WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump plans to watch the solar eclipse from a White House balcony.

The White House said Monday that the president and first lady will take in the cosmic spectacle from the Truman balcony on the second floor of the residence, overlooking the South Lawn.

This is the first full-blown solar eclipse to sweep the United States from coast to coast in nearly a century. Compared to the 14 states that will see a total eclipse, Washington will experience a partial eclipse.

The eclipse was expected to be the most watched and photographed in history.

    Don’t cry for me, West Covina.

  3. Watch carefully, Mister Trump:

    Aug 21 Solar Eclipse. The fixed star Regulus is eclipsed. Babylonians predicted – “if Regulus is black, the “commander of the palace will die.” The placement of the Eclipse indicates that revenge is especially dangerous. A “king” will be challenged who threatens the world order and order will be restored unexpectedly. Fortunate turn of events.

  4. Not about eclipse, unless it can be considered an eclipse of intelligence. Holy shit.

    Phone message to Trump ghost author of art of the deal.

  5. She really knows how to build up to a dénouement. This is either deranged or a performance art piece. Does she ever breathe or does she have gills?
