resident Joe Biden tripped as he walked down the stairs of the Itsukushima Shrine on Friday in his rush to greet Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The president was running late - all the other G7 leaders had arrived on Miyajima Island and were waiting on him to begin the tour of the holy site - when he stumbled and caught himself before he fell.
He and Kishida continued on as if the slip didn't happen, joining the rest of the heads of state to see the iconic 'floating' torii gate. The evening on the famous island, known for its wild deer, capped the end of a long first day of the summit.
After the tour, the world leaders - the heads of the United States, Japan, Canada, Italy, France, German, the United Kingdom and European Union - had a private dinner on the island.
But Biden, 80, left that dinner early. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the 'plan' was for the president to receive an update from his debt ceiling negotiation team back in Washington where it is now morning.
Biden who is the oldest U.S. president, has faced and dismissed questions about his age, particularly as he campaigns for a second term in the White House.
His doctor has declared him healthy and fit to serve but has conceded the president's gait is 'stiff.' Biden has tripped before - twice boarding Air Force One: one in March 2023 and in March 2021.
Earlier in the day, Biden needed guidance when he fumbled for a spot during a photo op with Kishida and their wives.
He could simply be suffering from jet lag. The president arrived in Hiroshima on Thursday, held separate meetings with U.S. troops and Kishida, and then headed to his hotel.

Just as some honest people are now stating that Feinstein cannot perform her job and in effect doing what they are doing to her for her vote is classic elder abuse, soon people with a brain will be saying the same about Biden. He is incapable of performing his job.
This is elder abuse. Jill should be jailed
“This is elder abuse. Jill should be jailed.”
She should’ve been jailed a long time ago. As an “educator” in DE she was mandated to report child abuse. She knew Joe was showering (and who knows what else) with his young daughter. She knew Hunter was doing his under-aged niece. She said nothing.
I can imagine that his PR staff is now making up the excuse which will be bought hook, line and sinker by the “press” - it will be jetlag, the man just can’t stop himself from getting into action when he needed to adjust and JUST LOOK AT GEORGE BUSH SR. WHEN HE GOT SICK AT THE BANQUET IN TOKYO AND THREW UP ON THE TABLE.
Imagine if that had happened to Gerald Ford.
A cane?
More like a walker.
Comedy in this country—having been canceled by the Woke Movement—is ripe for a comeback!
Nope - “comedians” don’t make fun of Democrats.
Any new vp has to be confirmed by simple majority of both houses. The house might be a problem right now.
