Weird thing to do.

It's the kind of thing some adults do to children. Guess that demonstrates what Newt thinks of women, even one clearly his elder. Maybe a bit like the condescending pat on the head.

You take their nose, but it's really just your thumb.

Newt then showed her how he could pull off his own thumb, and pulled out a quarter from behind her ear.

How that even happened. The look on Newt's face is blank. I hope that woman's nose ran on his fingers. LOL!

Is it too far a reach to imagine him smothering Grandma with a pillow? Don't you think that senior citizen voters might be a bit creeped out by his cold blooded demeanor?
