Trump compares the election to the solar eclipse: the ex-president’s head blocks the sun during a video in which he calls November 5 “the most important event in human history”… seven years after he stared into the sky without glasses

It’s been seven years since Donald Trump stared directly at the solar eclipse without wearing goggles.

Now he’s hopping back on the sky-gazing bandwagon with a campaign video comparing the election to the solar event.

As millions of people across the country prepare to watch the moon block out the sun, Trump released a clip of a silhouette of his head moving across the sky.

The video begins with the phrase “the most important moment in human history will happen in 2024,” floating above an image of the sun.

With the 2001: A Space Odyssey theme playing in the background, the video then cuts to photos of crowds of people gathered to watch the eclipse with their glasses on.

The crowds start cheering as Trump’s head slowly moves closer to the sun and the US darkens.

When his head covers the sun, causing his own eclipse, more words flash across the screen saying, “We will save America.” And make it great again’.

Trump released the video overnight, hours before he finally announced his policy on abortion.
