'All I can tell you is he's doing fine. He's doing great,' White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.

fell while boarding Air Force One on Friday, the White House blamed his stumbling on the wind.

While climbing the stairs to board the aircraft, Biden drew attention after stumbling several times. After he made it to the top, the president delivered a crisp salute at the door before entering the aircraft. "I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I'm happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him. Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs," White House communications director Kate Bedingfield tweeted shortly afterward.

I am not really his fan but I felt sorry for him

Wow! you should be awarded a Pulitzer Prize hard hitting news!

Poor thang! It’s a lil embarrassing but, your hair was not blowing with only glue holding the rest! Oh, and no toilet tissue stuck on your shoes! Hugz!

So his staffers can’t smoke weed, but joe can go all loopy at “Joint” Base Andrews?

So f...cking what!

No big deal. We all do that.

You don't all have to fall and get up

DOH! DOH! DUUUUH!!!

Eh, age.

Can’t blame that one on the wind.

Looks fine. Bounced back better than me and Im 53. Move along.

Reminder: Mike Pence fell 1st.

The guy tripped. Let him have the dignity of not splashing it everywhere. And what does this have to do with Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump?

Who gives a shit

I slipped on the stairs today too ... it happens

Okay, but I’ll bet he knows how to close an umbrella before he gets on...😕😕

Please take it easy President Biden. America needs you! Kindly take care of your steps n health! 🙏❤️🇺🇸

What is wrong with you. Such a decline in a formerly respected magazine.

So glad for the president that he didn’t hurt himself and he tripped forward. I’ve tripped/slipped downward, several steps to the bottom. Yes, I cried and bruised my hip. And I’m almost twenty yrs younger than the president.

He was more graceful when compared to Pence who did the same thing.

Don't even THINK there’s ANYTHING to compare! Completely Incompatible! Trailing s!t on a shoe? v. Eager excitement!

I've tripped on stairs several times...especially when I trot up them the way he was.

Personne ne lui vient en aide? il pourrait dégringoler 3m d'escaliers à son âge?Soit les 2militaires en bas sont pro Trump et s'en moquent, soit ils étaient au courant de son 'couac'? Biden joue le sénile depuis son élection pour préparer l'opinion à l'arrivée de KamalaHarris

His foot/ankle still weak probably ?

New shoes !!!! Nothing to see here !!! Love our new President !

Sure we all trip, but how often do we blame it on something besides being human? TheWindDidIt or maybe Russia WhoKnows?

Not newsworthy

So fucking what.. Big deal.. It's not like Trump subverting the Constitution or anything like that..

Well trump couldn’t fold an umbrella.

No excuses needed. We all trip.

Really? From every angle? Who was the smart ass pouring oil on steps?! Evidence that they are setting up the President again!

You think it is funny, but look at what you take for granted. Being able to walk upright.

This is definitely the first time anyone in the history of going upstairs has tripped. ( sigh )

We need age limits for all political and judicial positions. When you hit 70, it's time to face reality, acknowledge the universal law of entropy and retire.

It was windy-cut him some slack

Age 80 normally like usa

So? The prior president supported an insurrection!

Poor man! I have 20 years on him and I’d find those stairs daunting.

Sure of course ... it wasn’t Mr Pakingson or Mr Alzheimer...

This self-propelled 'teleprompter in a jacket' has a long tongue for which it is necessary to answer.

SecretService was slow. No one did anything. Should have rushed to the rescue.

I tripped several time on the way to the bathroom. What’s the scandal?

Didn't he break his foot recently?

Remember 🤡 walking with toilet paper stuck on his shoe

From the shadows you can tell that he can't even see the steps, the sun is in his eyes. Anybody hurrying up those steps would miss a couple.

Whats's the purpose of this slandering 'story'? To evidence the notion that Trump nastily spat-- that Biden is old, feeble, and an idiot? As if only old people trip?

Why is this your main story?

I tripped on the sidewalk while walking the dog today.

Notice how he composed himself and continued up the stairs, unaided, as if something was slippery on the steps. Nothing much to see there except someone tripping.

Backstorymom1 Still got back up and made it faster than FormerGuy ever did.

Looks like it’s going to be tough to climb these stairs for 4 years ...

