I don't believe POTUS actually watched the eclipse without any protection. In fact, either he should have suffered from a severe eye problem (it's also not young), and we would have been informed, or he is Superman and can look into the sun. I think he was photographed looking up and the newspapers did the rest.

 

PS Just to play in the open : I'd have wished for a much better POTUS, but I consider Trump the lesser evil, by far.
