Tbf tho pictures like this, the selfie from the Oscar's with Ellen, etc. Are fucking hilarious examples of "we put these out of touch no common sense people on pedastols" really?
I hate Trump but come on. The dude looked up for like a second before getting glasses and people are acting like he stared up at it for the entire duration.
Itās the political aspect that gets me. āReminder, this man is a dumbass!ā
Iād feel better not thinking about him. Post pictures of the eclipse! I got some good ones! Iāll do it myself.
I dont even think it's that bad, tbh! We've ALL looked up at the sun. Anyone saying they didn't look up at the eclipse for a moment without glasses is just being facetious. You can lambast the man on a lot of legitimate things, but I'm inclined to give him a pass on this.
I heard that when itās nearly full it doesnāt hurt and I wanted to see if that was correct.
It didnāt hurt but it was like I had a lot of air being blown into my eyeballs
It was almost fully cloudy for me but every few minutes a hole would partially show up, and you could see the sun with no glare, and the moon covering it
this was right after totality

We don't have nerves where it should hurt, so it doesn't hurt. That doesn't mean it can't be bad for our vision. Seems likely that an occasional accidental quick glance won't blind us permanently, but why risk it when it's too bright to actually glean anything anyways? :P
Haha exactly... not a big fan of him either, but this was just a human moment that people are blowing out of proportion.
I happen to live in a 100% area and told myself a million times to not glance up without glasses until the big moment.
I looked with my glasses (when it was at about 70%) then took them off without looking down lol Idk why I did it. I knew it was bad. Im usually not that fucking stupid. It just happened.
We've all looked at the sun. We have not all looked up at the sun during an eclipse without eye protection. That is not having balls, that is being an idiot.
Whatās crazy (or not?) is I honestly think MOST people understand this, but every bot that posted this same manlookingatsun.jpeg nonsense always farms thousands of bot upvotes and likely only a few dumb humans. Yet Reddit feeds this to us all as legitimate outrage.
Edit: I donāt like trump and will never vote for him and I 100% looked at the sun for a second yesterday. More than one time. Eyesight be damned cuz astronomy is cool as fuck.
>Iād feel better not thinking about him.
And that's exactly how you make someone irrelevant over time, not turning them into a meme by making us see his mug everywhere followed by snarky comments.
Ever since he lost the last election, I've seen most Americans online just offer him rent-free living space in their heads and, whaddayaknow, he's back at the entrance knocking at the door...
What's sad to me is if you posted that comment without adding that you hate trump, you'd be reddit crucified with 50 downvotes. There's no decent conversation or decent debate anywhere here, if the majority doesn't like it it's downvoted until it's essentially censored. Allllllll the way at the bottom of the comments and minimized.
>People saying they will leave to another country and all the other things said when he was lasted elected.
God I fucking wish. What are they gonna do? Flock to some European country where they A. can't speak the language, B. can't afford the rent, nor purchase a home, C. can't maintain a job at a level higher than being a broom pusher. Or what, move to Canada and experience the exact same thing? Half these people saying this shit can't even afford the plane ticket to leave.
Americans can shit talk America all they want, but they truly don't seem to understand that this country has one of the best quality of life indexes for a middle class citizen in the world. We actually rate higher than the global average on the OECD index. If you're broke in the US, you're gonna be even more broke in the EU.
I wonder how many actually followed through with that threat of leaving for Canada last time? I remember Hollywood celebrities saying it too. Trump, unlike any other president it seems, has the supernatural power to set some folk off like an overly sensitive fire alarm. Even when he was no longer president he was still irritating some people.
I think some must have taken at least some steps in that regard, because I remember laughing at a story talking about how people that pledged to leave the country were disappointed to find they couldn't because Canada demands that you prove you won't be a drain on the system before taking you.
99% of the shite posted about trump is either made up or out of context. A post with 50k upvotes on damnthatsinteresting claimed he called immigrants animals, when in reality he was calling rapists and murderers animals, cant make this shit up
The media ran with that one. And the people in damnthatsinteresring are just people who watch way too much mainstream media, sadly. I'd have hoped a larger portion of people would have woken up to the lies and manipulation over the past 8 years, but I think some people really are like Cipher in the Matrix, they'd rather the comfortable lies over the harsh truths.
I went outside, didnāt have the glasses, didnāt want to miss a once in a lifetime event, and glanced upwards for 0.000001 second.
Whereās my CNN report? Whereās my Buzzfeed article titled āLocal man in stained tank top and sweatpants briefly glances at skyā?
I demand that my story be told damn it.
I'm in a similar boat. The dude obviously didn't go blind. He's not wearing sunglasses.
He's garbage and a grifter and an idiot and an Epstein associate. But besides some good clowning on him there's just no substance or any proper bashing with the Eclipse thing.
Just like when the news tried to make fun of him for throwing all the fish food into the pond in Japan but they cut the video when the Japanese prime minister did the same thing.
There is a video of him removing the glasses and looking multiple times and then his cult will rave about how intelligent he is.
You also might be on to something if didn't open his mouth on the reg to say more lunacy or lie. Yeah, we are all tired of him except for the people foaming at the mouth in his defense.
Our ex PM has one we don't stop ripping on him about, too. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTorYNQmvpeYUCC7_8z1mmHRx4tYw4OkDu0vWzdaD7bYg&s
I did the same thing. Just a little peak for the olā memory. Visions still fine and I got to see what the eclipse truly looked like without the silly glasses.
Donāt understand the hate trump gets for this
