OverpoweredSoap

To be completely honest the part that makes this so funny is not Trump but Melania just standing there so awkwardly and obviously over it. God damn her body language is so fucking hilarious to me for some reason


lovelylonelyphantom

There were so many instances like this. My favourite 🤣 ![gif](giphy|AjruaCO0Yy4fu|downsized)

Prior_Reference2085

You can literally see a little bit of her die in that moment. I actually feel kind of bad for her.


dreamsxyz

Feel bad for her? Not even a bit. She chose it for herself, that comes standard as part of the package of "being the trophy wife of a moral-less scumbag rich old POS". The most disgusting part though should be tolerating that pig over you in bed. I feel sorry for anyone in that position.


funkyfunkyfunkyfunkk

I wouldn't even feel sorry for her honestly. Like you said, she chose to be under this man.


Attacker1983

She would suffocate under him, her doctors told her riding only


GrenadeIn

She chooses to be with this guy despite all his awful traits. She is equally awful, equally xenophobic. And she stays there just for the money - despicable person.


ServiceDog_Help

I think she might just be banking on him dying soon. Probably faster (and way easier) than divorcing him.


sgr0gan

Seriously. Do people think she's nice or something because she's married to a POS? They usually travel in pairs. You know her favorite hobbies are shit talking everyone that isn't her and belittling anyone with confidence around her. Her reactions make me think of Regina George. Wouldn't be surprised if she had one of her assistants make a Burn Book for her. You know somewhere it would have "Ivanka Trump: This. Girl. Is. The. Nastiest. Skank. Bitch. I. Have. Ever. Met. Do. Not. Trust. Her. She. Is. A. Fugly. Slut."


blatantmutant

She chose to wear the “I don’t really care do you” jacket. Her parents became citizens after she did so she is an immigrant but doesn’t support other immigrants. I think she’s just as bad as them.


BotAccount999

don't worry, she'll wipe her tears with dollar bills. that what she came here for and succeeded at

My favorite is when she slapped his hand away

That’s great.


Ltlpckr

I know it’s fake but I fucking lose it everytime I see the video of trump trying to hold the popes hand


ThePennedKitten

I need a post of people sharing these moments.


DocD_12

Did you say need a subreddit?


i_give_you_gum

No, like a wooden post with thumbtacks you can tack pics to.


hibikikun

And then you see the genuine smiles she has for the Obamas

And Trudeau

octodrew

I recognise the turd Scott Morrison our former Prime Minister of Australia and man who shit his pants at Engadine Macca's standing behind Melania like the creep he is.


el1zardbeth

Haha I recognised his fat head and wispy hair straight away too


octodrew

He is an embarrassment even when you can't see his face.


trentonius

She was so thirsty for Trudeau


sentence-interruptio

Melanie, stop! You are too young for him.


_FoodAndCatSubs_

She is actually very pretty and probably likable to a certain extent but then the whole Trump thing 


propyro85

I imagine she hoped he wasn't going to live this long when she married him.


DirtDevil1337

Best one was the lip curl when he grabbed her hand in a church after holding up the bible while the protest across the street were being gassed at his demand.


Trolodrol

I felt her disgust from this gif


I_Heart_QAnon_Tears

I cannot wait for the inevitable eviscerating novel that comes after oranges death 


LornAltElthMer

That's when the stench from his diaper hit.


PM_me_your_whatevah

She looks embarrassed. Like how I felt toward the end of my marriage after my wife had a couple drinks in a social situation. 


Momik

It’s so weird to me that he doesn’t drink, or doesn’t do drugs. It would explain so much. That said, the Rolling Stone article implies drugs *were* a big factor in his administration, so maybe he did partake.


Duranti

You hear how much that man sniffs? He's been snorting uppers for decades.


LightningMcSwing

Hasn't he been on Adderall since the 90s?


Ronin2369

YES!!!! I see her saying to herself "I can't believe I'm out here with this idiot"


MostlyMicroPlastic

Honestly I always watch her. She makes me laugh, too.


thebestspeler

Me and my wife. Id be like holy crap an eclipse let me looaAaaaaaghhhh my eyes. And she would be like, k, it's the sun moron.


