Randolph letter: Trump, eclipse

After just witnessing the solar eclipse in Crouch, Idaho, using my scientifically approved glasses ... to watch space doing what has been going on for billions of years was awesome. I and my friends used our full protective glasses till total totality. If you saw the picture of the leader of the free world and his family during this event, his wife had sunglasses, his young son was smart enough to look down, only the “big T” was looking into the eclipse. Kindergarten kids are taught not to do that. This just proved he is not smart enough for his own safety, so how can we trust him with the United States’ safety?
