Trump looked directly at it, stands to reason his fans did too 🤷

Two stupid people. One slightly less stupid than the other.
Doing relative stupidity comparisons with Trump is kinda like doing math with infinity. Anything divided by infinity is basically zero. Any moron standing next to Trump is the smartest person in the room and a relative genius.
Case in point, this photo was one of the THREE times that he looked directly into the eclipse AFTER taking off his glasses. The second time he does it he points directly at the sun because he wanted everyone to know what he was looking at? i don’t know, he’s too stupid to analyze, but its literally the origin of the photo in this sticker.

I knew it, internet searches cause eclipses.
Texas had heavy cloud cover, which is why it doesn’t look as dumb as it is.
Look I gotta admit this. I was using 80x sea binoculars to focus in on the eclipse with my eclipse glasses in behind the binoculars on my face. Fried a hole through the eclipse glasses and into my retina not horrible but similar to a plastic sand-which back looking through for a few hours. Got my eyes checked by a dr. Said it was minor ish. Got lucky. It was during totality. Hate Magats. But damn I was dumb.
Why would we care about April 3rd thru the 7th?
A) google does this analysis by week-long blocks, so all the searches from 8th will be i this block.
B) I have legit seen people stare at the sun BEFORE an eclipse as if to get some baseline for what the sun looks like? Just talking about the sun makes people do this.
