There's a video showing the orange turd twice staring at the eclipse without glasses, he's dumber than a post lol.
You can look at the sun if it's in totality and for only those two minutes. It happened where I live and I must say it's something special to see. No, my life didn't change, but it's worth seeing if you have the chance. What Trump saw was 81% coverage. Dumb. I accidentally flashed my eyes when adjusting my glasses with just a tiny sliver of sun showing and it hurt.

Even at totality some light is curved by the gravitational effect of the moon and it can damage your eyes, its just nothing like gawking at it normally.

You should ALWAYS use protection ;)

Other sources say it's OK. Level of light is about that from the moon. I just looked at it briefly.

Looking directly at the sun is unsafe except during the brief total phase of a solar eclipse (“totality”), when the moon entirely blocks the sun’s bright face, which will happen only within the narrow path of totality (https://go.nasa.gov/2pC0lhe(link is external)).
