(CNN)Most of the country has moved on from the solar eclipse, but President Donald Trump on Thursday retweeted a meme of "the best eclipse ever," featuring a montage of four photos that show Trump blocking former President Obama.




The meme was shared by YouTube personality Jerry Travone, who had previously shared an extremely anti-Semitic tweet on Sunday. This is not the first time that Trump has retweeted content from users known for making anti-Semitic statements.

On Monday, some parts of the United States experienced a total eclipse where the moon completely blocked the sun for a short time.

He's a twitter troll.

He's a sub-human.

He is a racist, sexist, thoroughly nasty piece of shit.

My wife won't allow him in our home on the television. In person , I can't imagine what would happen.

In a way the eclipse tweet is somewhat accurate. The moon is a minor satellite, totally lifeless made up of barren rocky soil shining only because of the sun.

The sun, on the other hand, is a star. It gives us light and life. So the lifeless, soulless moon passing in front of the sun, blotting out light and life is appropriate for that soulless, lifeless dreck, the satellite of comrade Putin/Comey et. al., who is blocking out our light and life that was shining and could have been even brighter if not for those who seem to want to make everything dead.

A solar eclipse is when the cool dark object moves in front of the ginormous orange ball of flaming gas.

He's a cold, deal, lifeless, crater filled combination of rock and noxious gas, TEMPORARILY blocking the rays of sunshine of President Obama?

Sounds about right to me. Not to mention that those in the path of the eclipse experience darkness and cold.

And since eclipses last about as long as it take you to pop a boil on you ass, he'll be about as short-lived.

In fact, his contribution to American History is going to be as thin as a pubic hair spilt in two.

he'll be the center of attention for just a short time, like the moon was during the eclipse.

Make that, no, he doesn't know that, and he doesn't understand eclipses.

Nor did he seem to be aware of how to view the partial one where he was. Nor did he seem to want to take his young son there, missing an amazing often once in a lifetime sight. I am sure he was not telling Baron much about the science of it (otherwise they would have gone to totality and known when to use the glasses).
He is a dumb ass. Obama had intelligence and class.

I'm sure Obama had his issues with Dubya, but I don't remember anything even remotely like the Trump attacks on Obama. It seems racist.

Should do this with Trump in the back, but Muller closing in on the front. Push it online, Trump might lose his mind.

Is Donald a lifeless grey moon when Obama is the sun? I'm getting waking nightmares about a monocolour Trump drifting across various views and events like the Gentlemen in that scary episode of Buffy.

This coming out on the day that Hillary put in writing that the Orange Buffoon was - more or less - intimidating/stalking her on that 2nd debate last year cannot be a coincidence.
The sheer childishness and amateur spite of this man gets worse. No, not worse but every day, somehow, a new facet of his petty mind gets prominence. After - it seems - a lifetime of Donald being Donald, he, at least, has new tricks up his sleeve; problem is that they are equally horrifying.
