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.
Donald Trump has released a campaign video comparing the election to the solar eclipse, with his head blocking the sun
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.
