White House says Biden is fine after tripping on sandbag and falling on stage at Air Force Academy commencement
CNN ^ | June 1, 2023 | Kevin Liptak, CNN

President Joe Biden tripped on a sandbag and fell as he completed handing out diplomas at the US Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado on Thursday.

Biden appeared fine afterward, walking without assistance to his seat in the stands. He was seen smiling and jogging toward his vehicle at the ceremony’s conclusion.

The White House said the president was fine after the fall and he later joked about it, yelling “I got sandbagged!” to reporters after stepping off Marine One Thursday evening.

The stumble began as Biden was jogging away from center stage, where he earlier delivered a commencement address to the academy’s graduates. He spent more than 90 minutes handing out diplomas and congratulating hundreds of cadets.

7100’ altitude and lower oxygen level didn’t help, either.

“He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands,” communications director Ben LaBolt wrote on Twitter.

Sometime in the future, he’ll be on stage somewhere with Hillary Clinton and he will fall on his face. The communications director will write “He’s fine. There was an old bag on stage while he was shaking hands”.

What a puff piece! This whole article is designed to make it sound like Biden is the picture of health, jogging, handing out hundreds of diplomas, etc. Meanwhile Trump stubs his toe and everyone goes crazy!

Even a sandbag is opposed to Biden.

Mr. President, you’re the president of the United States. Quit “jogging” when walking short distances. Act like you have at least some interest in decorum. You’re as clumsy as a 5 year old.

Biden was probably just in too much of a hurry to go teach his Kung Fu class.

The way the dynamics worked, this was more a case of the sand bag having been Joe Bidened.

I must admit, the sandbag really shouldn’t be right there.

It was a windy day, the sandbag was adding weight to the teleprompter stand to keep it from blowing over. Brandon tripped because he wasn't watching what he was doing, in other words, he was in his usual daze.