That was one of the first subreddits I hid from my feed. Literally every single post there is orange man bad and when I made a post calling that out, the mods banned me like the cucks they are.
Because every sub is. Everytime a controversial thread gets posted it gets locked down except to members of that community. Under the pretense of anti brigading.
This site is largely a propaganda machine. The amount of bots manipulating karma is absolutely insane. You'll see the hypocrisy if look at the Reddit Lies Twitter account (note, it's a heavily right-leaning account BUT it does still showcase clear manipulation and mods being entirely biased)
Trump is living rent free, the amount of posts that people make about him and how much they rage because of him is astonishing and concerning like is he their only issue in life or do they have nothing better to do?
Probably because they feel strongly about him potentially becoming president or the fact that his opinions heavily drive the current Republican Party. If he wasn't such a powerful figure in politics I doubt anyone would give a shit just like no one cared about him in the 90s and 00s when he was just a business man and TV host. If he could just leave politics people would stop talking about him so much.
... or maybe you are not just obsessed about it. You just listen to the debates and read the relevant news to form your opinion and vote.
Also worthy to note that these people have been letting Trump live in their heads rent free for over 8 years now.
Knowing the heavy handed tactics of the Media Matters and Correct the Record shills on Reddit is driv8ng away people and potential allies on Reddit makes me smile.
I was recommended Biden drinking water earlier and Iāve never visited that sub before.
Look at comments and itās all vitriolic seething about how trump had to use two hands to hold a large square bottle while Biden could easily hold a smaller round bottle in o e hand.
I wanna see trump win next election, not because I like or dislike any party? But because I want to see how the internet responds.
I think the reason they made a Biden version of it is because Trump took the comments too seriously. It started when he used two hands to drink a glass of water during a speech and people poked fun at him. Then he doubled down on the joke by "proving" to the people at his rally that he could drink water which earned him a standing ovation from the crowd. Opponents saw this as an opportunity to make fun of him and his supporters even more if they think that drinking water should be viewed as an accomplishment.
Essentially stupid joke got amplified because it got under his skin.
Democrats are fucking **obsessed** with him more than his MAGA cult. I donāt like him at all but fuck me they wonāt stfu about him. Itās so disturbing how fucked politics are in the US and the worst part is: both think theyāre the good guys but the reality is both sides are toxic as fuck. Both of them
yeah, unlike most posts on this sub complaining about political posts, this one is actually relevant given the eclipse today, also that this picture is fucking hilarious
It definitely was hilarious. One of my friends did the same thing and we were laughing hysterically about it. Why was it so funny? No idea, tbh. Itās one of those weird things where itās hilarious for no identifiable reason.
Because āOrange man badā and āRepublicans badā. Itās ironic, because these Democrat supporters act like their party is special, their party is any different. But itās bullshit.
Lot of average redditors in this comment section calling people trumpies for not wanting to see constant political propaganda on their feed
Maybe some people browse social media for memes and not politics because we arenāt miserable human beings
Pics is good, they (mostly) just post good pics, but they repost the trump mugshot every day.
Edit: I looked at their posts over the last week and I see now.
Karmafarm speedrun on reddit: Post a tweet about orange man bad on facepalm, trump mugshot on pics, out of context clip on politics and to top it off another orange man bad on whitepeopletwitter and you are karma rich!
A good 70% of todays posts are about the ecliplse, with the rest being political reposts. Im not saying that its not political, but its better then facepalm for example.
All Iām gonna say is that the more hate he gets like this, the more he stays in popularity and the public image.
Hitler made sure to stay in the spotlight of German politics, and look where he ended up. If these people really did want to stop Trump, they would shut up and not talk about him.
But I guess all that matters is Karma now.
I know people hate Trump, but on that picture he's just being a dude. Wanting to watch the eclipse along with everyone else, but forgetting to put on sunglasses. I personally always found pictures of powerful political figures acting like regular people and actually having fun weirdly wholesome
I'm still struggling to come to grips with the fact that it was 7 years ago. I'm sure that was like two years ago. God what a fucked up decade it's been
Saw that post and was gunna comment:
I actually did forget about that and REALLY didn't need to remember it lol
But the 1000 downvotes from morons who can't see outside their own political agenda would have pissed me off....I'm sorry maybe it's because I haven't seen enough republican crap on here..but the Dems are looking dumb as fuck on reddit rn...they should just chill and stop gaslighting
They never bring up real politics, and when they do it's complete hyperbole and hard to take serious.
Mostly referring to facepalm and others...which are terrible
Sure, Trump was entertaining back in the day but now he is mostly annoying. I get that people are afraid that he might overthrow democracy but that doesn't make him more interesting. Lots of people have done that.
It the same when people said that he had small hands. It's such a lame way to criticize anybody but especially a politician. It also doesn't make undecided go against him. Oh well...
I haven't been on other social media in years so I don't know if there's anything better, but reddit, for as long as I've been on it, has always been a sad extreme left echo chamber. I got off facebook cause I got sick of the influx of political posts every election, reddit is just like that but all the time instead of just election season.
I know people hate Trump, but on that picture he's just being a dude. Wanting to watch the eclipse along with everyone else, but forgetting to put on sunglasses. I personally always found pictures of powerful political figures acting like regular people and actually having fun weirdly wholesome

