A humiliating piece of footage is going viral today showing President Joe Biden fall multiple times as he desperately tries to climb the stairs to Air Force One.
The 78 year-old president was trying to run up the stairs to Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews on Friday when he stumbled twice before falling over completely the third time. After composing himself, Biden seemed to dust off his knee before he was finally able to make his way to the top.

Once at the top of the stairs, Biden gave a salute and then ducked into the cabin of the aircraft to fly to Georgia, according to The New York Post.

“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,” she wrote on Twitter. “Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs.”

Ironically, Biden once mocked former President Donald Trump for the way he gingerly walked down a “slippery” ramp.
“Look at how he steps and look at how I step,” Biden said back in September. “Watch how I run up ramps and he stumbles down ramps. OK? Come on.”

That comment certainly didn’t age well!
Trump defended the way he was walking at the time by saying, “The ramp that I descended after my West Point Commencement speech was very long & steep, had no handrail and, most importantly, was very slippery.”
“The last thing I was going to do is ‘fall’ for the Fake News to have fun with,” he added. “Final ten feet I ran down to level ground. Momentum!”
Questions about Biden’s health and physical fitness have been lingering ever since before he took office. Back in November, he suffered a hairline fracture in his right foot after an incident he claimed occurred when he was playing with his dog. As he recovered, he had to wear an orthopedic boot for several weeks.
