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