‘Glasses Are For Cucks’: Twitter Reacts to Trump Staring Directly At Solar Eclipse
Americans across the country enjoyed the solar eclipse on Monday — and President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were no exception. They were seen standing outside the Truman Balcony of the White House to take in the rare natural event.
Twitter latched onto Trump’s cameo during the solar eclipse coverage as the president appeared to stare directly into the sun without any eye protection — a risky move given the dangers of solar radiation. An aide shouted at the president “don’t look!” as he gazed up into the sky, according to the Wall Street Journal‘s Ted Mann.
