President Donald Trump took in the solar eclipse from the Truman Balcony of the White House on Monday, even briefly glancing at the sun directly despite a shouted warning from an aide.
Sporting eclipse glasses — for only part of the viewing — and standing alongside Melania Trump and their son, Barron, Trump viewed what was a partial eclipse in Washington, DC. It began at 1:17 p.m. ET, peaked at 2:42 p.m., and was set to end at 4:01 p.m., The Washington Post reported. The moon covered 81% of the sun at the eclipse's peak in Washington.

Allan Smith needs to go @&#%@(^#%@ himself.
That’s it. The final straw for the American voter.
That’s two blunders today - he said “that’s too bad” about the destroyer collision. I didn’t understand what was wrong with that.
Impache 46!
I saw the film of Trump on the balcony. It did not appear that he was looking straight up at the sun.
.....and after that, he went inside and had two scoops of ice cream while everyone else only had one.

Fake news
Then he banged the ends of his knife and spoon down on the table and screeched “I WANT MORE. GIMME MORE. MORE MORE MORE!!!”
Hey - if it clears the confederate statue stories from the media (and it will)
Why’d they livestream it anyway?
And then he said, “To be honest, I’ve seen better eclipses. If I had done that eclipse, it would have been incredible. It would have been bigger, darker, and more impressive than any eclipse you’ve ever seen. It would have been 100% eclipsed, not 81%. Beautiful. Just beautiful.”
Women and minorities hardest hit.
Ditto.
Confederate crap was going away as soon as the media and dem leadership saw the internals of the NPR Marist poll that said 62% of Americans want the statues to stay and 44% of dems also wanted them to stay.
Beautiful... takes me back to those heady days when he had just announced and he was going around saying “and we’re gonna have a Big Beautiful Wall, it’s gonna be great, it’s gonna be tops, it’s gonna be the biggest best wall eveh, buh-lieve me.”
And then, there were the strawberries! That’s where they had him!
Let me guess and the sun reversed direction!
My cornea surgery is going to be the best cornea surgery, believe me.
Liberals would love it if Trump burned his retina, then he’d be shortsighted like them.
