Donald Trump falls up the stairs during latest appearance and everyone’s making the same point
Donald Trump faced an awkward moment over the weekend when he tripped while climbing the stairs to Air Force One. The incident occurred as he was heading to Camp David in Maryland to discuss potentially invoking the Insurrection Act in response to protests in Los Angeles. Despite not declaring an insurrection, Trump deployed National Guard troops, drawing criticism from California Governor Gavin Newsom. The stumble, caught on video, quickly went viral, with many noting the irony given Trump’s past mockery of Joe Biden’s similar falls.
Social media users were quick to point out the hypocrisy, recalling Trump’s jokes about Biden’s stumbles during his presidency. Comments like “Karma!” and “Bro just pulled a Biden” flooded platforms, highlighting the reversed roles. Trump had previously ridiculed Biden for tripping on Air Force One stairs and at public events, calling it “not inspiring.” Now, the tables have turned, sparking amusement and schadenfreude among critics. The incident serves as a reminder that even leaders aren’t immune to clumsy moments—or the internet’s relentless scrutiny.
