WASHINGTON -- President Trump, back in the White House after a 17-day 'working vacation' in New Jersey and New York City, was able to view today's much-heralded solar eclipse from the Blue Room Balcony along with First Lady Melania Trump and son Barron.
When asked by a reporter "how's the view," the President produced a thumbs-up gesture, and, after the eclipse had ended, said at a brief news conference that it "was the best solar eclipse in history."
