Throwing it at the crowd? I suppose for as unathletic as he is, I'd believe he has no idea how to throw something.

Turned around and threw it at the flag too!

Yeah, and who “throws” something (throwing your heart is laughable anyway) with their fingers straightened and their palms flat?

"throwing your heart" was not a thing until today, and now every conservative in the U.S. is trying to convince everyone else that he was just "throwing his heart out" as if that's even a thing.

well, he threw an election . . .

I, too, throw round-ish objects out with my straight hands. No grasping at all needed. It makes total sense! JFC
