The Eyes Have It: Hitler and Trump

Hitler was short sighted, but he never wanted to let the public know that he needed glasses.  In fact, all his briefing papers in his Berlin Bunker were retyped with a special, large font so he could read them.  Similarly, Trump pretended he was invincible when he stared at the eclipse in August 2017 without proper protection, but the President would never admit publicly that he might now have weak eyes.  Besides, it’s always easier to watch television than to read.
