I slipped today for your tomorrow

Just call him Jo-slip Biden.
President Biden, 80, slipped and nearly tumbled down a 14-step staircase while exiting Air Force One on Tuesday — just hours after it was revealed that the commander-in-chief is working with a physical therapist and using shorter stairs to avoid further trip-ups.
The near-miss occurred moments after Biden touched down at the Detroit Metro Airport, where he was greeted by United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain, Michigan Lt. Gov. Garland Gilchrist and US Reps. Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib and Shri Thanedar, all Michigan Democrats, the clip shared by radio reporter Alex McLennon shows.
Despite the hair-raising moment, Biden recovered his footing and appeared unbothered by the gaffe.
Footage of the incident, however, quickly caught fire on social media — which was already smoldering from earlier reports that Biden has been doing balancing exercises in order to avoid more public spills as his team frets over polls showing that three-quarters of Americans think he is too old for a second term.
In addition to meeting with physical therapist Drew Contreras, the veteran politician has been spotted opting for sneakers rather than slippery dress shoes, and is using the shorter staircase to help him reach Air Force One’s flight deck.
Needless to say, critics were unimpressed by Tuesday’s stumble.
“This is a terrible look for the President of the United States,” Mike Davis, the former chief counsel for nominations to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), tweeted as the video of the Detroit slip made the rounds on social media.
“Install a chair lift for the geezer in chief,” another sour commenter mocked.

Grassley is 90 years old—Republican have got this....
Lol.
RE: Despite the hair-raising moment, Biden recovered his footing and appeared unbothered by the gaffe.
As if he is aware of his surroundings the rest of the time. If he’s in a daze he isn’t bothered by anything. But sudden anger surges happen when they tell him his poll numbers are down. Or when somebody moves the White House bathrooms during the day so he can’t remember where they are.
A shorter stair case? so it doesn’t reach the plane, or doesn’t reach the ground?
Let’s try giving him different size steps, that’s sure to make him safer !!!
.
Imagine how many drugs they have pumped in him.
We’ve seen the IV marks for 3 years now.
Just wish that “Gravity” would try a bit harder next time.
“A shorter stair case? so it doesn’t reach the plane, or doesn’t reach the ground?”
No, it’s actually there, just farther towards the tail of the plane, and it appears to be about halfway as high as the main staircase, probably something like a service entrance.
😂😂
His mind was telling him to do a little jog for the cameras, his feet forgot how.
“ Grassley is 90 years old—Republican have got this....”
Yes Grassley is old.
If every elderly Congress person were as sharp as he is, we wouldn’t be talking as much about the issue .
Enjoy your trip
See you next fall.
A nation ruled by octogenarians and nanogenarians is doomed.
OK, he nearly stumbled, not tumbled. As for the shorter stairs, on some clips (not from today) you can see that when he gets into AF1 he turns rights and heads up more stairs inside—that way any stumbles or tumbles are out of sight of us groundlings. They look narrow and likely have handrails on both sides to help him climb up and down.
For those of you who are wrestling fans: I'm waiting for a "face plant" that would make Ric Flair or Greg Valentine green with envy.
you should be banned for teasing us like that. 14 aluminum steps would likely critically hurt him........
