Joe Biden falls off Air Force One

United States President, Joe Biden, stumbled and fell thrice while climbing the Air Force One stairs at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland earlier today Friday, March 19, 2021.

 

He was on his way to Georgia when he missed his step three times while boarding the Air Force One.

 

He and Vice President Kamala Harris were on their way to Atlanta, Georgia, to meet the community devastated by Wednesday’s shooting that left eight people dead.

 

Following the incident, Donald Trump Jr, the son of the 45th US President, took to Twitter to mock his father’s successor.

 

He shared a video of Biden falling and wrote: “I remember the press bashing Trump for touching the rail once. Biden falls repeatedly but I’m sure he’s the picture of health. No wonder all our enemies are pouncing simultaneously and mocking him publicly.”

He also shared a doctored video showing his father, Donald Trump Sr., playing golf, and when he hit the ball, it flew and hit Biden on the head, causing him to fall.

 

His caption on the video reads: “It wasn’t the wind folks.”

America’s oldest president, 78, however recovered to give a salute at the top of the stairs before departing to meet with Asian American community leaders in the wake of the massage parlour massacre.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told White House pool reporters the president was “doing fine” after the fall.

“It was very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 percent,” she told reporters. “He’s doing fine. He’s preparing for the trip just fine.”

The triple tumble comes amid question over the ageing president’s fitness for office after referring to his vice president as “President Harris”.
