President Donald Trump experienced a humiliating Joe Biden moment this weekend, and it’s one that’s already going viral. While boarding Air Force One on Sunday, the President nearly took a nosedive on the exact same staircase he once mocked the former for struggling with.
It all happened at Morristown Municipal Airport in New Jersey as Donald Trump made his way to Camp David. Gripping the railing for support, he began his climb up the iconic Air Force One steps when it happened, according to TMZ. His left foot betrayed him.
President Trump stumbled hard, dropped to one hand to steady himself, and then quickly popped back up like nothing happened. But unfortunately for Donald, the cameras were there to capture every second. Now, Trump gets to relive the awkward moment on repeat right along with the rest of America (and the internet-loving world).
But here’s where the irony hits him where he lives. As most recall, Donald Trump ( and many more) spent years roasting Joe Biden for this exact kind of stumble. Remember the digs about Biden needing the “children’s stairs” to board Air Force One? Or how right-wing media turned every Biden trip into a headline frenzy? Well, the script just flipped for President Trump and hard according to the Huffington Post.
Donald Trump’s Joe Biden Mockery Comes Back To Trip Him Up
Of course, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are not the first to slip and slide on the steps of Air Force One. Back in the day, former leaders Barack Obama, Ronald Reagan, and even Gerald Ford all had their clumsy moments.
But when your brand is built on mocking someone else’s missteps, taking a tumble yourself hits a little harder, and for some, it lands a whole lot funnier. “And so it begins. Same chaos, different face. At this point, it’s starting to feel like we’re doomed no matter who’s calling the shots,” one commenter writes. “Can’t wait for all the memes and jokes to come rolling in on this one.”
Still, President Donald Trump didn’t let the moment slow him down. He kept it moving and went back to taking care of business as usual, as if the glitch in his day never even happened. Mr. Trump has a lot on his agenda. Whether it is running the country, taking on his former bestie Elon Musk in an X (formerly Twitter) war, or trying to decide which imprisoned celebrity he wants to pardon next.
To take care of his long agenda list, President Donald Trump must keep moving along at a speedy pace. So it is easy to see how he could lose his footing and stumble here and there. However, that said, was it just a harmless trip? Or a long-awaited dose of karma?
After years of clowning Biden’s every misstep, Donald Trump’s tumble feels like the ultimate full-circle moment for some. Poetic justice? Déjà vu? Maybe even a quiet little karmic payback for Biden. One thing’s for sure. It looks as if those Air Force One stairs don’t care who you are. But this time, they served Trump a slice of humble pie with a side of irony.
