Again and again, President Joe Biden has publicly tripped while climbing the stairs into Air Force One’s passenger cabin.
In a video released Monday, Biden was seen avoiding walking up the normal stairs entering Air Force One.
Instead, the elderly Biden took a smaller and easier-to-manage set of stairs into the bottom of the plane, rather than climbing to the passenger cabin.
Critics pounced.
“Seems like he’s most comfortable in the basement,” one viewer said, referring to the time spent in Biden’s basement during the 2020 campaign. “Even in an airplane.”
Biden, 80, fell in March while climbing Air Force One’s stairs. In 2021, he went viral for falling on the stairs repeatedly, and a White House spokesperson blamed that fall on “pretty windy” weather.
He’s taken the smaller stairs in the past, although he seems to use those more for deplaning than for boarding.

The elderly Biden has become known for his frequent, dangerous falls. He tripped and fell over a sandbag in Colorado earlier this month. A White House representative described him as “fine.”
The presidential physician has diagnosed Biden with a stiffened gait and “mild peripheral neuropathy” in his feet. The physician reported the president’s condition as stable.
A senior, Biden has also been frequently embarrassed by confusion while in public. For example, Biden met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, and he accidentally put his hand over his heart while listening to another country’s national anthem.
“I am a gaffe machine,” Biden said on a book tour in 2018.
No fact-check needed!
