Bringing up the viral image of President Donald Trump staring at the sun without protective glasses during Monday’s solar eclipse, Fox News host Tucker Carlson appeared to joke that the move was “not a complete surprise” on his show Monday evening.

“Even the President saw it, but in a move that is not a complete surprise, he looked directly at the son, without any glasses, perhaps the most impressive thing any President has ever done,” he said.

Twitter is debating whether Carlson was being sarcastic in his comments.

1. Have we lost our sense of humor?

He was obviously trying to be funny.

2. That attempt to be funny failed, obviously.

Dear Fucker Carlson, would YOU have looked at the sun with no protective glasses???

[oberliner]

3. Well, he isn't actually funny

Which is why his "jokes" are of such a poor quality.

I am amazed that he and, more disturbingly, Jesse Watters, have their own primetime shows on that channel.

4. Trump tried to make eye contact with the sun, it hid behind the moon

Read elsewhere.

5. I didn't realize that Tucker Carlson had a sense of humor that goes beyond rideculing someone

(usually a Democrat)

8. Did you watch. He was totally deadpan saying it. He didn't even smirk. The clip was weird.

6. Glitch in the matrix.

9. the only lesson here is

Carlson can't deliver a joke

10. Hitler did it better.

11. Just needed to change one little word - from "any" to "this" - then it makes perfect

sense.

Most impressive thing this president has done.

12. tRump could take a shit live on tuckface's show and he would say that

[L. Coyote]

14. Exactly. "When youre a star they let you ogle other stars."

Tucker may go blind if ever allowed too near Trump's brilliant countenance. Meanwhile ....

13. If you watch Tucker Carlson's show then you will go blind, luckily no one watches his show.

No one.