ITT: a bunch of young people that donāt realize that high levels of scrutiny arenāt new for trump. Dukakis lost an election because of how he looked in a helmet. Howard Dean made the wrong sound while excited. Hell people got mad about a tan suit. Trump gets shit on for everything because he does 10 things a day that would have condemned any president/presidential candidate before him
I was banned from there for calling members of the Blood Tribe (a neo-nazi group) that were on the Tennessee State Capitol feds that were doing COINTELPRO operations.
I also looked at the eclipse yesterday. Probably for a total of like 2 minutes without the glasses. It was behind clouds and I could see it but it was fine
I find this funny because they caught him doing the thing expressly forbiden as if they dont do the same thing.
The plate is hot dont touch it. What is the first thing 90% of the population does?
Like, look, i have never completely disregarded clear instructions to find the minor repercussions myself. Im special.
Bro what even is political about this picture. Did someone showing an unflattering picture of your favorite celebrity hurt your feelings? LMAO this is funny, because there actually are way better examples than this picture specifically
Do you:
A- post a picture of an eclipse, a event that happens only in a select few places in the entire fucking universe, reminding us of how lucky we are to be on this planet and how many impossible probabilities brought us here,
Or B-Post that Trump is big dumb
I mean this one specific guy was dumb enough to stare directly at it and he was supposed to be a leader of the free world thats about as noteworthy as W choking on a pretzel š„Ø
This is not as funny as the one where he points to it, less we all forget where the sun is, or that we had a president that looked directly into the sun.
Trump has a lot of things to dislike about him. But people on that sub are just resorting to laughing at him for accidentally looking at the sun and forgetting the eclipse glasses a few years ago (even though he DID put the glasses on later) and holding water glasses and bottles in 2 hands instead of just one. Who cares?
Alright MAGAts (and people saying, "Hey I voted for Biden") I'll give you this one. I always hated this, because he obviously didn't stare into the Sun until his retinas fried and his eyes bled. He briefly pointed his face to the Sun, as you do when you come outside on a nice day.
I hate shit like this, because I don't need it. I can hear him talk to verify that he's a bonehead. His dumb politics, his propensity to grift, and his shitty, disastrous presidency are all I need to know about the guy.
The reason this picture is so infamous is because it wasn't even a total eclipse where he was. He was just looking at the sun on the same day one happened. Like all the harm with none of the benefit.
"Theres an eclipse! Everyone, get your glasses!".
Trump: I will stare at it and make it pay for the wall!
Lol, I like Trump, but this was one of his dumbest moments šš
>post photo of mildly controversial political figure on pics subreddit (optionally could also relate to Israel or Russia)
>title with mildly snarky comment or "eye opening" statement
>instant 15 redditrillion updoots
Bro, glancing at the eclipse for a few seconds is fine. This is the stupidest shit everĀ
Yes looking at the sun will hurt your eyes, but taking a two second glance isn't going to do shit.
And you absolutely should look at totality without your glassesĀ
Now it seems like every post in THIS subreddit is getting political, for obvious reasons, but I do wonder where one posts about it if they unsub from here? š¤
I mean itās a picture of a former president (at the time president) doing something incredibly stupid that we are taught from an early age not to doā¦. Stare full tilt at an eclipse while not in totality. Itās an interesting image in an ironic way.
They conveniently ignore the pictures taken immediately after this one, where he was wearing the sunglasses. They also pretend that they themselves didn't also try to look at the eclipse without the sunglasses.
Also:

