White House says Biden is fine after tripping on sandbag and falling on stage at Air Force Academy commencement
CNN ^ | June 1, 2023 | Kevin Liptak, CNN

President Joe Biden tripped on a sandbag and fell as he completed handing out diplomas at the US Air Force Academy commencement in Colorado on Thursday.

Biden appeared fine afterward, walking without assistance to his seat in the stands. He was seen smiling and jogging toward his vehicle at the ceremony’s conclusion.

The White House said the president was fine after the fall and he later joked about it, yelling “I got sandbagged!” to reporters after stepping off Marine One Thursday evening.

The stumble began as Biden was jogging away from center stage, where he earlier delivered a commencement address to the academy’s graduates. He spent more than 90 minutes handing out diplomas and congratulating hundreds of cadets.

Of course he’s ok.

“The stumble began as Biden was jogging away from center stage.”

LOL what a bunch of BS. He literally took one step and face planted. There was no “jogging.” CNN is so full of crap.

“...as Biden was jogging...”

Ha - “jogging”. That said, they should know by now not to have stuff like that laying around. Could have used some hardware and a few screws to hold the barrier in place.

Anybody with older people knows the drill. This is elder abuse!

(Hmm - what is it called when the old guy abuses the rest of the country?)

so how come a guy followed in his footsteps, without even watching where he was walking, and had no problem?

He jogged one step and tripped over the sandbag.Lol. The guy is a complete embarrassment. He looked back and pointed at the sandbag as if he was trying to blame it for his stupidity.

I must admit, the sandbag really shouldn’t be right there. I can totally see how he tripped if it appears as the photo shows.

Must be great when the media is always defending you.

After tripping on a stationary sandbag, Joe Biden is just fine. I mean, he’s still a senile pedophile, but he is otherwise doing great.

Just like the media hid FDR’s wheelchair and leg braces for twelve years. They didn’t want to show his weakness from polio.

Uninjured perhaps but he’s far from fine.

How do you miss a sandbag on a clear sunny day?

Sung to the tune of “Do the Hustle” ... “Do the Shuf-fle!”

Can't wait to see the "Saturday Night Live" send-up of Biden highlighting his clumsiness!

Chevy Chase made a cottage industry out of mocking President Ford's alleged clumsiness - Biden's "mishaps" have been far more frequent and more embarrassing, so I'm sure that the good folks at SNL will give Biden's physical ineptitude all the attention and mockery it deserves, right?

Ri-ight?

Actually, I'm more concerned about the sandbag.

How's it doing?
