Trump the vain, low energy, coward

Trump was supposedly a very good high school baseball player so it’s weird that he is refusing to throw out the first pitch this year as presidents always do. Most people figure that he’s too vain to take a chance on failing to throw it over the plate or he’s afraid he’s going to get booed. (He doesn’t ever appear in front of anything but adoring crowds.)
I suspect it’s a little bit of both. That picture up top doesn’t look like the great high school player maintained very good form over the years. But who knows? Maybe he’s just another Fernando Valenzuela. (I doubt it…)
For fun, here are other presidents throwing the first ball:
Also, he doesn’t really have a lot of strength and stamina and seems a little low energy these days. Yesterday he looked downright tuckered and very out of sorts.
TRUMP MOMENT as @VeepHBO closing credit scene is 🤣😂😂
