We could have had the blind leading the country.

President Trump, deciding to challenge the sun itself, stared straight into the solar eclipse Monday afternoon without protective glasses — showing the entire nation exactly what not to do.

Despite constant warnings about potential eye damage or even blindness, Trump briefly stole an unprotected glance at the eclipse after watching it safely with First Lady Melania Trump and their son Barron outside the White House.

An aide in the crowd below was heard shouting “Don’t look!” right as Trump looked.

De Blasio missed chance to snag protective glasses for eclipse

Social media immediately took note, mocking Trump for doing what scientists and optometrists have warned against for weeks.

Viewers of the total solar eclipse needed to have special glasses to watch the historic event, since regular sunglasses are not strong enough to shield from its intense glare. Watching it with no protection at all was even more dangerous and raised the risk of going blind.

Other members of the Trump administration seemed to get the memo.

Don't look!

Don't look!

Vice President Pence and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions were spotted checking out the eclipse with the right glasses on.

The Trump family could have also learned something from the Bush family, which tweeted a photo showing several members â€” including former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush â€” watching the eclipse with proper protection.

By example, Trump will lead the entire country into blindness. As a blind president, he might still want to lead. He rass playing with fire and too dumb to know it. Trump and Jagdeo must have attended the same August school. Rich by crookedness and little else.
