Biden appeared to rub his head after bumping it on the helicopter's doorframe while exiting the aircraft, according to a White House pool report:

From: Noah Robertson Date: June 1, 2023 at 7:13:01 PM EDT To: "Haru, Hiilei M. EOP/WHO" , Wranglers Subject: [EXTERNAL] WH In Town Report #3 Touchdown

M1 landed at 7:04 pm, and the president exited a few minutes later. He bumped his head on the doorframe while exiting the helicopter but otherwise appeared spry, wearing a blue suit with a matching tie and trademark aviators. Smiling, waving, and gingerly approaching the pool, he joked I got sandbagged in reference to the fall earlier today. Then he skipped once, holding his smile, and kept walking. No response to shouted questions about whether he was okay after the fall and what he and former President Obama discussed over the phone.

He smiled it off while walking toward reporters then said: "I got sandbagged," referencing his on-stage tumble hours earlier that sparked national headlines.

No thanks. They love to copy each other’s talking points.

This kinda scares me, but I'm sure somebody's getting excited.

“there is no way this man will make it to the 2024 race...

not the way he’s being handled.”

I expect he will fall into a sinkhole and never be heard from again. And no one will notice.

The words. “Joe Biden” and “President” should never be used in the same sentence. That being said, Was the helicopter hurt when Biden hit head on it?

Oddly enough, someone else here shared a 1975 end of year review from CBS News that showed lots of Gerald Ford falling down footage.

That Marine standing at attention is probably grateful Uncle Joe can’t read minds. You can just imagine what he’s thinking about our stumbling, bumbling, tumbling President. But he has to keep a Poker Face anyway.

In all seriousness, I've spoken to a few in the military who were on duty years ago at various times when prior presidents walked into the room. Without exception they say that when he walks in they don't see a corrupt politician who breaks his promises like the rest of us see. All the serviceman sees at that moment is Commander-in-Chief.

With Chevy Chase it was funny. But with The Big Guy it ain’t. But then I’ll bet that the Red Chinese think it’s funny...funny enough for them to step up their plans to invade Taiwan.

Stop it.
Ford was an excellent athlete. He was on the University of Michigan championship football team in 1932 & 1933. In 1934 he was MVP of the team. He was offered an NFL contract with both the Lions and the Packers after graduating. He declined and attended Yale Law school instead where also was a boxing coach.
He joined the Navy during WWII and became a Naval Aviator. He was so good at it they made him a flight instructor. he eventually served in the Pacific theater.
He continued to downhill ski even through his presidency.
However, an old football injury to his knee would occasionally give out making him fall. Chevy Chase on SNL made a career out of his impersonation of Ford being a bumbling fool. FU Chevy

I won’t be surprised if they watch the videos and find out who was laughing, and those folks will get a nice visit from the FBI.

If Trump had done this, the Left would have joked “Trumpty Dumpty had a hard fall”

Biden is old and fragile.
Ford was clumsy.
Ford was a real football player (U Michigan).