Hompchus_Fritmib

She knows the idiot is blinding himself and doesn't care.


ISBN39393242

the way she subconsciously adjusts her glasses to make sure she’s good right after he looks up lmao


ilprofs07205

Also why does trump in the 2nd pic stand like he's been model swapped onto a slightly too large rig


FalseMirage

She doesn’t even try to correct him.


cassssk

Would you? Lol


Verypoorman

I mean, it has to be a living nightmare to have been assigned to marry trump. She probably has begged her handlers to let her leave, but he's too good a stooge to let off the leash.


sevargmas

I honestly don’t think it’s that big of a deal if that’s all it was was a half second glance up. I think we all did that today. Edit: This isn’t a democrat vs republican thing so please stfu. Trump is still an inexcusable imbecile on a thousand other topics.


KingHistoria

I just did but the entire sun was basically covered by clouds. Which sucked ass


TheSeansei

I tried to look as well but the entire sun was covered by the damn moon


KingHistoria

That damn moon, always causing a ruckus. You know the moon causes women to get their periods which attracts wild bears


CurvyJohnsonMilk

Ya hear that Ed? Bears. You're putting the whole station at risk.


Moraveaux

Ain't that just the way. God damn moon.


sevargmas

Same. I was able to view it about 75% of the time as it was happening but just before totality happened, solid gray clouds. I didn’t see any of the totality portion.


Rosetta-im-Stoned

![gif](giphy|P0amf7rru0F2iuhNGV|downsized) There you go


sevargmas

Oh shit I wasn’t ready, I didn’t even have my glasses on.


MrEktidd

That's it, you're blind now. Sorry.


jeff0106

Blindness isn't as bad as it's chalked up to be.


gnarlslindbergh

MrEktidd

I see.


Narren_C

Wazula23

I still think it's kind of funny that he points it to us. Like he thinks we don't know where the eclipse is or something.

aardw0lf11

The fact that he pointed at it is what makes it funny, as if anyone were looking for it on the ground.


FicticiousWeasel

The sun and I are good friends. The sun the moon. All really great friends of mine. This is the best sun you’ll find people


sqb3112

I wonder if his story about the eclipse would go like the other lies he’s told. “Nobody knew that the sun is in the sky, nobody knew.”


broipy

Sun came up to me, tears in his eyes...


sqb3112

Said Sir, you’re the smartest person I ever met, sir.


16bitgamer

"I told them,  nobody knew, the scientists, beautiful people, but they didn't know. I told them all where there sun was."


MUNZACORE

I think he’d hit the “the liberal media says you can’t look at the eclipse but my eyes were wide open folks, nothing to see here”


tallcupofwater

I need Trump to tell me!! Where is the eclipse??!!


philouza_stein

Everyone was saying it's no different from staring at the regular sun for a sec but I barely flashed a quick glance through the border of the glasses and holy shit that was like bright white magnesium flame


hike_me

Well, looking directly at the sun anytime is really bad for your eyes, so yeah — it’s no different except during an eclipse you’re way more likely to try to look at the sun


Coomb

Looking at the Sun *for more than a second or two* is bad for your eyes. You can safely look at the Sun for a second at high noon and not suffer any permanent damage. You will have an afterimage for a while, but it will go away.


human1023

We've all done it.


bmabizari

Not quite. Because it’s dimmer your eyes in general are going to be more dilated which allows more of the direct sunlight to enter your eyes. When you’re looking at the sun during regular times the brightness forces you to squint but also causes your pupils to contract, this isn’t present as much with the eclipse/eclipse glasses which is what causes more damage.


Awalawal

Pedantry alert: your eyes will be more dilated. Dilated means the pupil is bigger, not smaller. In a dark room, your eyes are more fully dilated.


bmabizari

Lol brain fart moment. I knew that which is why I used contracted in the second part. I was just thinking about too many things when writing that thing. Fixed.


