CNN’s ‘Hard-Hitting’ Report: Is Donald Trump Afraid of Stairs?
Newsbusters ^ | March 22, 2017 | Randy Hall

Posted on 03/24/2017 12:00:02 PM PDT by lowbridge

Since CNN’s middle name is “News,” viewers of the weekday morning New Day program expect to catch up on the latest headlines and watch in-depth investigations on the topics of the day. That wasn’t quite the case on Wednesday, when the final segment of the program was devoted to a “hard-hitting” report on whether President Donald Trump is afraid of stairs.

The two-minute segment by Jeanne Moos, the network’s national correspondent, focused on several British newspapers that claim the GOP occupant of the White House has “bathmophobia,” the fear of stairs and slopes.

“’ScareCase’ chortled one British paper back when President Trump took Prime Minister [Theresa] May’s hand as they navigated their way up at the White House,” Moos stated before claiming that British government sources told the press that the president’s rare condition might cause sufferers to panic at the mere sight of a flight of stairs.

She asserted that the fear doesn’t just affect the president before showing a clip of President George W. Bush “nudging Barney,” his pet Scottish Terrier, up the ramp of stairs onto Air Force One.

Yea, and then there was Obama. Bopping down the stairs of AF1 flopping his limp wrists like the homosexual I am sure he is down deep. Used to make me want to puke!

I first saw this reported in the Daily Telegraph. Perhaps if they paid less attention to Trump and stairs and more to jihadi terrorism, Westminster Bridge could have been avoided.

Nah...

I could care less.

I do know that CNN is terrified of truth.

The President is 3 days younger than me. I can walk up stairs easily, but I avoid coming down stairs, because it hurts my knees. I even come down the stairs at home backwards, because I can avoid the knee impact that way.

I am so sick of this shit. And I’m even more sick of the fact that average citizens haven’t burned these frauds at the stake.

If true, which is always in doubt by the enemedia, it could simply mean that he’s a cautious, and extremely aware person, unlike his predecessors.

I’m much younger than him, and I have to take special care going downstairs. So sue me.

When Trump steps off Air Force One, at least he walks like a normal human, not that limp-wristed-bunny-hop prancing Barry did when coming down the jetway.

You’ll be suprised at how dumb they can be, really. Aren’t you already? If not, then, why not?

THE OLD DAYS

Trump walked up stairs to board his 747, and walked down to exit

He famously rode down the escalator to make his announcement:

His penthouse apartment in Trump Tower has an internal spiral staircase:

And an external golden staircase:

And don’t get me started on the staircases at his mansions and properties.

A 70 year old with a brain is respectful of stairs.

How many times have I watched Mr. Trump descend the stairs on both Trump 1 and AF1.

I have always appreciated that he is deliberate about the stairs. I think of him whenever I descend stairs. Watch the feet, Use the handrail. Portable airstairs can be tough and each of them are a little different so we have to overcome muscle memory on stairs.

The author of this ridiculous article did not watch all (any?) of the Trump campaign rallies held in airplane hangars. Too bad. It was great watching him come come down the stairs of his plane.
