Yes, Trump viewed the eclipse without glasses. 'Don't look,' an aide shouted.

[DesertRat]

Yup. He really did.

Luckily, President Donald Trump's perfect genes make him impervious to the Sun's death-rays.

That's why he impulsively decided to ignored scientists' and doctors' warnings, and took off his eye protection glasses while viewing a total solar eclipse today. The astronomical event was a rare opportunity for people in the United States to see a total eclipse, as a swath of the country from Oregon to the Southeast allowed great viewing opportunities.

“Don't look,” an aide shouted at him.

Nevertheless, he persisted.

4. It has been observed by more than one person

that trump does not like to be told what to do. Remember this: he knows better than anyone what to do. It is a wonder someone didn't encourage him to "look just a little longer, Sir." Heh, heh, heh....

12. Lucky for you. But Washington, DC was not in totality.

If he hurt his eyes, he won't know for a day or so. Retinas have no pain receptors. Sad.
