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?
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/
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.
What a fucking dork
