Twitter Roasts Trump For Looking at Eclipse Without Glasses

Trump’s total disregard of expert advice that the eclipse shouldn’t be looked at directly was mocked on Twitter.

Remember how NASA put out an advisory on how to view the 2017 solar eclipse safely? Remember how it said that you shouldn’t look at the eclipse directly?

US President Donald Trump seemed to have missed the memo.

He was spotted looking at the eclipse without safety glasses against the advice of his aides. He was obviously also caught squinting as he looked up at the sun.
