White House Blames Wind for Biden Fall on Air Force One Steps
White House Blames Wind for Biden Fall on Air Force One Steps
New footage has shown the painfully awkward moment President Biden fell 3 times up the stairs of Air Force One yesterday.
And now, the White House themselves have spoken out - blaming wind for President Biden's relentless stumble which has seen him subjected to countless memes.
Scroll on to see for yourselves...
Now, President Biden has thrown himself into his new role with gusto.
Months after his move to the White House, the newly-elected president has been busy dismantling a whole array of controversial Trump-era regulations.
For example...
Mere hours after his inauguration ceremony, Biden fulfilled one of his top campaign promises by pledging to put the U.S. back in the Paris Agreement on climate change - an international pact aimed at curbing emissions that cause global warming.
Trump famously withdrew from the agreement in 2017, citing costs to American taxpayers.
And as for the country's ongoing racial division?
Well, Biden has already got to work on putting the pieces back together.
He first signed an executive order to promote racial equity.
Biden ordered his government to conduct equity assessments of its agencies and reallocate resources to "advance equity for all, including people of color and others who have been historically underserved, marginalized and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality."
He then reversed Trump's infamous ban on U.S. entry from majority-Muslim countries.
Biden's proclamation reversed Trump's policy that barred entry to the U.S. for refugees and residents from 7 predominantly Muslim countries and orders plans within forty-five days for resuming visa processing.
But, despite all his hard work...
Biden has made a few mistakes along the way...
He recently laid into Vladimir Putin, escalating the already tense relationship between the countries.
Biden was asked if he believed the Russian president was a killer to which he responded "I do."
Following the comment, Russia recalled its ambassador from the US.
And demanded an apology.
And now, he's slipped up again.
Literally.
The president was seen today falling 3 separate times as he climbed the steps of Air Force One...
And, as you'd expect, the footage has spread like wildfire online.
Ladies and Gentleman the President of the United States... this is just sad
