Trump looked directly at the eclipse: Proof he is an IDIOT + Always does the Opposite
Mr Trump took three glances at the eclipse without his protective eyewear, according to CNN, while onlookers in the crowd below shouted “Don’t look!”.
Perhaps they’d read the advice from Mr Trump’s own US Department of the Interior.
Point number one on the department’s tips for viewing the 2017 eclipse reads:
It is NEVER safe to look at the sun during the eclipse. Except during the very short period of totality do not look directly at the sun without approved solar-viewing devices.
Mr Trump took the advice of the concerned crowd member before too long, and slipped on his protective glasses for a look.
But a few seconds of the president looking up without his glasses was all social media needed: View image on Twitter

Nurofen linked to increased risk of heart attack
Nurofen and Advil are among common over-the-counter painkillers that have been linked to a 31 per cent increased risk of heart attack.
A 10-year Danish study of nearly 30,000 patients found the use of ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs was associated with a 31 per cent increased risk of a cardiac arrest.
‘Allowing these drugs to be purchased without a prescription, and without any advice or restrictions, sends a message to the public that they must be safe,’ study author and cardiology professor Gunnar Gislason said.

Donald Trump budget to increase defence spending by $70 billion, White House says
US President Donald Trump has said he is seeking a “historic increase” in military spending of more than 9 per cent to be funded by cuts elsewhere in government.
Key points:
- Donald Trump says the budget will be about public safety and national security
- President’s budget plan needs to be approved by Congress
- US already spends about $759 billion annually on defence
Mr Trump will seek to boost Pentagon spending by $US54 billion ($70 billion) in his first budget proposal and slash the same amount from non-defence spending, including a large reduction in foreign aid, a White House budget official said.
The President does not have the final say on federal spending.
His plan to ramp up military spending is part of a budget proposal to Congress, which, while it is controlled by his fellow Republicans, will not necessarily follow his plans.
Mr Trump told state governors at the White House that his budget plan included a “historic increase in defence spending to rebuild the depleted military of the United States of America”.

‘Doomsday Vault’ gets deposit of 50,000 new seeds as insurance policy for humanity’s survival
The Global Seed Vault, a gene bank built more than 100 metres into a frozen sandstone mountain on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard, was opened in 2008 to hold an insurance policy for humans’ survival — safeguarding against wars or natural disasters wiping out global food crops.
The latest specimens sent to the bank included more than 15,000 reconstituted samples from an international research centre that focuses on improving agriculture in dry zones, and consisted of seed samples for some of the world’s most vital food sources like potato, sorghum, rice, barley, chickpea, lentil and wheat.
The centre was the first to retrieve seeds from the vault in 2015 before returning new ones after multiplying and reconstituting them.
Large Hadron Collider proved ghosts DON’T exist?
While an estimated three quarters of the US and UK populations believe in ghosts, Brian Cox, the popular TV professor, believes he has proof that don’t exist.
Professor Cox has pointed to The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) – the world’s most powerful particle accelerator – to explain why spectres and phantoms are the stuff of fiction.
Speaking on his BBC Radio Four programme The Infinite Monkey Cage, he said experiments carried out the LHC in Geneva, Switzerland, proved that the existence of the paranormal is ‘inconceivable’.
