Donald Trump talks about not tripping on stairs
Donald Trump recently spoke to CNBC’s Squawk Box host Joe Kernan and explained the reason why he walks down the stairs slowly after his Air Force One clip went viral.
Trump asserted that his falling down the stairs would become big news. Thus, he asserted, “I have to be careful because if I do trip or fall, it’s going to be the biggest story. That’s why when I get out of those planes, I walk nice and slowly. I’m not looking to set any speed records, but we had an embarrassing country. We had a country that was going to fail.” In the video, which went viral in March, Trump could be seen gripping the railing of Air Force One tightly to avoid taking a fall.
He took a dig at Joe Biden, referencing times when the former US President was caught tripping on the stairs of Air Force One. Trump stated, “We were a dead country. We had a guy that wasn’t respected. We had a country that was laughed at. He couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs, forget about down. He couldn’t walk up a flight, but he was falling all over the place.”
Previously, Trump had only lauded Biden’s predecessor for his skills walking down the stairs. According to OK Magazine, he said last month, “The only thing I admired about Barack Hussein Obama, which was nothing actually. But the only thing is the way he was bopping down the stairs.”
