US President Donald Trump retweeted a meme that shows him "eclipsing" former President Barack Obama
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump retweeted a meme that shows Mr Trump slowly "eclipsing" former President Barack Obama, with the caption "The best eclipse ever!" The series of images show Mr Trump's smiling, full-color face slowly blocking out a black-and-white image of a somber Mr Obama. The bizarre meme was tweeted by Jerry Travone, a "proud Trump supporter," who, according to his Twitter bio, is a "YouTube actor and political junkie."

"I was trying to say that Donald J Trump's spirit and love for this country eclipses anyone and anything," the
Daily Mail quotes Mr Travone as saying.
The sun disappeared behind the moon in a rare total solar eclipse that was seen coast-to-coast across the US for the first time in nearly a century on Monday. Washington DC, however, only witnessed a partial solar eclipse.
Mr Trump was photographed briefly staring up at the sun, without protection, during the eclipse. Thanks to Twitter, that
