Seems like we'll see a "Trump afraid to trip on the steps" headline every time he waddles up & down Air Force One [View all]

I GET the "I don't want to fall" thing. We have cats. A couple of them have the excruciatingly annoying habit of getting underfoot in the kitchen. I would never want to accidentally step on them but what I'd like even less was for me to spin around and land on my ass on the floor because of one of them.

PROBLEM IS that TRUMP doesn't want to "trip" because Joe Biden "tripped" and Trump MUST ALWAYS BE SEEN AS "STRONGER" THAN BIDEN.

This is Fred Trump, speaking to his son from the bowels of Hell.

IF TRUMP TRIPPED, the Botoxed Baghdad Betty in his employ would probably say he was "testing the steps for safety" and "pretended to trip" to see what would happen if someone actually DID trip.

It's the reason WHY he is SO AFRAID of it. Joe Biden is still living rent free in his sick and twisted head.

DOUBLE GRIP
The president has said he is extra cautious on stairs to avoid tripping like his predecessor.