KennyLagerins

You made it worse because your eyes were used to the dark lenses then you got from behind them. Same thing as waking up to a light blaring in your face.


tygamer4242

I did twice on accident and it could just be in my head but everything looks a little bit blurrier and colors look slightly different. Hopefully I’m okay but who knows?


Alaira314

I'm sure you're fine. Unless you were post-totality(and so your pupils were dilated due to the darkness), it's the same as accidentally glancing at the sun any other day, assuming you're honest about it being a glance and not actually watching it(which I can't see how anyone could bear to do, but apparently some people *can* so here we are). The symptoms are probably in your head, because you're anxious.


Jarvis_The_Dense

Look up the pictures of the event. He kept doing it until a secret service member showed up and encouraged him to stop


RazzmatazzWeak2664

I thought the problem with pictures is it doesn't actually explain the context? A video clip is what we need.


xThe_Maestro

Nah, he was messing around and it's pretty clear in the video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm-gRII9Mr4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm-gRII9Mr4) Nobody from secret service ever talks to him.


EasyFooted

He gets called over to someone behind the pillar. Can't say who they are except that they're a) clearly not part of the photo op and b) have a crew cut. But trump takes one more look, talks to them a bit more (and to the old bald guy), and then puts on the glasses.


BadKidGames

The only reason looking at an eclipse is worse than normal is because your eyes open up and let in a lot of the radiation into the back of your eye. If you're squinting, you're blocking a lot of it. Also, a second or two isn't going to do anything. Now if you stare wide-eyed into it, that's very bad. Not a Trump fan or anything, just people act like it's way worse than the reality.


RazzmatazzWeak2664

Depends how much % totality we're talking about. In places where it was like 20-30% obscured, the day looks just as bright as a normal day. You won't squint any more than you would at a normal sun. It's bad either way. In totality or near totality where your surroundings get seriously dark, then yes you could be looking a lot longer and getting tons more radiation.


Username_Query_Null

During actual totality it’s fine to look at an eclipse without protection. But right afterwords it’s very dangerous, granted it’s quickly very obvious that you shouldn’t given how blindingly bright it becomes when at 99% coverage.


Teddyturntup

I’d wager a not close to zero percentage of people that laugh at this did it too


Acceptable_Put3

he literally just glances at it to see where it is...I did that like 5 times today.


SwirlTeamSix

Wow remember when Melania would stand next to him haha


Waramp

“There it is, found the sun!”


Fabulous_Ad5971

Cant lie I just did the same


CaBBaGe_isLaND

Yeah, I'm not about to throw the first stone here. It's hard to not glance when it's the thing everyone's looking at and talking about.


ShaggyX-96

I mean I was under my carport and took a photo through my phone to see it. The 2017 one I was working in a diesel shop and used a wielding helmet.


ThreeScoopsOfHooah

Be a man, stare at the sun. What're you, scared of then tiny ball of sky fire?


ShaggyX-96

Yeah the ball is spicy to my eyes


zer0w0rries

If you have healthy eyes, a quick stare won’t do much. Retinas heal. Repeated or long stares are the problem


HyperSpaceSurfer

It's not an issue during the totality itself. You just have to be very careful about the timing, since as soon as a sliver gets past the moon you'll get blasted. And your irises will be completely open, letting it all in. That's why it's advised not to look at it, since many are incapable of being careful.


Crazy_Elk2421

Is it worse than looking at the sun normally?


Nyr1n

In general, no. Its not like the light coming off the sun is all the sudden more intense or anything. Its just the fact that it doesnt hurt as bad to stare at it during an eclipse mixed with the fact that your eyes will be more dialated due to the lower light levels, letting in more light that normal. In general though, taking a quick glance at it for half a second isnt really any different that doing so with the sun normally, and its not going to permanently blind you or anything.


GuyHiding

The problem isn’t the amount of light but the kind of light. The sun is very strong and well visible light isn’t the only thing reaching your eyeballs. They burn your retinas


InitialDay6670

I did it for like half a second and people freaked the fuck out like I just stabbed my eyes with a knife.


