Biden Trips Up

Many of us on the right have said many times that Biden would probably trip up if he was elected president. And...well...here we have him tripping up.
His current policy blunders so far aside.
Look, the man is 78 years old, and I won't hold him to account for tripping. 78 year old men aren't always as agile. He certainly is not in nearly as good health as former president Trump was, who is only a year Biden's junior.
But I do notice other things here that kind of fit the narrative that perhaps old sleepy Joe Biden is not quite in his full wits.
He walks past saluting members of the armed forces and does not salute back. In fact, he did not salute a single member of the armed forces.
He approaches the bottom of the stairs and salutes it. He literally salutes the staircase. He didn't even make an attempt to salute the saluting soldier to the right of him.
Which is tradition by the way.
I am not convinced Biden even knew where he was. And even the way he hesitated before the staircase, I think he wasn't sure if he was supposed to go up it.
And then he tripped. Three times. And then salutes at the top of the staircase to no one in particular.
Don't presidents normally just wave and then enter the plane?
Isn't it somewhat interesting as well that no one rushed to his aide? You'd have thought that at the first trip of the Commander in Chief, someone would have bounded the stairs just in case he might go back down the other way.
But no one budged the first time. No one budged the second time. No one budged the third time. No one budged when he grabbed his knee.
I think maybe they were all just too busy giving Harris a call and asking her where she was in case they might have to quickly swear her in.
President Biden stumbled as he climbed the steps to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews before departing for a trip to Georgia.» Subscribe to NBC News: http:...

The big question is, is he really in charge of our country? Or is he just the puppet and someone else is calling all the shots?

I found it horrifying that no one rushed to help the President when he stumbled. Everyone around him seemed to be pretty lackadaisical about it as he stumbled his way up the stairs.

That would be funny if he weren't so pathetic. Did you hear him in a video say President Harris? And didn't even correct himself!

I did not see that video but it is not surprising that he called her President Harris.

When I first watched the video, two things immediately jumped out at me: one, why did no one rush to help the President, who was clearly struggling to get to the top? And two, we can land a f*cking rover on a dime on Mars, and yet we still require the most powerful person on the planet to bound a set of stairs to get onto an airplane? How archaic is that? Why aren't they using some type of elevator or escalator to get the President onto his plane?

@TheHorse They're called jetways, and I've always wondered why they aren't used for the President.

Of my, that was awful and I'm surprised like you. I didn't realize he tripped going up the stairs. Maybe he should have practiced.

@TheHorse it didn't look that way. Someone should have gone to his side what if he fell?

@MarshaMusselman I think it all happened pretty quickly. I'm glad he's OK.

And they were blaming it on the wind. Really? If it was indeed windy he shouldn't have rushed up the stairs. He should've taken his time. Common sense. And he should've done that regardless of the wind actually. Anyone who rushes/runs up or down the stairs can trip and even fall. I doubt Trump ever ran up the stairs to the plane.

@RebeccasFarm I watched his recent presser just to stay 'in the know.' But it was nothing interesting. In fact, it was very scary stuff.

Yah and how about during the press conference when he just drifted off into a verbal stumble not reassuring

No one rushed to his aide. No one. Not anyone at the bottom of the stairs. Not anyone at the top of the stairs. This is EXTREMELY telling, and the fact that many people have not observed this is perhaps more alarming than the fact that he could have had a really bad tumble.

Hilarious.
At least USA's embarrasment is giving the world reasons to have fun with hilarious memes of this laughingstock.of a puppet president Joe.
So sorry for the fate you are in. Stuck with him until 2024.