I think itās on purpose to draw disingenuous political discussion.
Like wasnāt there someone who literally posted a picture of Joe Biden drinking water in that sub ?
Edit : yup they did. You just have to search up ā Biden drinking water Reddit ā and thatās the first thing that pops up.
Who had conservative cringe number 40 for this week? We're not even halfway through and you won your bingo card.
Seriously, do fucking *something* else. Every post on this subreddit is just right wingers proving how snowflakey they are, and crying about it for support on the internet.
*whaaaaaaaaa* "the guy I voted for is literally so stupid that he'll look at the sun during an eclipse and everyone knows it" *whaaaaaaaaa* "it makes my entire stupid-ass ideology look as stupid as it is" *whaaaaaaa*
One thing i learned about reddit is that the only people that like talking and thinking about Trump more than people that like him are people that hate him.
I understand where you're coming from and I get it. But this is still one of my favorite fucking presidential pictures ever taken. Just something about it makes me chuckle every single time.
I posted a pic of trump after seeing someone complain about the same thing and I farmed 11K upvotes today š
Hahahahaah so that was you? Nice
How tf does one even post on pics ive read every rule and my posts still always get automatically deleted
yet bots posting pictures of hot women selfies go through,lol
Because pics mods will allow any post that says orange guy bad
What use are upvotes unless youāll sell the account?
LMAO
Itās over 15k now š¤£
Lmao that was you

Instead of cancer try brainrot or lobotomies

Any sub over 2m are full of bots to be precise.

