President Biden, yet again, has tripped twice while boarding Air Force One — despite using a shorter, less challenging staircase.

The 81-year-old commander-in-chief managed to narrowly avoid a complete double tumble as he prepared to set off for Los Angeles on Tuesday.

Footage of the near-miss showed Biden saluting US military personnel at the bottom of the staircase before starting his climb at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. About halfway up, the president could be seen tripping slightly on a step.

Biden quickly gripped the railing to steady himself but immediately tripped on the following step, too.

Social media were quick to erupt in the wake of the latest near-tumble, with a number of conservatives questioning the prez’s health.

I am 80 and try to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. Mostly I do 12,000 steps a day and sometimes as high as 15,000. I also go up and down ladders. However, I am very careful when I do. To keep my mind active, I do 8 puzzles a day of various types including crossword.

Instead of short stairs, maybe he should be traveling by short bus.

“They could use a forklift to hoist him up but he’d figure out a way to fall off.”

How about launching him up with a big rubber band.

It wasn’t much of a trip, and I didn’t see two of them.

Has anyone noticed this weird attempt at a salute that he’s been doing?

It looked to me he truncated it because of his apprehension in having to go up the stairs because he immediately went from the "salute" to grabbing the handrail. As it turns out, it just shows he has good reason to be apprehensive. It looked to me like his legs were also a little shaky by the time he got to the top. If he keeps this up, he's going to end up taking a serious tumble.

Leftards were just fine having their elites steal the election and promote an old, semi-dementia puppet as president with his shadow government handlers (Obama’s team) run the nation into the ground.

Yeah, he’s not my President. Installed via election fraud and every move since then has been to damage the USA and empower globalists while turning his DOJ into political warfare.

Somehow MSNBC will convince their audience that this is all Trump’s fault.

Remind me about the old man who fell down the escalator for 45 minutes before he gathered himself up.

I was taught to never wish ill on anyone. But if Biden were to stumble at the top of the stairs, flip over backwards and cartwheel down the stairs, snapping his neck in the process, it would be very hard for me not to cheer that. My apologies to those who have more compassion that I do these days. What compassion I did have has been ripped from me by the leftists.
