CNN’s ‘Hard-Hitting’ Report: Is Donald Trump Afraid of Stairs?
Newsbusters ^ | March 22, 2017 | Randy Hall

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 seen clips of him walking up and down the stairs to and from Air Force One several times. Didn’t seem scared to me.

Maybe his knees hurt. He is over 70.

I was having a real knee issue. Started megadosing Vitamin D when the Dr found it was low...and knee problem pretty much cleared up.

Aw, c'mon Newsbusters, Jeanne Moos is known for quirky fluf pieces. Trump afraid of stairs would fall right into that category.

Sometimes we just have to

I started mega-dosing on Vitamin D this last year... I mistook suddenly FEELING GOOD as there being something wrong

The subject of stairs is not one they wish to revisit.

Years ago I made frequent visits to a vendor look at stuff they were making for me.

On one trip I went through the routine and missed the CEO. I enjoyed meeting with him.

I learned that the company had been sold and the CEO went to greet the new owner at the air port. His credit card and company car keys were surrendered and he was left stranded at the airport. He never set foot in his office again

LOL. More lunacy from CNN. I hope CNN has hired a lot of counselors to treat these morons prior to their going home for the day.

This coming from the same c*cks*ckers who deliberately and intentionally hid the fact that hillary stumbled while getting into her limo and that a secret service agent walked between her and the camera so we wouldn’t see.

A 70 year old with a brain is respectful of stairs.

For someone with a fear of stairs and slopes, he certainly faced them brilliantly when he waved to crowds of supporters as he glided down escalator in Trump Tower without holding the handrail. I think that was the day he announced his run for the presidency

Honestly, I could not have kept up with his pace during the election.
