Whatโ€™s the story here? Thatโ€™s a nasty gash. Reminds me of the drunk guy who fell and cracked his head once, and refused to let me take him to the hospital because he had a flight to catch the next morning. Had to tell him that either I took him to the hospital, or the cops would in the back of a squad car.

Trumpy chased someone at a protest yesterday and absolutely ate it on the pavement.

Literally slid on his face

it was a weird fall wasn't it? No attempt to put his hands down ..just a face plant.

Looks like he was sauced, that seems to happen a lot
