President Donald Trump appeared to narrowly avoid falling over as he walked up to the podium at a campaign rally in New Hampshire on Friday evening.
Video shows Trump flailing his arms while steadying himself a few feet from the lectern after disembarking from Air Force One.
"Looks like he almost tripped," Liz Willis, a Right Side Broadcasting network announcer, remarked during a livestream of the event. "I'm sure he will make a joke out of that one in just a moment."
Trump's rally in New Hampshire is his first campaign event since accepting the Republican Party nomination for a second term at the party's national convention in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this week.
The campaign event was held at the PeriCohas Hangar and attendees were closely packed together without any apparent social distancing as they watched Trump speak.
The president has previously held campaign events without strict social distancing, including at an indoor rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in June, which health officials said "more than likely contributed" to the county's spike in COVID-19 cases.
...might have lost his balance for a moment. Might. It did not look like he was anywhere close to falling.

His recovery is actually testimony to his balance.
That said, I’ve had to drop to all fours several times when living with a hilly terrain in winter. Hard on the knees and palms, but beat breaking a hip.
Media: “Trump does a willy-willy!! Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh. He didn’t fall. Wah!
Yep! I've almost killed myself in dress shoes. Maybe dress shoes should come with a set of tire chains..
Here’s the NYT’s photographer’s tweet about it.

I’ll say the same thing I say to pepole who say he looks fat, “You try walking around in forty pounds of body armor.”
WOW! He almost tripped once. Well that settles it. Nobody else ever slips and then regains their footing.
Leather soled shoes are good for dancing, somewhat dangerous otherwise.
But POTUS trolls the media all the time, so I’m not sure.
I was walking on a deck and my 3” heels got stuck in the gaps and it was face first. It was funny...didn’t get hurt

They’ll say that proves he isn’t fit to serve another term. You know how they are.
Meanwhile, Basementman is securing cowering in the corner of his basement, covered with cobwebs and dust like most useless junk stored in basements.
I like it!
Glad you didn’t get hurt! Ditch the heels and get some comfortable sneakers..
You stayed me with that one
Great crowd, great people! https://t.co/ugL8yuvPrF— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 29, 2020

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Leather soles are appealing, like so much else of the Devil’s work.
I stick with rubber soles, and I do mean stick.
Someone in their 50’s or beyond, they’re usually sensible because the bones aren’t what they used to be.
Dodging sniper fire. Woman is hero.
Guess Trump caught his illness from Obama. ):
