CNN’s ‘Hard-Hitting’ Report: Is Donald Trump Afraid of Stairs?

Since CNN’s middle name is “News,” viewers of the weekday morning New Day program expect to catch up on the latest headlines and watch in-depth investigations on the topics of the day. That wasn’t quite the case on Wednesday, when the final segment of the program was devoted to a “hard-hitting” report on whether President Donald Trump is afraid of stairs.

The two-minute segment by Jeanne Moos, the network’s national correspondent, focused on several British newspapers that claim the GOP occupant of the White House has “bathmophobia,” the fear of stairs and slopes.

“’ScareCase’ chortled one British paper back when President Trump took Prime Minister [Theresa] May’s hand as they navigated their way up at the White House,” Moos stated before claiming that British government sources told the press that the president’s rare condition might cause sufferers to panic at the mere sight of a flight of stairs.

She asserted that the fear doesn’t just affect the president before showing a clip of President George W. Bush “nudging Barney,” his pet Scottish Terrier, up the ramp of stairs onto Air Force One.

I’ve worked several places where if you didn’t use the handrail as you went down the stairs you got a safety violation and the second time, a week off without pay and Contractors were out the door on a second safety violation.

"The two-minute segment by Jeanne Moos..."

Moos is a moron. I remember she was at a press conference George H. W. Bush was holding with a foreign leader. Moos was picked to ask a question, and she chose to ask Bush about rumors of him having an affair. President Bush simply replied, that he couldn't believe that she would even ask a question like that in a press conference of that nature. Then he said that he wouldn't consider lowering himself to answer the question.

The word at the time was that she was removed from covering the White House.