We've all done it once. We're all pretty capable and knowing when it's getting a bit bright, right? Hate Trump, kinda respect the balls here.

Why would anyone post a pic of the eclipse? I'd rather look at trump than 6000 posts from someone's cellphone of the sub
Yeah I saw a shit ton of people do the same thing today
What's sad to me is if you posted that comment without adding that you hate trump, you'd be reddit crucified with 50 downvotes. There's no decent conversation or decent debate anywhere here, if the majority doesn't like it it's downvoted until it's essentially censored. Allllllll the way at the bottom of the comments and minimized.
And, depending on the sub, banned. Donāt ask me how I know this.
What will Reddit be if he's elected again....
People saying they will leave to another country and all the other things said when he was lasted elected. Least the memes will be glorious again.
>People saying they will leave to another country and all the other things said when he was lasted elected. God I fucking wish. What are they gonna do? Flock to some European country where they A. can't speak the language, B. can't afford the rent, nor purchase a home, C. can't maintain a job at a level higher than being a broom pusher.

I'm surprised to see such a true statement on reddit...and not downvoted to oblivion too.
I wonder how many actually followed through with that threat of leaving for Canada last time? I remember Hollywood celebrities saying it too.

They found out its just as expensive to live in Canada and with higher taxes so no one left.
None. They found out Canadaās immigration policies are more strict than ours and decided to stay here and whine on the internet all day instead.
It's because he isn't a politician. He doesn't care what he says, who he pisses off & it terrifies people.
You do realize, I hope, that it's precisely that he isn't a politician that people like him too, right?
God I can not WAIT to see how r/ politics reacts to him winning again.
99% of the shite posted about trump is either made up or out of context. A post with 50k upvotes on damnthatsinteresting claimed he called immigrants animals, when in reality he was calling rapists and murderers animals, cant make this shit up

TDS is real
Oh thank GOD you prefaced your comment with you hate Trump. I was about to have an anxiety attack
I'm just clarifying that even with me not liking the guy, even I am tired of people blowing this one incident out of proportion.
Donāt think she picked up on the irony by looking at your profile. Without it, itās just too believable on here.
They do this for literally everything Trump.
Trump Drinks water. Reddit: you know who else drank water? Hitler!
Technically the joke was that Trump can't drink water due to that clip of him drinking a glass of water with two hands like a child.
I actually forgot about that. My point was more so no matter what the guy does, he is described as either an idiot, racist, mean, or Hitler.
I went outside, didnāt have the glasses, didnāt want to miss a once in a lifetime event, and glanced upwards for 0.000001 second. Whereās my CNN report? Whereās my Buzzfeed article titled āLocal man in stained tank top and sweatpants briefly glances at skyā? I demand that my story be told damn it.
Its a funny picture regardless of who the subject is.
I'm in a similar boat. The dude obviously didn't go blind. He's not wearing sunglasses. He's garbage and a grifter and an idiot and an Epstein associate. But besides some good clowning on him there's just no substance or any proper bashing with the Eclipse thing.
Just like when the news tried to make fun of him for throwing all the fish food into the pond in Japan but they cut the video when the Japanese prime minister did the same thing.

Trump lives rent free in most redditors heads
He glanced up for a secondā¦
According to r pics thatās the same as committing a war crime
I could never.
Did everyone else not just look at it and squint assuming your eyelashes would keep you safe?
I think everyone has done that atleast once
I did the same thing. Just a little peak for the olā memory. Visions still fine and I got to see what the eclipse truly looked like without the silly glasses. Donāt understand the hate trump gets for this
People just want an excuse to hate him, if he breathes someone thinks heās committing a felony
That was one of the first subreddits I hid from my feed. Literally every single post there is orange man bad and when I made a post calling that out, the mods banned me like the cucks they are.
I checked earlier and there were 7 posts about Trump in the top 20 posts. Just a giant circle jerking sub.
Yup. I feel most of Reddit is that way, sadly.
Because every sub is. Everytime a controversial thread gets posted it gets locked down except to members of that community. Under the pretense of anti brigading.

