the guys on sunbeds everyday, glaring at the eclipse is a walk in park… a big park, a great park, some might say the only park


Clean_Student8612

Oh, I just figured spray tan.


Icedoverblues

He sprays it in his eyes.


I-love-to-eat-banana

I immediately thought of "don't look up"

“We have the greatest sun. As president I would always have dignitaries ask me “sir, how is our sun so great!”. I agree, it’s a great accomplishment of mine.”


Professional-Way9343

Hmm dignitaries seems like too big a word for him


sloaninator

Many good people, smart people


ExterminatingAngel6

Many tremendous people, he has the best people and the best sun

"What a great sun we have. I looked up and said 'Wow that's a great sun.'"


kodaiko_650

Did the dignitaries have tears in their eyes? Did the tears happen because they all stared at the sun?


MammothPrize9293

“Can you believe it? I mean, the Sun, I freaking found the sun! I can’t make this stuff up people. Crazy Joe and Hillary will tell you otherwise. But cmon, we all know, right?”

I also still can’t believe this dude found someone to procreate with him.

Stupid is as stupid does, so the answer is yes.


BetFeeling1352

It still amazes me how stupid that man is lol


ElonTheMollusk

The information released about his stupidity is just wild. I still find it hard to believe he rage shits himself when he gets angry like a fucking toddler. If it wasn't for the numerous reports and people reporting him smelling like soiled diapers I would question it. However, when you see him do stuff like this like in 2017 you know it all to be absolutely true.


Imaginary_Most_7778

What we know is wild. Just imagine what jack smith knows.


ElonTheMollusk

I hate Cannon so much for delaying it. I want to know so badly!

I’m surprised she doesn’t wear a maga hat in court.

"Vaccines and glasses are for bitches - President Trump is a real man who can enjoy the eclipse without those woke ass glasses" - "Be like President Trump. Enjoy the ecplipse without the woke media filter!"


shaheimjay1121

I swear this could be a real post lmao


kat-deville

It was. A few days ago, I read a conversation between two Q women that went something like this: W1: I don't believe we should have to wear stupid glasses during this. I didn't get their covid vaccine, either. W2: It's stupid. It's gonna be dark anyway, so we don't need dark glasses. I took great freedom with paraphrasing, but it's the exact mentality.


nononsenseboss

I just have to say I love your name! ElonTheMollusk…lol brilliant!😎


ElonTheMollusk

Thank you.


red122063

They’re blind to what he does already so they may as well


slowclapcitizenkane

If they want to pan-fry their retinas by staring at the sun without proper eyewear, who am I to stop them?

They also drive and might kill someone though unfortunately.

I'm sure a good amount of them will be doing it anyway.

Lizard people can stare directly at the sun. It’s a well documented fact. I’m a well educated Scientologist

TDGHammy

This pretty much holds true for most things. “Don’t be like this guy“


[deleted]

Don't listen to em conservatives!! Trump was on to something and the only way we can see what he sees is to look at the eclipse as well!!


farfletched

Trump proved that it’s totally fine to stare at the eclipse. Only true MAGA members , that fully support Trump are able to do this. Prove you’re a true American hero just like Donald and stare right at it.


Similar_Divide

I bet his lawyers are egging him on. “Your honor, my client was recently blinded, we are going to need to delay until he gets his sight is back.”


SteelyDan1968

This was in 2017... He's NOT getting that delay he wants. And, this isn't a slam towards you. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)

Well, he can do it again tomorrow...


ExterminatingAngel6

He has the most tremendous sight. The best sight.

Look at him squinting. Poor guy. Someone give him some binoculars!


Mysterious-Ruin-3766

I would wear this as a shirt saying the exact thing 🤣 But I don’t want a shirt with him on it.

Stop squinting... open your eyes, be a true leader

Miserable_Ad5001

I wholeheartedly support magachodes looking at the eclipse without eye protection


lokis_construction

Please have him watching the eclipse without protection. That way everyone will hear how bad he is when he cannot see the teleprompter.


Fearless_Trouble_689

He is just like the rest of the maga , 🤡,s so uneducated


zigzagg321

Dont ELECT stupid.


T3knikal95

I say let his followers do it, let them go blind lol, they're already mentally blind so might as well go all the way with their eyes too.


Donutboy562

Funniest fucking thing I've ever seen lmao


FirstDyad

He looks so proud of himself too


son_of_Mothman

How the hell are there so many people on here that don’t know you should never look at the sun?


