Donald Trump just retweeted the world's worst eclipse meme, and this can't be real
Donald Trump has proven to have absolutely zero restraint or common sense when it comes to his social media posts, but today he took the his Twitter habit to a whole new level.
On Thursday morning, the U.S. president retweeted an eclipse meme of himself, as a white president, "eclipsing" Barack Obama, the nation's first black president.
It's a retweet so dumb that it may just beat the time he retweeted someone calling him a fascist.

The meme, posted by a user in response to a Trump tweet about Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan, shows a smiling Trump gradually moving in front of a black and white photograph of Obama.
In the last of the four photos, Trump is completely covering Obama, and the words "THE BEST ECLIPSE EVER!" caption the meme.

Yes, this really happened.
Here it is, screenshotted on his profile, just in case Trump deletes it and has a White House official say the image was "inadvertently posted" again. You know, like he did that time he tweeted a meme of a Trump Train driving into a CNN reporter.

Since this retweet shows Trump doesn't have any understanding of how an eclipse works, furious Twitter users were eager to compare Obama to the bright sun, while also pointing out that the meme is straight-up racist.
So Obama is the sun — the bright center of our galaxy — and Trump is the moon, a dead rock that briefly obscures it? That's your metaphor? https://t.co/7Bs3R1OFAu

You shouldn't stare at it, but the comparison pretty much ends there. pic.twitter.com/POs6Rk8scy

Few better illustrations that Trump is, and considers himself, the avatar of white backlash against a black president than this retweet. pic.twitter.com/6SGDYOGF4t

The fact that the President of the United States retweeted this means.....(fill in the blank). https://t.co/s9EoHGL5EH

That's right, Obama is the sun that the entire world orbits around. You are a dark shadow across our once great nation. #resign

If Trump understood how eclipses in fact work, this tweet would not have flattered him so much https://t.co/UIxjawmULS

Trump retweeted this meme which implies that he's a cold lifeless body that blocks the light, plunging the world into darkness pic.twitter.com/vhX2BnSAOA

Trump retweeted this. Admitting that he is the moon to Obama’s sun and a fleeting passing thing that fills people with fear. https://t.co/v9dSS4b1Ay

I'm laughing, in this analogy, Trump is the moon and Obama is the Sun (which is better?). Trump is a temporary blip. What a wally he is.
