Biden Falls at Air Force Academy’s Commencement in Colorado

President Joe Biden fell on stage after delivering remarks at the US Air Force Academy commencement.

Biden, 80, tripped and fell to the ground after handing a diploma to the last of roughly 900 cadets to cross the stage. He appeared to gesture to a nearby sandbag after taking the tumble, indicating that he tripped.

Secret Service and military personnel immediately helped Biden to his feet and he returned to his seat. The White House said Biden did not suffer any injuries.

The president was on stage for more than 90 minutes handing out diplomas and shaking hands with academy graduates following his commencement speech. The Air Force Academy is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, at a site that sits 7,258 feet above sea level, according to the Air Force.

That audio is all you have to know about Biden's approval rating

[codysnellstrom]

[RobertMclean-wjyg]

It’s not that he trips and falls. It’s that he can’t get up on his own.

[ervinreyes]

He is literally doing a representation of the us.

[mattboyko]

[jaturungkabart]

His falls are definitely the funniest thing. Its his fails that are beyond criminaly corrupt. He should be tried and sentenced for treason.

[MrBrewman]

Kamala was like, "So close!!!" 😂

[maceomaceo]

Remember when Trump walked slowly down a slippery walk way? Remember the weeks of "cognitive abilities" talk in the legacy media afterwards?
This dementia sufferer has gaffs daily and not a peep about it.
Crickets about these constant signs of mental and physical decline from Brandon. I'm sure it's not a political choice by the media though....

[vrokhlenko]

Running for office. Walking for office. The latest: crawling for office

[dylans]

Biden, "You just watch me" we are and you shouldn't be allowed to run

[brianlopina]

Why do we accept having a president that’s older than the average life expectancy?!

This is just sad on so many levels

The National Embarrassment on stage for the world to see 🤦‍♂️

[TheDenbagususa]

Nobody is concerned because of what he did to our economy, our energy and gas price, and the nonexistence of border protection against invasion. He is basically, a cruel human being who doesn't know how to govern. However some woke are still voting for him and it boggles my mind, what kind of education these woke people had during their younger years.

Where’s the damn Secret Service I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.