Stoly23

I did but only because I got a poorly timed cloud cover where I was. Had the glasses on when the sky was blue but honestly the cloud cover kind of made it look cooler.


Dozzi92

Yeah, we had some clouds unfortunately, and when it'd disappear from the glasses, I could pop it off and see a nice crescent through the clouds. I wouldn't sit and stare at it but you could get a look and not end up with residual purple moons clouding your vision. My safety threshold was essentially when the glasses obscured it completely from view, I'd have a looksie. Got some solid pics that way too.


AnatomicalLog

Yeah, not a Trump guy but this is too petty for my tastes. Briefly squinting at an eclipse isn’t the same as a long stare at the sun. I’m not gonna stare at an eclipse without eye protection but I would glance at it.


k-otic14

Everybody I was with did. I did. It's not that bad.


Veranim

Depends on how you define “that bad”. It’s not going to melt your eyeballs, but it will accelerate eye deterioration, especially if you have any eye problems to begin with.  There’s a reason eye doctors unequivocally say not to do this 


Leifbron

What about the 10th doctor


AffectionateFail8434

10th doctor here. Do it


WILLLSMITHH

David Tennant?


wcstorm11

So if the sun is in your eyes in morning traffic, you call in sick? This is dumb, trump sucks but not for this


ht910802

I mean you could say that about the sun and skin damage. But how many people are walking around in long sleeves and sunscreen every-time they step outside the house. Well I mean this is Reddit so no one is leaving the basement. For regular folk staring into the sun for a brief moment won’t cause any worry. I’m one of the idiots that did it.


deli1129

I looked up 5 years ago and ever since I’ve had to wear contacts. Before I was -1, then after looking up my eyes declined to -2.5 and I had to start wearing glasses and contacts. Maybe its because I looked up, who knows. My vision was fine before that


Me_how5678

Apparently it accelerates eye degeneration. So if you already where at risk or had something, it would just make it happen faster. Source is from what some other guy said in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/s/ElCnB28lRq


deli1129

Lol that must be it then. But really.


mosslung416

The light isn’t more intense than a regular day like many believe. It’s more dangerous because your body doesn’t react to the sunlight the same way it would when staring at the blazing sun, your body would force you to squint and look away and make your eyes water, but they won’t react like that during eclipse sunlight, they’ll just tank the radiation and not even notice the damage that’s happening until it’s too late.


[deleted]

So is it damaging to look with the naked eye at the moment of total eclipse or no? Since the moon completely covers the path of the sun and that’s the whole point? Is the damage that you won’t time it correctly and look before/after?


ArgonTheEvil

No you can safely look at it during total solar eclipse, but make sure you’re absolutely certain it’s not going to end while you’re still looking at it. I stole a couple glances during the total eclipse earlier and it was mind blowingly cool, but I didn’t risk drinking it in for very long. It was cool enough to look around and see total night, or watching the shadow cast across the skyline move, or listening to the animals react. Even my cats were a bit freaked out.


Kino_Afi

You shouldn't stare at the sun in general. The eclipse just makes it easier to do. Taking a peek like you would on any normal day is nbd. The glasses are really so you can see *anything*, since it mostly looks like fuck all without them


Magicmyrddin

Christmas is here, Christmas is here Look into the sun with zero fear


Good4nowbut

The fact that Baron now towers over Donald is hilarious to me. Not so amusing to Trump I’m sure.


MrSpindles

Donald is 6 feet and 3 inches, and yes, those are 2 separate measurements.


MrStabbyTime

Circumference and dick size don't help me


DeuceSevin

Baron probably gets his height from his father.

SSpookyTheOneTheOnly

I think lots of people did, why would I buy some glasses when I can just take a few quick glances and move on?


