HAVE A NICE TRIP
The moment recalled a similar coordination fumble made by former president Joe Biden.

The pressures of the presidency and a very public feud with former “First Buddy” Elon Musk appear to be tripping up Donald Trump.

The MAGA president was captured by C-Span tripping up the stairs to Air Force One on Sunday en route to Camp David, where he will meet “a lot of people, including generals...

Trump stumbles on the stairs.

No comment from Tapper yet. Is this, too, “worse than Watergate?”

Well, it is fair to say, that Trump ages, the falls get more frequent.

that he has a weird way of dragging his left leg. His gait is very awkward, but then again he's not even half as fit as our beloved President Biden is.

I really would love to see him do a face plant on the stairs.

He won't be here for long but while he is he plans to bankrupt, destroy and kill every rational thinking American.

He is a SADIST! He is GREEDY!!! He is INSANE!!! We must destroy him NOW and PERMANENTLY!!! Every single day our country is being destroyed by this lunatic. Where the hell is the Mafia or CIA when you need them?!?!?!?

When he reaches the top of the stairs he turns around and raises a clinched fist. I remember back in the late 60s and early 70s that was the Black Power Salute that caused conservatives to shit in their pants.

Why was President TACO giving the Black Power Salute?

for betraying him. Oh, well, at least the stairs tried.

He has something wrong with his right leg. I'm guessing that's why he was hugging the rail on the right. But, he dragged his left toe, and it took a shot at him. It collaborated with the stair, but neither prevailed.

From our TVs, from our news reports both written and broadcast, from our ANYTHING that he believes compels him to make public comments about it.

I worked in professional broadcasting for 20 years, after four years at my college station. To this day I have yet to see a camera whore or mic hog as big OR relentless as he is.

Can’t wait til we’re all finally rid of him.

To tell us 24/7 how old and weak Trump is looking and how "some are saying" he's not fit to govern? Jake, isn't this the biggest crisis since Watergate?