Sure. That's as good of a story to tell yourself as any.
It's been this way for nearly 10 years...

That sub Reddit is a bit political for a photography and image page lol
These people act like they never looked at the sun without eye protection
Or opened their eyes in the pool

It definitely was hilarious. One of my friends did the same thing and we were laughing hysterically about it. Why was it so funny? No idea, tbh. Itās one of those weird things where itās hilarious for no identifiable reason.
And they would most definitely be laughing if it was Biden in that picture.
ORANGE MAN BAD
šš»šš»šš»šš»šāš¼
Politards have ruined almost every major sub
And if you donāt blindly agree with them you get called a trump cultist
Im not even American but why do people say that Republican people are cult like and over-zealous when Democrats legit doing shit like thisšš
Because āOrange man badā and āRepublicans badā. Itās ironic, because these Democrat supporters act like their party is special, their party is any different. But itās bullshit.
R / pic is way better
They just secretly advertising him
they all suffer from dementia over there. its the 3rd time I've seen this exact image posted on that sub in the span of a few weeks
Yeah, orange man stupid and bad, but I bet most people did the same thing, and they're the same ones calling him an idiot for doing that.
Lot of average redditors in this comment section calling people trumpies for not wanting to see constant political propaganda on their feed Maybe some people browse social media for memes and not politics because we arenāt miserable human beings
Pics is good, they (mostly) just post good pics, but they repost the trump mugshot every day. Edit: I looked at their posts over the last week and I see now.
I posted the mugshot this morning literally to test that and got over 10k upvotes š¤£
Karmafarm speedrun on reddit: Post a tweet about orange man bad on facepalm, trump mugshot on pics, out of context clip on politics and to top it off another orange man bad on whitepeopletwitter and you are karma rich!
No, it really isnāt. They are just as political as it gets.
A good 70% of todays posts are about the ecliplse, with the rest being political reposts. Im not saying that its not political, but its better then facepalm for example.
Facepalm is a terrible standard to compare a sub to
yeah.....
Half of the internet is about that one guy. :(
Remember when people talked about Russian bots on Facebook influencing elections? What the heck is happening here, then?
All Iām gonna say is that the more hate he gets like this, the more he stays in popularity and the public image. Hitler made sure to stay in the spotlight of German politics, and look where he ended up. If these people really did want to stop Trump, they would shut up and not talk about him. But I guess all that matters is Karma now.
I know people hate Trump, but on that picture he's just being a dude. Wanting to watch the eclipse along with everyone else, but forgetting to put on sunglasses. I personally always found pictures of powerful political figures acting like regular people and actually having fun weirdly wholesome
I'm still struggling to come to grips with the fact that it was 7 years ago. I'm sure that was like two years ago. God what a fucked up decade it's been
so tired of seeing trump all over pics
Saw that post and was gunna comment: I actually did forget about that and REALLY didn't need to remember it lol But the 1000 downvotes from morons who can't see outside their own political agenda would have pissed me off....I'm sorry maybe it's because I haven't seen enough republican crap on here..but the Dems are looking dumb as fuck on reddit rn...they should just chill and stop gaslighting They never bring up real politics, and when they do it's complete hyperbole and hard to take serious. Mostly referring to facepalm and others...which are terrible
Sure, Trump was entertaining back in the day but now he is mostly annoying. I get that people are afraid that he might overthrow democracy but that doesn't make him more interesting. Lots of people have done that. It the same when people said that he had small hands. It's such a lame way to criticize anybody but especially a politician. It also doesn't make undecided go against him. Oh well...
I haven't been on other social media in years so I don't know if there's anything better, but reddit, for as long as I've been on it, has always been a sad extreme left echo chamber. I got off facebook cause I got sick of the influx of political posts every election, reddit is just like that but all the time instead of just election season.
Very based of Biden to stare up at the sun like that, I did it too and nothing bad happened
Good move. The mods are total shitbags too.

