'Not too bright': Trump trolled for staring at the eclipse with no eye protection

The internet has had fun with images of the US president looking up at the sky during the eclipse without glasses, in defiance of repeated health warnings

The internet has made hay with images of the US president looking up at the sky during the solar eclipse without glasses, despite repeated warnings that doing so can lead to permanent eye damage.

Donald Trump was filmed on the balcony of the White House, standing with his wife Melania Trump and his son Barron. Before donning special eclipse glasses he squinted up at the sky and pointed. An aide was apparently heard off camera shouting "Don't look!".
