title:  Twitter Has Absolute Field Day Laughing At Trump For Blinding Himself During Eclipse
text: Scientists have been warning the world for weeks not to stare directly at the sun without protective eyewear during Monday s solar eclipse unless you want to suffer damage to your eyes. True to form, Donald Trump apparently decided those warnings were either fake news or a Chinese hoax and did precisesly what he was told not to do.
