Give him a break, it's the first time he actually let go of money.

    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)

    He was born rich. It's the first time he's handled coins.

    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.

    Are we sure he wasn't just rigging the coin-toss in the most obvious way possible?

    I had thought about that, especially since Army won the toss, and the Army shares a "birthday" with Trump. He would be a petty enough bitch to fix a coin toss because of that.

    But I chased down video of the toss, and I don't think he looked at the coin long enough to acknowledge which side was up. Rather, I think he tossed the coin as if he was tossing it into a fountain. Which is probably how he regards any coin which doesn't have his picture on it.

    (You would think he has seen enough football games to know how the coin toss goes. But keep in mind he is originally from Queens, NY, which is Jets territory. One could forgive him for not bothering to really follow the NFL over the years if the Jets were all he got to watch.)

    He owned a USFL team, the New Jersey Generals. Shockingly, he bankrupted the team and is widely viewed as the catalyst for the league folding.

    Well, he was the guy that pushed for the USFL to move its schedule from Spring to Fall, which is really what killed it.

    That, and the fact that while the USFL technically won their anti-trust suit with the NFL, they were awarded only $1 in damages (although those types of suits award triple damages, so they really won $3!)

    Trump was in on the bidding for the Bills when they were up for sale, but NFL owners did everything they could to kill that because of all this history. He says that if he bought the Bills, he probably would have never ran for President. In an alternative universe, the country is not a fascist hellhole and the Bills suck (but have a cheerleading squad "on the younger side"....)

    His terrible track record aside, it’s kind of crazy just how many different pies he’s had his fingers in over the years. The guy is like the Forrest Gump of shady business dealings.

    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...

    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?

    None

    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.

    Refs have managed to do this same thing before, but when that happens they re-do the toss.

    Well, we finally have Bezos and Musk on the victory stage clapping with their selected candidate.

    They are less and less concerned about public appearances and open support every year. It... it's almost as if they control the government and media to influence public opinion to win. But that's crazy

    Well, Ronnie Raygun was still in living memory for me, so....while W/Cheney had that Iraq thing, Ronnie Raygun did a lot more damage to this country. And while most people like to add "-gate" to words for scandals, due to Watergate, Iran/Contra was arguably worse.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    No, you can flip a coin with gloves on, especially if you are flipping it onto to the ground. Just give it a bit of spin as it leaves.

    A more competent human might have even practiced, but practicing is just an acknowledgement that you might not know everything already.
