US President Joe Biden tripped and fell on stage during the Air Force Academy graduation ceremony in Colorado Springs on Thursday. The video of the President’s fall went viral.
Joe Biden just had a really bad fall at the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation. Falling like this at his age is very serious. Democrats want us to trust him to be the President until Jan, 2029. If we’re being real we all know that’s insane. He’s in no condition to run. pic.twitter.com/wacE0bojb9

Biden, 80, had just finished handing out diplomas and began to walk off stage when he stumbled and dropped to his knees. He was quickly helped back to his feet by Secret Service agents and an Air Force officer, reported ABC News.
He walked away unassisted. White House communications director Ben LaBolt downplayed the incident as he took to Twitter, saying the president was uninjured and blaming the fall on an errant sandbag.
“He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands,” said LaBolt.
Biden recently stumbled at the G7 Summit in Japan but caught himself, while hurrying down a small set of stairs at the Itsukushima Shrine in Hiroshima.
At 80, Biden is already the oldest sitting president in history and is seeking a second term.
