President Biden nearly suffered another embarrassing fall Wednesday after navigating the short stairs on Air Force One ahead of his campaign trip to Wisconsin.
Biden, 81, managed to mount the steps without issue, but noticeably wobbled before lurching for the nearest railing to stabilize himself after turning around to wave and salute before entering the cabin of the presidential aircraft.
Video footage captured the ordeal at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland ahead of Biden’s trek to Racine County, Wis., where he was to tout a $3.3 billion investment from Microsoft in a new artificial intelligence data center.

Maybe the Biden Administration should make Up a Reason for Joe being Wheelchair Bound from Now on just to try and Fool the Public into being Sympathetic to the Pretender in Chief . Hey , it Worked for FDR .

He's running for President. So he probably won't be staying home.

I keep saying that I don't know if it will be Trump vs Biden in November.
Trump has jail to avoid.
And I don't know if Biden can actually make it until November. I really don't.

Um, no.

I would agree though. Being out on the road does take a lot out of you. Not like sitting in a chair all day in court listening to a porn star talk about your dirty secrets.

Biden underwent his annual physical exam in February of this year. Unlike Trump's medical reports written by quack doctors who basically just say whatever Trump pays them to say, Biden's report was written by the President's official physician [Kevin O'Connor] backed by a team of consultants.
You can read the full report here:
www.whitehouse.gov...
The part that's relevant to this discussion is:
“The president’s gait appears to be perceptibly stiffer and less fluid than it has been in the past,” O’Connor wrote in November 2021, noting that Biden said he experiences early morning stiffness that improves through the day.
“As previously reported, he [Biden] has sustained a number of orthopedic and sports related injuries over the years, and is followed by physical therapy for ongoing wellness and fitness exercises prescription,”...... “It is also well known that approximately a year ago, he sustained a fracture in his right midfoot, which could certainly contribute to a gait abnormality.”
..... O’Connor wrote that while Biden’s gait remains stiff, it hasn’t “worsened since last year.”
Symptoms from the peripheral neuropathy have not progressed and his exam during Thursday’s physical was “a bit improved,” according to O’Connor."
Basically, he's got spinal arthritis (also known as Spondylosis) and mild peripheral neuropathy of the feet. These conditions mean that he doesn't move as accurately or quickly on his feet as he used to. These conditions are extremely common in old men and women. I started developing the same conditions about 4 years ago and I am about 6 months younger than Trump. That's why I suspect that Trump probably started developing the same conditions after he left office--especially because he was obese--but is hiding it. He has some difficulties with his walking gait also.
This has nothing to do with mental fitness, one way or another.
