President Donald Trump stumbled while walking up the steps of Air Force One in New Jersey on Sunday, shortly after heavy rainstorms swept through the Bedminster area. The video quickly went viral on social media, with many comparing it to similar moments involving former President Joe Biden.
One person wrote, “Donald Trump just tripped on the stairs of Airforce One and almost fell on his face! Where’s Jake Tapper and all the media who used to tell us every time Biden lost a step?”
Another added, “Trump stumbles while boarding Air Force One. Joe Biden vibes or maybe characteristics of body double.”
A third person commented, “Donald Trump stumbles over the same set of steps that Joe Biden used to step over. By MAGA's rules, Trump should resign the presidency immediately.”

Joe Biden's Air Force One Stumbles
During his presidency, Joe Biden tripped multiple times while boarding Air Force One. In one incident from February 2024, he stumbled twice while preparing to fly to Los Angeles. Video footage showed him saluting U.S. military personnel at the base of the stairs at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland. As he climbed, he tripped midway, grabbed the railing to steady himself. He stumbled again on the next step before continuing up.
In February 2023, Biden also stumbled while boarding Air Force One after a three-day trip through Eastern Europe marking the anniversary of the Russia-Ukraine war. The incident occurred at Chopin Airport in Warsaw, Poland. He quickly regained his balance, continued up the stairs, and waved goodbye before entering the aircraft.
