"But he tried. In videos of the event, a referee asks Trump, "Mr. President, would you do the honor?" and hands him the coin that determines which team gets the ball. Trump takes the coin in his gloved palm, hoists it upwards, and lets it fall to the ground. The coin, as far as eyes can tell, does not flip . At all. "Donald Trump even flips a coin like a total loser," @ArtCandee . "Trump may have executed the single worst coin flip in history," wrote Hal Stewart, a former congressional candidate for New York. "That coin is headed to the hall of shame!" Ed Krassenstein, a political commentator, "Donald Trump flips a coin like a pansy.""
"But Trump's inability to flip is not nearly as well known as his hankering to overturn. Also on Thursday, Politico that White House attorneys that being required to provide sign language interpretation in White House news conferences would "severely intrude" on Trump's "prerogative to control the image he presents to the public." In May, the National Association for the Deaf sued Trump for ending a Biden-era in which a sign language interpreter was required at White House briefings. The lawsuit states that by stopping American Sign Language (ASL) services, Trump was thus "denying hundreds of thousands of deaf Americans meaningful access to the White House's real-time communications." The White House's insane argument on image control came as part of that ongoing case."
A ceremonial coin toss by Trump appeared to fail to flip, attracting online mockery and critical social-media reactions. Public commenters described the toss as among the worst and ridiculed the performance. Separately, White House attorneys argued that providing sign language interpretation at briefings would "severely intrude" on presidential image control. The National Association for the Deaf sued after the administration ended a Biden-era requirement for ASL interpreters at White House briefings. The lawsuit alleges that stopping ASL services denied hundreds of thousands of deaf Americans meaningful access to real-time White House communications.
