President Stares at Sun Without Glasses

One person who apparently did not heed the warnings about how to view Monday's solar eclipse: the president. As multiple outlets including USA Today report, President Trump appeared to look at the sun without any protective eye wear for at least a moment during the eclipse. Space.com's headline: "President Trump Shows How Not to Watch an Eclipse." The ill-advised stare was apparently brief; most pictures show Trump, along with wife Melania, son Barron, and others, watching the eclipse from the White House balcony with the proper protective eye wear. According to Wall Street Journal reporter Ted Mann, as Trump glanced toward the sky sans glasses, an aide yelled, "Don't look." (More President Trump stories.)