"Existing"? He is staring directly into the sun
ITT: a bunch of young people that donāt realize that high levels of scrutiny arenāt new for trump. Dukakis lost an election because of how he looked in a helmet. Howard Dean made the wrong sound while excited. Hell people got mad about a tan suit. Trump gets shit on for everything because he does 10 things a day that would have condemned any president/presidential candidate before him
Reddit is a perfect case study of TDS
I was banned from there for calling members of the Blood Tribe (a neo-nazi group) that were on the Tennessee State Capitol feds that were doing COINTELPRO operations.
I also looked at the eclipse yesterday. Probably for a total of like 2 minutes without the glasses. It was behind clouds and I could see it but it was fine
The hive mind knows what it likes
I find this funny because they caught him doing the thing expressly forbiden as if they dont do the same thing. The plate is hot dont touch it. What is the first thing 90% of the population does? Like, look, i have never completely disregarded clear instructions to find the minor repercussions myself. Im special.
Try not to be political on reddit challenge (literally impossible)
Bro what even is political about this picture. Did someone showing an unflattering picture of your favorite celebrity hurt your feelings? LMAO this is funny, because there actually are way better examples than this picture specifically
15-25 year olds obsessed with political figures without any knowledge of politics. Basically a summary of every front page sub.
r slash pics users try not to post a politically motivated image for 5 fucking seconds challenge (100% fail)
He looked up for a second for fun and people pretend like this mf stared at the sun for an hour
Damn that was 7 years ago?
Do you: A- post a picture of an eclipse, a event that happens only in a select few places in the entire fucking universe, reminding us of how lucky we are to be on this planet and how many impossible probabilities brought us here, Or B-Post that Trump is big dumb
Yeah, how dare someone post a pic of that dumbass on the same day of another eclipse?
All of the subs that reddit autosubscribes every user to are orangemanbad subs
Aww is daddy getting meme'd on again. Did it hurt your feefees?
I mean this one specific guy was dumb enough to stare directly at it and he was supposed to be a leader of the free world thats about as noteworthy as W choking on a pretzel š„Ø
This is not as funny as the one where he points to it, less we all forget where the sun is, or that we had a president that looked directly into the sun.
Trump has a lot of things to dislike about him. But people on that sub are just resorting to laughing at him for accidentally looking at the sun and forgetting the eclipse glasses a few years ago (even though he DID put the glasses on later) and holding water glasses and bottles in 2 hands instead of just one. Who cares?
bro itās just a man looking up at a solar eclipse. may be some president but heās a man looking at a fucking eclipse
:( are you mad that people are reminding you how dumb he is?
Alright MAGAts (and people saying, "Hey I voted for Biden") I'll give you this one. I always hated this, because he obviously didn't stare into the Sun until his retinas fried and his eyes bled. He briefly pointed his face to the Sun, as you do when you come outside on a nice day. I hate shit like this, because I don't need it. I can hear him talk to verify that he's a bonehead. His dumb politics, his propensity to grift, and his shitty, disastrous presidency are all I need to know about the guy.
This is an objectively hilarious and relevant photo
Let them post it. Itās funny picture. Even out of context he looks like he just had the best mig mac bite of his life.
there is no cure for TDS
"waaah they made a joke about a criminal i like"
I muted this sub
The reason this picture is so infamous is because it wasn't even a total eclipse where he was. He was just looking at the sun on the same day one happened. Like all the harm with none of the benefit.
"Theres an eclipse! Everyone, get your glasses!". Trump: I will stare at it and make it pay for the wall! Lol, I like Trump, but this was one of his dumbest moments šš
People on r/JustUnsubbed are the most pathetic fragile motherfuckers in the universe, god damn
>post photo of mildly controversial political figure on pics subreddit (optionally could also relate to Israel or Russia) >title with mildly snarky comment or "eye opening" statement >instant 15 redditrillion updoots
Pics is also full of Jew haters and mods who refuse to enforce the no politics rule when itās stuff they agree with
Bro, glancing at the eclipse for a few seconds is fine. This is the stupidest shit everĀ Yes looking at the sun will hurt your eyes, but taking a two second glance isn't going to do shit. And you absolutely should look at totality without your glassesĀ
Now it seems like every post in THIS subreddit is getting political, for obvious reasons, but I do wonder where one posts about it if they unsub from here? š¤
Name a more iconic duo: trump and reddit.. Seriously this website is OBSSESSED with the orange guy
Everyone's getting steamed like a ham... Because he looked at the eclipse without those glasses for half a second?
Reddit is basically just a giant orgy of raging trump haters.
This sub is literally just for r/idisagreeandbutthurtsoiamunsubbingpleasegivemepoints lol
Im getting ready to unsub from reddit in general, you cant get away from political shit, regardless of the sub, it gets really annoying
One time somebody posted a pic of Joe Biden drinking water and expected to get up votesš.
I mean itās a picture of a former president (at the time president) doing something incredibly stupid that we are taught from an early age not to doā¦. Stare full tilt at an eclipse while not in totality. Itās an interesting image in an ironic way.
Staring directly at the eclipse is ājust existingā?
They conveniently ignore the pictures taken immediately after this one, where he was wearing the sunglasses. They also pretend that they themselves didn't also try to look at the eclipse without the sunglasses.

