‘Whatever You Do, Don’t Resign’

Conan O’Brien and Trevor Noah said President Trump refused to listen to his staff on what seemed like a very small matter on Monday: whether to look directly at the solar eclipse.

“After being advised specifically not to look at the sun without protective glasses — true story — President Trump stared at the eclipse today without protective glasses. He did it after they told him not to. So afterwards, everyone started advising him: Whatever you do, don’t resign.” — CONAN O’BRIEN “Apparently the president’s aides were really worried about him, so they told him not to look directly into the sun. And Donald Trump was like, ‘Don’t worry about me — that’s my policy every day: Don’t look at the son, don’t talk to the son, and definitely don’t celebrate the son’s birthday.’” — TREVOR NOAH