So? There’s always Kamala, in case you don’t know.

A shame, whoever let this frail 78 year old man walk up two flights of stairs on his own should be fired. Next time, let's get him a walker or motorized wheelchair. he is our leader after all.

Call Acorn?

White house says it was the wind. 14 miles per hour. How stupid do they think we are.

I think the only appropriate response to this kind of trash is to post amazing clips of people falling all. the. freaking. time.

We almost lost him on the last one

From this angle, you can't see the bizarre painting from the underside of the plane.

Too excited.

Whose POTUS?.....HAHAHAHAHA

Where were Jill & the Ho to help him up the stairs?

We are more concern about traitors and insurrectionists.

He is not a collaborator or liar. He is great

14 miles per hour? Is that hurricane force? My god the bullshit that comes out of the White House just keeps growing. Some more obvious than others.

This is America’s leadership now. Embarrassing.

AND!!!!!!

Just a reminder that potus had a broken foot after the election

ABD başkanı Joe Biden Rusya devlet başkanı Putin için katil demiş. Aklıma şu söz geldi. Şecaat Arz Ederken Merd-i Kıbtî Sirkatin Söyler

Slow down, Joe! At least he's not 'afraid' of stairs.

there was no need to provoke Putin 🤪

But he scored!! Bidenfall

Joe is incompetent. He should be in care home

Biden needs to be propped up to get onto AF One. Trump uses AF One as a campaign prop.

Get him help someone.

Putin may has secret info

Anyone can and everyone has tripped. Why is this news?

So wind is now stronger than the president? Truly, he is too old and u can't cheat nature.

well we all know it wasn't cocaine like the trump family

Wonder what Trump blames the toilet paper on his shoe on

Dumb. Why can’t they just say he tripped. We all do it.

Kamala president in a few weeks.

Lol 😂

I trip up my stairs at home and there’s usually no 20 mph winds.

complete non-news non-issue. quit sucking trump

arimoto_kaori わたしは騙されてしまったんだぁ~ って、故意に転んでいるのだったりしてね。 この仕事を受けたときは外国の介入だとは知らなかった・とかね。

Glad to see I’m not the only one this happens too.

'This past November, just after his 87th birthday, Biden fractured his foot while playing with his German shepherd Major.' Hey NW! Biden is 78! !!! PROOF READ!!!

Obviously it’s his ankle...says the person who has been on crutches many times and had 5 ankle surgeries. You can see it buckle and then when he puts weight on it, it gives out again. It happens with ligament and tendon tears.

my neighbor farted on her front porch and i got a whiff. I blamed the wind.

He is an elderly man. It's that simple.

It’s called being human. It’s not like he killed 500,000 people.

The winds are strong but he also was moving at a good pace too I’m just glad he’s okay

Thank God they didn’t blame Trump 😳😏

Didn’t he recently have a cast on his foot?

No matter how much the mainstream media places Joe Biden under the microscope of flaws and imperfections, it will never compensate for the blatant and shameless ignorance that was shown towards an egregiously incompetent despot like Donald Trump.

I trip over air molecules and I'm 63. It happens.

Seriously , stop imitating FoxNews

He's a 78 years old man who decided to keep working and helping his country, we all should show some respect

I am reminded why I don’t read your garbage. WTF is wrong with you?

Been there 🙄

It is but natural. Everyone stops once in awhile. I would just tell the President Sir, pls be careful and climb slower surer. With vultures hovering you won’t don’t want to give them any opportunity to tarnish you, WH or the Administration.

Someone (obviously a Trumpublican) tied President Biden's shoelaces together! For shame!

Although I approve of the mask wearing,it is a hindrance!

We ALL fall, STOP IT.

If that’s what the building said

So what! This happens to people every day!

Add non slip soles POTUS for more grip

hahahahahaha

arimoto_kaori www

He's 78, let it go.

Newsweek can't do better journalism than this? He's an old man, they trip sometimes. So the fuck what. I didn't agree with the Trump can't drink water, or can't walk down a ramp, or wanders off, or has toilet paper on his shoe 'journalism' either.

Maybe the foot he broke a few weeks ago is still bothering him. Hard to say, but I'm glad he's okay.
