Joe Biden tripped over during a ceremony in Colorado this week and his bizarre shoes drew attention. The 80-year-old was handing out diplomas to graduates of the US Air Force Academy at the Falcon Stadium when he stumbled.
President Joe Biden joked to reporters about his tripping incident on Thursday, just minutes after bumping his head in yet another accident.
Biden had to be helped up by two Secret Service agents. The White House said a sandbag was on the stage.
Later in the day, Biden joked to members of the White House press pool, telling reporters, “I got sandbagged!” before performing a jig as he walked away.
According to press pool notes, however, Biden was involved in yet another accident just minutes before making the joke.
Following the landing of the president’s helicopter Marine One, Biden “bumped his head on the doorframe while exiting the helicopter but otherwise appeared spry,” said pool member Noah Robertson.
Biden has been involved in a lot of accidents and has been recorded either tripping or falling over many times before.
It was back in May that Biden tripped down a set of stairs during a visit to a shrine in Hiroshima, Japan, and in March 2021, he tripped while climbing the stairs of Air Force One. In June 2022, Biden also fell off of his bike in front of a group of reporters. On MSNBC’s The ReidOut, Thursday, host Joy Reid said Biden “just keeps delivering” on accusations that “he’s too old.”
What in the Sam Hill is on the bottoms of Biden’s shoes?
Is that some kind of lift or a foot stabilizer? pic.twitter.com/kN4HcHLNBo
