Jim Jordan’s Committee Posts Image from Weird Trump Video Showing Ex-President Blocking Out the Sun
On the same day as the 2024 total solar eclipse, Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) House Judiciary Committee posted a bizarre image showing Donald Trump’s enormous head blocking out the sun.

The image was taken from a campaign video Trump posted on his Truth Social account, apparently inferring that his MAGA presence is “eclipsing” political dissenters and Never Trumpers.
The video begins with strains from Thus Spoke Zarathustra, made famous as the theme from Stanley Kubrick’s film, 2001: A Space Odyssey.
As a large sun slowly takes its place in the middle of the screen, words begin to appear:
“The Most Important Moment In Human History Is Taking Place in 2024.”
A large Trump head is then seen coming into frame and moving to cover up the sun, as vintage footage of observers wearing eclipse glasses, looking skyward, and excitedly applauding is interspersed throughout the video. Once the sun is completely blocked by the big Trump head, the following words appear:
“We Will Save America And Make It Great Again. Trump 2024.”
Chants of “USA, USA” are heard as the video fades to black.
Jordan’s House Judiciary Committee didn’t give a reason for posting the Trump head on its X account.
Social media users had plenty to say about the image:
If this is not a cult, I don’t know what is.

It’s getting harder and harder to admit publicly that I am a Republican.
