President Biden, who was filmed tripping and falling while trying to board Air Force One on Friday, once mocked former President Donald Trump’s gait and ability to walk up and down ramps.
“Look at how he steps, and look how I step,” Biden said to reporters on the presidential campaign trail back in September. “Watch how I run up ramps, and he stumbles down ramps. OK?”

Trump was pilloried by Democrats in June of last year for walking gingerly down a ramp at West Point, with many questioning his physical and mental fitness.
“Serious question: what is going on with him?” MSNBC’s Joy Reid tweeted in response to a video of Trump walking slowly. “His supporters have tried so hard to get the media to question Joe Biden’s mental and physicsal fitness but they so often engage in projection it seems worth inquiring.”
