President Trump looked directly at the solar eclipse from the Truman Balcony of the White House without wearing protective glasses.
From the pool report: “At approximately 2:39, the President initially gesticulated to the crowd below and pointed at the sky. As he did so, one of the White House aides standing beneath the Blue Room Balcony shouted ‘don’t look.'”
