Trump, The Pitcher

Trump's Situational Pitch Selection

Fast Ball
Shortly before Dr. Anthony Fauci threw a wild first pitch at the Washington Nationals season opener against the New York Yankees on July 27, Donald Trump announced at a White House briefing that he had been asked to throw out the first pitch for the Yankees at a game on August 15.


Curve
Trump was pitching a a lie, of course; but using Trumpian logic, he could legitimately claim his pitch was superior to Dr. Fauci's wide toss because his lie hit its target and deflected attention away from the doctor and toward himself.


Slider
When the news broke that the Yankees had actually never asked Trump to throw out a first pitch, he announced that he had cancelled his mound appearance because he was booked solid on August 15, the day on which it had never been scheduled to occur.
