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.

I guess he was jogging up the stairs to Air Force One when he fell up the steps a couple of times. I guess he was jogging down those stairs in Japan a few weeks ago when he stumbled down the steps and almost fell into the Japanese Prime Minister.

Correction, I think he actually tripped on the teleprompter wire, and the sandbag was there to prevent normal people from tripping on the wire. If you look carefully, the wire is hanging differently after Brandon got done with it. The wire should have been taped down.

President Joe Biden tripped on a sandbag and fell

The question is, why was Bernie Sanders laying on the floor?

There’s a reason we rarely see the POTATUS’s feet while he’s walking...

And what was with the heels of his footwear??

Inquiring minds want to know...

“I can totally see how he tripped if it appears as the photo shows.”

I agree.

You left out that he was getting ready to jog as part of a triathlon he was doing when he fell off his bike in Delaware.

For quite some time I have noticed Gropin' Joe acting and moving more and more like my dad did as he declined. The odd, stiff gait; the confusion about which way to go; the inability to navigate over or around things large and small; the weird agitated outbursts, etc...

Since he is nothing but a humanoid auto-pen for people pulling his strings, he could be as trashed as Feinstein or Fetterman and still be of use, but the Ministry of Propaganda once again assures the lemmings that The Big Guy is up to a short jog. If he is this bad with all the resources of the world made available to him, what would he be like if he were just another peon like the rest of us? Probably at some pricey God's Waiting Room with staff pretty damn tired of being sniffed and/or pawed.

As an aside, I don't know which speechifying Gropin' Joe I find more repulsive- the shouting, fist-waving, ranting Joe Biden of yesterday, or the faux-whispering, leaning towards the microphone and making threats Joe Biden. They both suck.

“Pointed at the sandbag as if he was trying to blame it for his stupidity.”

MAGA sandbag. .

This little “jogging” stint is getting old, but not as old as Traitor Joe. His handlers came up with this little charade way back when he was first running. Somehow they figured if he bent his elbows and did a couple of fast steps it would appear that he was a real go-getter, a busy little beaver who had so much to accomplish that he couldn’t waste any time by walking. It was a joke then and it still is - it was only to visually mitigate the fact that he’s an old, senile criminal.

The locals in Delaware now refer to that location as "Brandon Falls."

I agree. I was watching Real America’s Voice and they showed a close-up of the video w/the sandbag. It did look like he got his foot caught on something.

Who put that sand bag on the stage?

Whoever it was, it was a career-ending decision...

If this were Trump, any guesses on whether CNN would be blaming the sandbag?
