Poor Joe --- He's Gonna Blow it....

Maybe they can just claim he was drunk instead of suffering from senility?

Cold Medicine!!! Made him groggy!!!

At least that's honest. Unlike the left who try to defend Biden's short "falling" at every turn. You can't hide a wheelchair.

When he could, yes.

I was thinking that same thing -- or how Ford would bump his head getting in and out of Marine One.

Ironically, even at the time, you had a number of presidential historians stepping forth and asserting that Ford was one of the most physically fit and active presidents we have had in a very long time, but he'll likely always be remembered for his stumbles.

Not nearly as many cameras around then as now. Sort of like how back in the 70s it was noted how few videos there were of tornados. Not a problem these days. In fact, by the end of the 80s there were TV shows and video tapes that spent an entire hour or more showing nothing but video recordings of one tornado after another.



As an aside, it is fascinating to compare the coverage of Biden stumbling three different times trying to climb the steps with the MSM's wall-to-wall coverage of Trump holding of a water glass and walking slowly down a ramp at the West Point commencement last June.

For example, CNN and MSNBC spent over 50 minutes (excluding teases) a day or so later examining each and every step hoping it was a sign of mental and physical decline that had to be further investigated. CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta repeatedly kept saying he wouldn't speculate but would then do exactly that in the next sentence or so and Chris Cillizza was using it to promote his Why the Donald Trump-West Point ramp story actually matters at CNN online.

As for Biden... Nothing to see here: How most of the left-leaning US media totally ignored Biden's Air Force One stumble - while the foreign press did their job for them noting that "As of Friday afternoon, the homepages of MSNBC, CBS News, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and New York Times had no mention of Biden's stumbles."

This was a problem back when Clinton and Obama were president as well. More often than not you could read about anything that was a cause of embarrassment or scandal for them in the British press long before a word about it was ever said or written in the American MSM.

For instance, the MSM has never uttered a word about Biden mumbling that he had no idea what he was signing while merrily signing Executive Action after Executive Action. That would have been a major story if a Republican president did that.

Biden's latest trip reminds me of Chevy Chase on SNL playing President Ford, tripping over everything.


President Ford after tripping on AF1

I do not see any carpet on teh stairs and the first lady is holding an umbrella slippery steps?

Trump also stumbled on AF1's steps. I remember CNN and the other liberal media saying it was a sign of dementia. So going by those experts, Biden stumbling 3 times in a row means he is in late stage Alzheimer's.

And remember Biden mocking Trump?
