Here’s what The Washington Examiner reported:
Joe Biden posted a warning as the public prepares to view the solar eclipse sweeping across the United States on Monday afternoon.
“An eclipse is worth marveling at,” the White House posted on X along with a video of himself putting on solar eclipse glasses and staring up at the sun.
He also wrote, “But don’t be silly, folks — play it safe and wear protective eyewear.”
In addition to the president, NASA is warning sky gazers that it is not safe to stare directly at the eclipse without specialized eye protection for solar viewing. Anyone viewing the moon completely blocking the Sun’s bright face should wear sun-protective glasses because it can lead to permanent eye damage due to retinal burns.

Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:
President Joe Biden mocked Donald Trump’s staring straight into the sun during the 2017 eclipse with a warning ahead of this year’s totality: ‘play it safe and wear protective eyewear.’
On his X account, Biden posted a short video showing himself in the exact spot at the White House that Trump stood in seven years ago and stared at a partial eclipse without eye protection.
‘Folks enjoy the eclipse but play it safe, don’t be silly,’ Biden says as he dons protective eyewear.
