A seven-year-old US president, well-known for his shenanigans, had peered straight at the Sun during a solar eclipse.
You’re correct if you believe that was Donald Trump. According to Metro, the event happened in 2017, one year after Trump assumed office.
Following the rules, people observed the “Great American Eclipse” across the US. Trump disregarded the instructions, though, which said not to stare at the sun if you aren’t wearing the proper eyewear.
During the live coverage, Ben Jacobs of The Guardian wrote: “At roughly 2:39, the President initially gestured to the crowd below and pointed at the sky.”
One of the White House assistants was beneath the Blue Room Balcony when he was doing this shouted ‘don’t look’.”
Following the president’s dangerous stunt, social media users flooded platforms with memes.
