President Joe Biden tripped while boarding Air Force One after a two-day NATO summit in Lithuania with world leaders.
80-year-old Biden used the smaller 14-step staircase to board Air Force One by entering through the belly of the plane. This didn’t prevent Biden from avoiding a misstep.
Biden appears to brace himself for impact before recovering his balance. WATCH:
“President Biden once again stumbled walking up the steps to board Air Force One on Thursday, despite using a less challenging, shorter staircase to get on the aircraft,” the New York Post wrote.
“Biden turned and waved to onlookers at Helsinki-Vantaan International Airport as Air Force One prepared to depart for Joint Base Andrews after the president’s visit with Nordic leaders following a two-day NATO summit in Lithuania,” the report added.
The NATO summit was held in Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, and was attended by leaders from all 30 NATO member states, including Biden. The main focus of the summit was the war in Ukraine. Biden and other leaders pledged to continue providing military and financial assistance to Ukraine, and they condemned Russia’s invasion. They also discussed ways to deter Russia from further aggression.
In a speech to the Lithuanian people, Biden reaffirmed the US commitment to NATO. He said that the alliance would “never waver” in its support for its members, and he warned Russia that any attack on NATO territory would be met with “severe consequences.”
Biden also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the summit. The two leaders discussed the ongoing war, and they agreed on the need to continue providing military and financial assistance to Ukraine.
The NATO summit in Lithuania was intended to show the strength and unity of the alliance in the face of Russian aggression. Biden intended to signal that the US remains committed to NATO and opposed to aggression from Russia.
During its media coverage, liberal MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed Biden was “very sharp” and “on top of everything.” It appears that the liberal media is desperately hoping to spin a false narrative about Biden’s mental acuity. WATCH:
JOE SCARBOROUGH: "The President is very sharp…Some NATO leaders have told me they were very surprised…because he's so sharp and he's on top of everything."

The president began using the shorter set of stairs to board Air Force One after taking a hard fall at the graduation ceremony of the Air Force Academy in Colorado. A recent poll from NBC found that the majority of Americans (68%) believe Biden does not have the mental and physical health to serve as president.
The poll also found that a staggering 43 percent of Democrats believe Biden is not mentally and physically healthy to serve as president. This concern among Democrats has doubled since 2020. Prior to 2020, just one in five Democrats were concerned about Biden’s mental acuity.
NBC found that 89% of Republicans agree that Biden does not have the cognitive or physicial abilities to be president.
