President Donald Trump used a bizarre technique to toss the coin before the Army-Navy football game in Philadelphia, and people noticed.
Twitter users poked fun at Trump after he launched the coin at Lincoln Financial Field on Saturday into the air like this:

“What the hell kind of coin toss is that @realdonaldtrump?????” asked @WadyPhoto, whose video of the televised incident had by early Tuesday garnered more than 1.6 million views.
As these posts prove, many folks weren’t convinced by his method:
He wanted to throw it higher than Obama did.

It’s like Donald was making the toss look so dramatic, you know, got the cameras. I’ll bet he practiced all week for it!

Nobody flips coins better than he does. He flips all the best coins. The best!

I love that he points to it to prove he did throw it and it is ,in fact, still a coin.
— M.T. (@BamboozledIdiot) December 10, 2018
He's never held an actual coin before, nevermind tossed one. #privilege much?

I love how he points at the coin on the ground, amazed that once again, gravity worked.

It's like he's feeding seagulls.

That was his paper towel throwing arm... 😉
He doesn’t like it when things flip on him 🤣

This is an impeachable offense. The point at the end. Gawd.
