In today's world, it needs to be a hashtag #YRCMTSU

Is Trump Going To Stare At the Eclipse? An Analysis

"When you’re a star they let you ogle other stars."



All the best memes about Trump's choice to look directly at the eclipse
In a moment you probably should have seen coming: President Donald J. Trump, despite consistent warnings to do the opposite, stared directly at the solar eclipse.
If there is one thing everyone knows about Monday's solar eclipse, it is that staring at the eclipse without proper eyewear can cause permanent eye damage.
But ever one to defy warnings, Trump removed his protective eyewear and looked straight at the sun. It's what he does best!

God forbid if something else grab the country's attention for a day. So, like the whore that he is, he pulled this dumbass stunt just so he could once again makes headlines.

I'm not joking either. I really do think he's capable of being that pathetic.

Millions of people today enjoyed focusing on something other than the disaster in WH, but it seems he can't let us have even one day without his obnoxious presence. There was no reason to schedule a primetime speech today, when nothing exceptional was announced, except he felt need to grab spotlight away from everyone watching eclipse

Because he couldn't bear an hour when people were thinking about climate change, war, continuity of government, factionalism and how the personality of a leader can make or break a situation.

Oh, and dragons and zombies.

But yeah, eclipse, too. He wants to be the bride at every wedding (and his properties sell this as a feature since it's a bug they can't fix) and the corpse at every funeral.
