Despite NASA Warnings, Trump Stares Directly At The Eclipse And Gets Roasted On Twitter

On August 21, many people took a break from their day, snagged a pair of special glasses, and viewed the solar eclipse. Besides enjoying the view, NASA scientists had one rule for everyone gazing at the eclipse: Do not stare directly at the sun.

For President Trump, August 21 was a day like any other, because he did exactly what someone said not to do.

  • Perhaps Trump thought the NASA warning was fake news

  • He did eventually put on the special eclipse viewing glasses

  • But it was too late, as the glasses-less image became a viral meme

  • People could not help but roast Trump and his eclipse defiance
