Trump Stumbles on Air Force One, Internet Reacts
Former US President Donald Trump experienced a stumble while ascending the stairs of Air Force One. The incident quickly spread online, drawing considerable attention and reaction.
The Incident and Reactions
The stumble occurred as Trump was boarding Air Force One en route to Camp David, following a conversation with reporters in Hagerstown, Maryland. Social media users and commentators didn't hesitate to draw comparisons to past instances where Trump had criticized President Joe Biden for similar missteps.
Political commentator Ron Filipkowski quipped, "Time to get Old Man Trump fitted for a wheelchair," while others made similar jokes about the incident.
Trump's Response to Protests
The incident happened shortly after Trump addressed the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act to respond to escalating protests in Los Angeles. He stated that troop deployment would depend on whether an insurrection was occurring and asserted his commitment to preventing the country from being "torn apart."
Trump, who had previously criticized Biden for falls, had once called Biden's 2023 fall at a graduation event "not inspiring."
