to where the ceremony on the field is? A long way to walk donny, all the way to the middle of a football field.

Low Energy Donny is going to need a fully fueled golf cart to handle his travels during the game...

The coin toss happens in the first couple minutes, after that he'll probably split. They don't have a coin toss after the halftime, just for the beginning of the game.

Obviously they don't have a coin toss at halftime, where did you get the ridiculous notion that I was referring to that? Tradition is that the President sits on one side the first half and the other the second half, so as to not show favoritism towards one branch or the other.

It's often wise should do a little reading before one attempts to make fun of someone else, to avoid appearing like an ignorant fool.

Like previous commanders in chief, Trump switched sides at halftime in a show of impartiality. During the second half, he sat between Vice Adm. Ted Carter Jr. and Richard V. Spencer, secretary of the Navy.

He sat on the Army side first between Mark Esper, the secretary of the Army, and Army Gen. Mark Milley, the current chief of the Army and Trump's nominee to succeed Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Almost as bad as Trump flipping the coin, he tossed in the air with no thumb action at all, liked he had never handled a coin in his life. I seriously doubt there was any rotation until possibly after hitting the ground. The ref managed it well, not giving the coin to dumbshit until after Navy made their call.

That is a long walk to the center of the field and back. If he carts it, that will be the big story of the day.

I'm sure he can get some of his idolaters to do this:

I usually enjoy watching that game. Won't be fit to see if Cheetolini is there -- stupid talkers and directors will keep cameras on that thing.

I did wonder if it was because he was inside all the time.

No way he stood outside through the entire game. I doubt he even watched it.
