced for a couple of seconds.

Umm that still messes your eyes up.

 

[StoneFox]

I can't believe this is real. What a dumbass. Surely after the first time his eyes started hurting but he kept doing it? I'm dying of laughter over here, he's like a baby that doesn't know better than to stare at the shiny thing.

 

[Nickle]

LMAO

 

[Garlador]

Is he... sizing up the sun?

 

[Salarians]

lmao this is getting insane now.


We all did this today. Admit it.

no? some of us like our eyes

 

[ghostjoke]

If ever there was a perfect metaphor

 

[TAJ]

[kiguel182]

Honestly thought this was going to be an Onion article

 

[Vuze]

No way he did this. Come on now.

 

[kevin1025]

Hope he's able to read Stephen Miller's speech tonight after that.

 

[jiiikoo]

Is he... sizing up the sun?

Hes invisioning his own orange face replacing the sun and bathing the earth in his everlasting glow.

 

[Electric Eye]

By the way the symptoms are not immediate you can look at the sun and be ok and then the next morning wake up with your eyes fucked. It takes a while for the tissue in your eyes to die. Let's see how he does this evening with the teleprompter.

 

[Fred-87]

Someone need to protect him, he is a danger to himself.

 

[TAJ]

No way he did this. Come on now.

How is video real if your eyes aren't real?

 

[BoogieWoogie]

No way he did this. Come on now.

He did it multiple times for several seconds.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Maybe he thinks the danger is made up by the Chinese too?

 

[mavo]

Oh God, Barron has his own monogrammed polos.

This fucken family.

Whats wrong with it?

 

[commedieu]

He glanced up... twice.

Not enough to blind him as I hoped.

Thanks for nothing gaf.
