Donald Trump was one of the major talking points on social media as millions across America watched a total solar eclipse.
The US president was mocked online for appearing to look directly into the sun - despite warnings it could damage your eyes.
And the New York Daily News splashed the image of the front page under the headline: "Not too bright!"
A White House aide in the crowd below shouted “Don’t look!” right as @POTUS looked.

Tonight, Trump’s addressing the nation. Everyone should keep their eclipse glasses to protect eyes from the giant, orange ball of gas.