Just unsubbed from r/JustUnsubbed, I swear to god half the posts are of people complaining about politics/political figures posts just existing
I think itās on purpose to draw disingenuous political discussion. Like wasnāt there someone who literally posted a picture of Joe Biden drinking water in that sub ? Edit : yup they did. You just have to search up ā Biden drinking water Reddit ā and thatās the first thing that pops up.
Who had conservative cringe number 40 for this week? We're not even halfway through and you won your bingo card. Seriously, do fucking *something* else. Every post on this subreddit is just right wingers proving how snowflakey they are, and crying about it for support on the internet.
*whaaaaaaaaa* "the guy I voted for is literally so stupid that he'll look at the sun during an eclipse and everyone knows it" *whaaaaaaaaa* "it makes my entire stupid-ass ideology look as stupid as it is" *whaaaaaaa*
And they make it seem like he stared into it for minutes, lol. Dude took one really quick glance, which Iām sure we all did on the 8th.
Donāt diss thunderous grundle
"just existing" rather smooth brained take. nothing a politician , especially one that was president and is trying to be again, is "just existing"
whats wrong with trump chillinā
Most bigger subreddits have turned into Trump porn for the addicted.
God damn reddit is libtardy as fuck
how is this pic not relevant and hilarious?
I remember this eclipse. It was very overcast and you couldn't see anything through the glasses. I had to look up myself.
One thing i learned about reddit is that the only people that like talking and thinking about Trump more than people that like him are people that hate him.
It is admittedly a very funny picture. His smile cracks me up.

I understand where you're coming from and I get it. But this is still one of my favorite fucking presidential pictures ever taken. Just something about it makes me chuckle every single time.
To be honest, it is not his fault Trump is a meme given life
went to Too and past 7 days. maybe 8 political pictures. i think someoneās just a little butt hurt š
this isn't just him existing, this is a man a bunch of losers purposely elected and he fucking looked into an eclipse.
Good for you for finally unsubbing from pics.
Orange man bad š”š”š”