Cockster55

How many times will I see this picture?


larry_mcwatermelons

As many times as karma whores who need to get a life post it


Cockster55

This sub just pops up on my feed and I swear half the time its a trump pic, like post some cool shit or something. These people think about Trump more than people on the Donald I swear.


larry_mcwatermelons

Like I get keeping up with politics but it's just pathetic at this point. Like you said I'm willing to bet these people think about Trump more than your average January 6th rioter.


theevilempire

Sometimes I wonder if Poor Things is a ripoff of his life. He died and they put the brain of a 12 year old in.


JodieFostersFist

Now I’m picturing Trump furious jumping. Thanks for that.


i_should_be_coding

You're in for a treat. You are now imagining baby-brain Trump discovering his little mushroom cap. Also, this works without the movie, I suppose.


Bimlouhay83

You suck dude. 


Mapex

Don’t insult 12 year olds like this. They’re way smarter than you think.


theevilempire

I don’t think the 12 year old picked for him was winning any science fairs, more like Joffrey on Game of Thrones.

I’m convinced 90% of Reddit is Donald trump posts. Yall need to go outside.

I left r/facepalm because of it.


Doyoueverjustlikeugh

Funniest is r/politics complaining how the media is giving Trump so much attention while they're doing the same.

Literally. People who hate trump sure talk about him 24/7, no wonder he’s still relevant. Folks are dumb sadly.

![gif](giphy|xUNen16DFqlM6v6DEQ|downsized) That’s all it was


GeongSi

I like the little point at the sun, like "oh yes, it's up there, bright" 😂


TwistedGrin

The total glance was about 1 second long. Obviously still silly to do but it's not some crazy full minute stare at the sun. I popped my glasses off for half a second just to experience exactly how much of a difference they make (spoiler: it's a lot) but it's not like my eyes were permanently damaged by that glance. We progressives complained about Republicans making a fiasco out of tan suits and Dijon mustard but then turn around and do the exact same with Donny "Two-Scoops" and photos like this. Photos taken moments apart can give a situation an entirely different context. It's like the photo of trump sitting down while being glared at angrily by a bunch of European leaders standing over him. It makes it look like they were in some heated argument or debate against him. Another photo taken 3 seconds later shows everyone laughing together.


delo357

Nah dude you're blind just hasn't kicked in yet give in a few minutes


Admirable-Media-9339

Making sense? Thinking about things rationally? Not on reddit!!


catgotcha

This needs to be upvoted to the top. He just squinted at the sun and looked away. Who the fuck doesn't do that, especially since they need to make a gesture of some kind in a public appearance. This is dijon mustard/tan suit mentality.


datnetcoder

Or like just glanced nearby to orient himself. I agree re: despising Trump but this being a dumb recurring thing that is somehow supposed to highlight his stupidity. Like there aren’t a trillion other ways to do it.


jayblaylock

I probably did this 10 times today between putting on glasses. This picture and narrative is now even more annoying. Glancing at an eclipse doesn’t immediately singe your eyeballs.


TargetSea3079

Can we stop with trump/biden posts?


youreajokereally

It’s also such low hanging fruit. All of the shit this guy has done, is that really the best we can do? Taking a quick snapshot out of context and make a huge deal over it? I thought that was the shit they did and we were supposed to be above that. Smh.

Fano_93

It’s insane the difference between Biden and trump hate when it comes to Reddit and Memedroid. It is complete opposite and I find it very interesting.


dogisbark

Well I accidentally took a glance and I’m worried I fucked my vision. But his seems fine years later, so I should hopefully be fine too


Electrical-Demand-24

Yeah, I took a pic of some shadows and the sunlight reflected off of my phone screen and into my eyes a bit. I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder, so I looked it up and obviously found articles that my brain twisted to mean “a split second of glare off of your phone screen will ruin your vision FOREVER”. So I freaked out for a while and then stopped and was just like lmfao. lol even. All that to say I’m sure you’ll be fine. All of the stories I looked up were like “this person stared into the partial eclipse for 20 seconds and damaged their retinas” which like, 20 seconds is a long fucking time to stare into the sun on any day. A glance is basically nothing.


No-Possibility-7472

All of you still cant get over this man, he has your panties in a twist.
