    The teen happened to have caught it but Trump didn't "throw it back to the teen who handed it to him." Trump threw it randomly into the crowd

    LOL. OK.

    A. That's not true. He threw it up high, but directly to the kid.

    B. Even your less than generous reading of the situation is not what Politico suggested happened.

    No, you see, that was fake news by Politico. However, the White House announcing the Carl Vinson carrier group was steaming north to the Sea of Japan to deter North Korea - when it actually was heading south to the Indian Ocean - was not fake news. It was strategery. Or something.

    Linky must have missed this story.

    Or maybe he just didn't like it because the killer wasn't a "white guy".

    Threw it up high, but directly to the kid. OK.

    Here's the kid handing the hat to Trump

    Here is Trump throwing the hat back into the crowd. Circled is where the kid is standing. You can watch the video for yourself, the guy with the kid on his shoulders is blocking the view of the teen when Trump throws the hat. You can see where Trump is looking. It is not where that teen is standing.

    And here is where the teen catches it. He has to lean into the crowd to catch his hat.

    So please tell me again how Trump "threw it up high but directly at the kid."

    The hat clearly goes back ... and to the left.
    Back ... and to the left.
    Back ... and to the left.

    Now we know why he didn't throw out the first ball for the Nats. He's more scatter-armed than Nuke LaLoosh.
