    This fucking idiot. That had to be on purpose or trolling. You can’t possibly be that stupid. Most people learn to flip a coin at what, 5? What else can’t this guy do normally? I guarantee when he isn’t shitting his diaper, that he wipes back to front.

    Bet he picked up that coin right after and pocketed it.

      His “business career” is almost entirely made out of failures and bankruptcies, he’s very much used to losing shitloads of money. He was a fucking moron long before he became senile.

        My favorite factoid, he charged his own “failing” casinos 90K for each floor walkthrough. One way.

        Is that a failed business, or was it in fact designed to “fail” so Trump could make a fortune?

        I think he’s dumb now, but Roy Cohn taught him well (he was also infamous for skipping bills, screwing contractors, and so on)

        That’s why he tossed it the way he did, that’s how you toss money into a fire. Proper coin flip lands to close, you don’t wanna be that close to the money fire.

    Taking the coin with a pinched left hand, and placing it into the open palm of his right, the president heaved the coin forward, sending it in a feeble, plunging arc. Helpfully, he pointed out where the coin had landed after it hit the ground.

    God, that last part made me literally LOL.

    If this were Biden, the Faux Cinematic Universe would be calling for impeachment/Amendment 25 over just this alone…

    I genuinly do not give af. Trump is incompetent, and we can all gloat as leftists at his incompetence, but it’s his evil which matters. And frankly, he’s a very good propagandist.

    Imagine being a 270lb block of muscle pumped full of testosterone standing this close to a fascist murderer and child rapist and not ripping even one of his limbs off? Talk about a setup for regret.

    lol this will be the official MAGA coin flip style from now on. I really hope they show that on their Trump commemorative coin commercials.

    I am once again begging people to not post headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.

        Same problem as in 2016. Everyone assumed they’d beat Trump. Their main opposition would be in the primaries, because nobody would really vote for him, right?

        Wrong, twice. And as bad as the first term felt, this one has been so much more catastrophic.

    Is it possible he has never flipped a coin, nor ever seen someone flip a coin, that he really doesn’t understand the basic intuitive physics behind “flipping” a coin? smh

      Yes, it’s very possible. It’s like how he thinks you’re supposed to pat children on the head with Hershey bars at Halloween.

        A friend, in reference to this, used the phrase “plastic people”. Sigh, they really are. Remember those photos of trump trying to stand like a normal human being, and failing?

            Yeah, it’s supposedly a symptom of a particular mental degeneration, but diagnosing without a full workup and being in person with a patient is a little bit of a faux pas.

            AFAIK, It’s typical of photos from that time - 2016-2020. And yeah, he’s real, and a real problem. But really only the figurehead at the top of the iceberg.

            Also regards OP’s post, loss of strength, and dexterity of one’s hands correlates with age, loss of strength, and decline of cognitive function in the elderly. Perhaps you’ve experienced shaking hands with someone who is in their 70s, 80s. Compare that to someone in their 20s, 30s. It’s been my experience which correlates with what I’ve been taught about the effects of aging globally, that those who are older compensate with a rigid/ stiff strength where they have loss of neural feedback. This doesn’t just effect motor function, it also demonstrates an effect on cognitive function.

    Stuns? I don’t think “stuns” is the correct for geriatric Bruisey-hand McShit-his-pants’s inability to flip a coin. He often falls asleep in important meetings and goes off on senile rants. So, him not being able to flip a coin seems pretty on point.

    This clown can’t do a LOT of normal things. The only thing he’s good at is appealing to morons and grifting.
