    Trump had so many hilarious stupid ass moments like this. Not even the best comedy writers in Hollywood could've come up with this.

    My favorite will always be this one . When i first seen this photo, I thought it was photoshopped and it took me a few minutes to realize no, it's real and then I laughed about it for days and sent it to all my friends. But wait, it gets even better! He did it again the very next year!

    This one was pretty funny too with the trucks I LOVE TRUCKS!!! Second picture cause it was just so damn funny.

      A significant portion of me will miss Trump solely because of the sheer ridiculousness of him being president. I know that I can still make jokes about Biden, but no presidency will ever have the same comedic potential as Trump’s.

        All of these made funnier still because guys with punisher skull decals on their vehicles have convinced themselves that this dude is the avatar of masculinity who will save western civilization.

      I think when he went to a summit and just said "Where's my favorite dictator?" in reference to Al Sisi was up there. Or when he called a kid and said "are you still a believer in Santa? Because at 7 it is marginal, right?". Or when he fucked up and left his supporters out in the cold because the buses that were meant to transport them back failed to show up during his rallies. Or, like, every tweet he ever wrote.

        Oh yeah, his tweets were always hilarious. Libs focused on the stupid shit like Covfefe and were too busy getting angry at every single one of them.

      "am i going to go out like stan chera?" is a contender for trump quote of the year. really the whole trump covid saga was the brightest spot since covid began. i remember when he got sent to the hospital and someone on here was like "is that a good thing?" and someone else responded "that depends. are you donald trump or not?"

      edit: it was @nematoad thanks for the laugh back then https://hexbear.net/post/33423/comment/259019

      My favorite Trump moments are when he talks about having to flush his dumps 15-20 times because of environmental regulations in toilets.

        All of the weird LBJ shit was surpassed by Trump in an average week IMO. The man just had too many weird hangups he'd babble on about.

      There are a few photos that are really representative of the US for me, but this one, also from Trump, may be the top one. Closely followed by either this one or this one.

    Its funny but tbh so did I lol. You can look at the sun a little its fine. Shouldn't stare at it but theres loads of stuff science dorks tell you never to do or eat but you can a little no problem

    If looking at the sun for 5 seconds blinded you there'd be loads more blind people

      It won't instantly blind you (it takes some time to get them permanently damaged and they're gonna hurt so much before that happens that you won't be able to look at it for long enough probably) but it does damage which can manifest in many different ways later (for instance cataracts or various other conditions).

      Also, staring at eclipses is in practice even more dangerous, for various reasons (which mostly have to do with the fact that your brain is tricked by the lower brightness and doesn't properly adjust for the fact that it is still super dangerous). For instance, right around the totality phase, your eyes will adjust to the lower brightness so the pupils may get dilated, but if the moon moves a little bit, the sun will be revealed again, which may be sudden enough to damage your eyes. Think of how suddenly turning on the light after being asleep or in the dark hurts your eyes a bit, except now instead of a lamp it's the sun. So yeah, it's definitely a bad idea to look at eclipses with naked eyes, you're running a risk for absolutely no reason. Same as staring at the sun, you don't have to so why risk damage?

      Of course the danger of staring at the sun is sometimes overstated because we don't want children doing it but, again, one can just... Not look at it and not run any risk.

          It's complicated, you can either never eat raw egg or exclusively eat raw egg. This is because bacteria in your gut have to be bred to handle the raw yolk and any other materials entering that ecosystem will throw them off. When other foods are introduced to this environment, this is what causes the salmonella.

          Idk, raw eggs should be fine probably but I guess it depends on how much you trust how well they kept salmonella away from them and their treatment process. But raw eggs are gross so I guess no, you shouldn't, because you'd be gross too if you did that.

      Also I should mention that this is not just hypothetical, it's something that does happen to people, and especially after eclipses: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photic_retinopathy https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9805443/#:~:text=Abstract,after%20viewing%20a%20solar%20eclipse.&text=Results%3A%20Twenty-six%20eyes%20of,lesions%20consistent%20with%20solar%20retinopathy.

      Not especially common, but again, why risk it?

    Hamberders, staring at the sun on live TV, saying to shine light on our organs for covid, an absolute unit of a moron.

    He has set the bar really high for actual numbskulls being president. Lots of you libs are probably too young to remember George W. Bush in full focus. He was fucking hilarious but Trump is levels higher.

    I looked at it with my bare eyes... during totality, being very careful to put my glasses back on before it got close to ending
