TRUMP LOOKING AT THE ECLIPSE WITHOUT GLASSES IS ‘PERHAPS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE THING ANY PRESIDENT HAS EVER DONE

President Trump did something on Monday that you’re not supposed to do during a solar eclipse. He looked up without special glasses.
Trump had a pair of glasses, mind you. But he sauntered onto a White House balcony and glanced squinty-eyed at the sky, ignoring the warnings of doctors and scientists, before pulling his protective eyewear out of a pocket.
Was the president being reckless with his retinas? Setting a bad example for others? Hardly, according to Tucker Carlson.
“In a move that is not a complete surprise, he looked directly at the sun without any glasses,” Carlson marveled on his Fox News show, “perhaps the most impressive thing any president has ever done.”
Carlson delivered the line with a straight face, perhaps the most impressive thing any TV host has ever done.
Carlson was surely joking, but there is a lot of truth in his remark. He is absolutely right that Trump’s disregard of expert advice is unsurprising. We are talking about the man who once said, “I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me.”
