It would be fun to watch one try

No, but most of them could mime. The glass box was their favorite.

actually saw science show that said while they were short, t-rex’s arms were massive and they used them to hold down their prey

They had to. How else could they switch fork and knife when eating?

Most dinosaurs could not put their hands palms-down, because the lower arm bones were not capable of twisting long-ways over one another. So Tyrannosaurus rex and most other dinosaurs would have held their hands palms-inward, as if they were getting ready to clap, not palms-down.

The rotation of the forearm that allows us to turn our hands palm-up or palm-down is called pronation and supination: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pronation_and_supination.jpg

However, T. rex might have been able to turn their hands palm-upward: https://www.livescience.com/63858-t-rex-dinosaur-arms.html

Of course they could! Home, kids, job, terrorizing the countryside… ☺
