Tripping while running up the stairs to Air Force One is embarrassing. Tripping while running the response to COVID is deadly. I would argue the latter story should be a bigger headline.

1. Who tripped?

3. Joe boarding AF1 on his way to Atlanta.

6. Figured, haven't heard yet. Big deal, or simply a trip and moving on? Not that I care cause

totally insignificant and these people gotta quit running steps. We are old. Lol, be a little more respectful of those stairs. I tease, kind of.

Thanks.

9. He tripped 3 times, so expect the RWNJ's to screech.

But this is a great frame to combat the garbage they'll spew.

[LizBeth]

13. Thanks for the info. He needs to walk. Nothing wrong with that and he does not need to prove to

anyone he is fit. For his 78? he is great.

14. I know it - and he just got over the broken foot! n/t

[LizBeth]

15. True that. And having twisted a couple ankles more than once, they are weakened and I have to

be particularly careful with stairs.

17. I'm sitting here right now with my right ankle in the air

On 1/25 I slipped and fell; my foot went one direction and my leg went the other, at the ankle. I have a tibia and fibula break with a dislocation, which means the bones were offset. My fib was sitting on my ankle. Not an open fracture, thank the gods. Now I have two plates and eight screws, and I just Tuesday got the okay to start putting my foot on the floor without using it. Since my surgery I've been largely immobile and keeping my foot up as my doctor said "with the tip of my toes above the top of my nose."
Fun times.

19. Oh, that just sounds horrible. I am so sorry for you. Bummer that.

Twice in spring and then again abut Aug I 2was looking all over not paying attention and stepped of a couple inch curb taking me down. Between a scraped knee, wearing shorts and the ankle and walking d0og home after laying on ground moaning, I hear you. I hit both ankles and the opposite scaping knee both times. A mess. I try to pay attenion but I live in pure beauty and am sucking it in all the time on my walks. I gotta buy an ankle wrap for the next time. Butt it up the stairs, lol.

I am sorry. Hard heal. And the pain.

21. Thanks! n/t

2. exactly

He always has the right words.

4. We can always trust the U.S. media to get their priorities back asswards.

[soothsayer]

5. "Oops. Tripped over a big stack of accomplishments."

One comment I liked somewhere said.

[ms liberty]

10. I love this, and I'll use it! n/t

[soothsayer]

11. Yay!

7. Trump didn't trip...

he fell flat on his ugly face.

[Treefrog]

8. Someone should just post the pic of the former guy with the toilet paper on his shoe.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. That pic really defines the Trump Presidency.

His back turned, unaware ,, and perhaps aides were trying to thow paper towels or tissues on the ground to get shit he stepped in, off his shoes.

16. Rather is 89, and one of the best people to follow on Twitter

That’s pretty amazing, I think.

[Gaugamela]

18. It looked to me like he was wearing slippery shoes. He was running up the steps and

his shoes kept slipping. Trump could barely walk down a ramp at West Point.

[locks]

20. He fell a couple times

going up the steps. He had surgery on his foot recently but was walking and standing for a long time in Atlanta.

22. Dan nails it!
