27 Hilarious Tweets About Trump & The Eclipse That Make The Darkness Feel A Little Lighter

After a pretty eventful year in America, we finally have a fun national distraction in the form of the first eclipse to travel fully across the U.S. since 1918. Monday's solar eclipse had many people traveling to parts of the country where it could be viewed, while others remained nonchalant. Regardless of how you view the spectacular event, it has also been yet another opportunity for some to poke fun at America's current leader. Twitter users couldn't resist joking about President Donald Trump and the solar eclipse in the lead-up to the big event.

Trump's presidency, currently in its eighth month, has been eventful, at the very least. He's signed controversial executive orders, spawned countless memes, and made headlines with numerous gaffes and insensitive comments. A handful of members of Trump's administration have resigned or were fired, and Congress has waged a war over the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

In all of this turmoil, it's tempting to turn to comic relief, and that's where Twitter comes in. While First Daughter Ivanka Trump has been tweeting information about the eclipse, others have taken to the social media platform to poke fun at her father, his one-upmanship, and the way he's handled the presidency thus far.
