Donald Trump has reacted to a viral video of President Joe Biden freezing in a half-bent position during a ceremony on Thursday marking the 80th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France.
In the video, Biden is seen on stage with French president Emanuel Macron, who remains standing as Biden awkwardly bends down, as if to sit.
Biden then holds the squat position, before bobbing up and down slightly, apparently unable to decide if he will sit or stand.
As a voice on the loud speaker announces that US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is about to speak, First Lady Jill Biden raises her hand to cover her mouth, seemingly trying to whisper something to her husband. Macron's wife Brigitte looks over to Biden, appearing concerned.
As the ceremony concludes, Jill guides Joe off of stage. He appears to walk stiffly, gripping her hand tightly.
The clip has prompted wild speculation online, with some raising concerns about Biden's advancing age.
The President – who turns 82 in November – has been known to make publicly embarrassing gaffes at big events, including trips and falls.
Asked about his take on the video in a TikTok interview on Thursday, former President Trump said: 'He goes over to France and something happened and it's not good, I don't know what it is.'

LOL…A professional debunker on the AP staff.
We used to burn heavy fuel oil called “Bunker C” in power plants. When it was offloaded from the tankers to the power plant tanks, we were “debunking” it. That was REAL “debunking.”
LOl..yup.
Pretty sure he was just filling that adult diaper.
That scowl on his face the whole time
We are pretty close to “Weekend at Bernie’s”...The Goebblesk media can make it work.
We’d all have that same look if we were ate up with the dumbass and so full of shit we can’t hold it in.
There’s a lot to lay at the feet of Biden. Why make stuff up?
I said yesterday, filling his Depends. I recall my boys doing the when in diapers.
I saw Jill covering her mouth while telling him something in that video.
Can you translate that post into English?
“So, it’s not about his age, it’s about his mental fitness. The media and that party does this country a great disservice trying to cover it up.”
Nailed it.
He’s got just enough left in his brain to know he’s supposed to have some sort of appropriate expression on his face but he just can’t dial it in. So that scowl is what happens.
Peach
So Trump didn’t say what he thought happened.
I got to cut back on the fiber
😂 😂
Fake Dr Jill and the dog (w/toddler) have the same look on their faces....like, Oh, dear...I know what’s happening.
The dear Vet (on left, in Joe gif) looks shocked.
I’m dismayed that the overwhelming FR opinion is that he was pooping his pants. That’s just so juvenile. I believe he was confused, as usual, and did not know if it was appropriate for him to sit or stand, something a person with dementia, even in early stages, or someone not familiar with protocol, might do. As a retired RN, I have experience caring for patients with dementia in various stages, and yes, I have seen individuals stop in their tracks, squat down, and relieve themselves. I don’t believe he’s quite at that stage, yet, and even with as much contempt as I have for him, which is considerable, I’m not going to stoop to assigning behavior to him which is highly unlikely, at least at this stage.
I’ve been pretty dismayed with FR since the election and can only figure it’s part of separating the sheep from the goats and exposing hearts. We’re commanded to pray for our enemies, not curse them by casting aspersions/opinions as fact that just obfuscate, distract, divide and make ineffective in the real battle.