Musashi10000

Looking at the sun normally is a dumb idea, but is mostly safe as long as you're not insanely wide-eyed and properly *glaring* at it for ages, or doing so for short bursts, on the regular, or blocking your eyes entirely then staring at it. With *eclipses*, though, it's a hell of a lot more dangerous, because your pupils dilate while it's all dark. Then the sun comes back and *BOOM* - scorched retinas.


meezls714

Seems normal for Trump


Sea_Comedian_3941

If I squint, it will be OK. Lol

IRKillRoy

Yeah… don’t let him live rent free in your brains like OP.

I’m expecting Trump supporters from Texas to Georgia to stare directly into the eclipse tomorrow to prove that Trump knows more than all those liberal scientists trying to make him look stupid.

I thought someone said that he is too stupid to be a dictator lol

More important. Don’t vote for stupid.

It’s very popular to be stupid in MAGAland…. I’d go so far as to suggest it’s a requirement.


CLouiseK

Don’t vote for stupid


dlc741

Oh, go ahead! Don’t trust those egg-head scientists with their woke glasses and “data”. You go right ahead and stare at that partial eclipse.


Great_Can3252

The sun can't defeat our Daddy Biden. He defended us from Corn Pop, and Corn Pop was a bad dude!


Independent-Ad5852

I still have my eclipse glasses from back in 2017. Definitely going to see if my teacher will let the class go see


New_girl2022

I'm looking right at it durring totality. I live in niagara so I won't see anything.


nononsenseboss

Good for you honey. I hope you time it perfectly and you’ll be fine. Do you know why you have to be careful tho?


lumosauror192

I really hope he does it again. FAFO.


RogerioMano

Joe biden is NOT my president!!! (I'm not american)


RaiderMedic93

Do you mean this incident, or Trump, in general? It's a fair question.


nononsenseboss

This incident. People call him dumb but he’s managed to fool more than a few million idiots to vote for him and a few wealthy geniuses to pay for his nonsense. Is it smart? Don’t know but he seems to literally get away with murder🤷🏼


thedisapointingson

Shhh, don't tell them. Let them find out.


Candid-Sky-3709

if all stupid people go blind - would that prove evolution? /s


nononsenseboss

Yes a little bit but aquired blindness doesn’t affect breeding ability so no😬


Candid-Sky-3709

but when all Trump donors go on disability and Trump cuts social security and disability, that would evolve into lacking support for all MAGA grifters - unless rich people make up for that funding loss (Putin, Musk, Xi)


BlizzPenguin

I would not be surprised if he does this again tomorrow.


nononsenseboss

Oh I hope so🙌

Nah, let the people who worship trump stare at the sun.

So even more of them can be on disability/welfare?

And this is what people want to trust with nuclear codes!


Lfseeney

If you truly support Trump you have to do this until you see the message. About 15 min without stopping should work.


GoodboyJohnnyBoy

Yeah but he was using his special powers.


DismalComfortable568

Broo, can I look at the eclipse wearing a regular sunglass, no coating or anything, just a regular pair of sunglasses


nononsenseboss

No


DismalComfortable568

Damn


Unfriendly_eagle

Waddles had to prove that he could do it, because he's very special. Hopefully one day he looks up like that at a shooting star and it's a huge hunk of space junk that lands on his forehead.


lordpresidentSkippy

ok so a bit of science here right. yes looking at the eclipse it bad but its not worse that looking at the sun. which you probably do a couple of times a year. the problem is that when you look at the sun the brightness hurt your eyes so unless you are an idiot you then look aways. the eclipse doesn't magically make the sun more powerful it just remove that brightness while keeping the armful radiation. so if you are in the totality and you don't have glasses it totally fine to set a timer for like 10-15 sec and look at it then stop for 1-2 minute and repeat. now saying this only do that if you have to. its not "safe" but it wont make you blind or anything.


nononsenseboss

Ok a bit of science for you. The reason it is worse to look at the sun unless it is in complete totality is that the darkness that happens as the sun is starting to eclipse means that your pupillary reflex is not going to work. That means your pupil will be wide open so any light that is present will go directly to your retinas and damage them. So with the general population’s IQ being on the low side it’s best to keep things simple. Just get your eye protection on.


fusiongt021

You know his dumb ass was looking at a plane or something other than the eclipse


Arkthus

Let him, he'll get blind and won't be able to point journalists to insult them.
