Safety tips:
- Only use special eclipse glasses; regular sunglasses aren’t safe
- Wait for 100% totality before taking off your eclipse glasses. (If you don’t have eclipse glasses, wait for totality before looking at all)
- Have a timer prepared on your phone set to the duration of the eclipse at your location, so you know when to put your glasses back on.
- When the sun is mostly (but not fully) eclipsed, it will likely not feel painful to look at it, but it will still damage your eyes permanently.
I never bothered to look into this, is he looking up right when it’s at a 100%? It’d be dark out, no?
It was only partial in DC in 2017
He was not looking up when it was 100% dark out. You should be able to tell from the photo, but it he also just wasn’t.
And now he’s doing this. What the fuck? https://time.com/6964573/trump-bizarre-solar-eclipse-campaign-ad/
What a fucking dork
Oh ffs. He’s such a vainglorious idiot that he doesn’t even know he should be completely, totally, and irredeemably embarrassed for doing such a stupid thing…but no. There is nothing in him that is not infused with empty, unearned pride.
In his defense, it does look terrifying.
“My ego will block out the sun!”
“Then we will vote in the shade.”
