Luckily, President Donald Trump's perfect genes make him impervious to the Sun's death-rays.
That's why he impulsively decided to ignored scientists' and doctors' warnings, and took off his eye protection glasses while viewing a total solar eclipse today. The astronomical event was a rare opportunity for people in the United States to see a total eclipse, as a swath of the country from Oregon to the Southeast allowed great viewing opportunities.
Don't look, an aide shouted at him.
Nevertheless, he persisted.

(5,815 posts)that trump does not like to be told what to do. Remember this: he knows better than anyone what to do. It is a wonder someone didn't encourage him to "look just a little longer, Sir." Heh, heh, heh....
