Seems to me he is pointing at what caused his brief fall.

Humor not your strong point then.

Bet you get invited to all the good parties.

Obviously he is too old to do this job. There are many videos where he is completely confused. But he doesn't get the message. He wants to be president and the US voters say that he is the best for this job. Unbelievable but true. And then Trump. How many more scandals does he need to create before the US voters start to think?! What a strange country...

Obviously you have never tripped and fell. I know I could never be president only because I have tripped and fall many times. As to his mental acuity please enjoy the video below. And he can actually spell , unlike your guy .

You see? there is the problem.

Oh boy.

We'll be seeing this fall a gazillion times in republican campaign ads.

Ain't democracy grand?

Been listening to a few speeches by JFK recently, the comparison between him and Biden is shocking. The 46th president is really not up to the job is he, can't see him being allowed to run again, they already stopped debates with opponents who want to challenge him. Bobby Kennedy's son is running is he not?

It's beyond embarrassing now. How can this guy lead the US? Stumbling around, falling down, claiming his son who died of brain cancer died in Iraq. It's ridiculous.

It's completely undemocratic to have someone like this in a position of power. No wonder the US is in such a mess.

Don't forget Hunter.

If this were a one-off then let it go. Sadly, it is not.  He has fallen/nearly fallen on numerous occasions, the latest in Japan at the G7 meeting.  If you take a minute to see his gait when he is walking, it is extremely unsteady. He holds his hands stiff and a bit ahead of his body, as if his balance is perpetually a bit off.  He almost teeters rather than walks. 

Let the poor man retire already and enjoy his grandkids. 

Yes....he needs more time to sniff his grandkids' hair.

The withdrawal from Afghanistan was put in motion by Trump, nobody cares about it anymore.

 

Southern border crossings are down, Mexico never paid one red cent and Bannon is facing prison again.

Sadly that does seem to be the case.

 

There are younger "rising stars" amongst the Democrats  (AOC? That should get a number foaming at the mouth!) But they are not going to be in the zone for President for a couple of decades, by which time, what is left of the USA will probably resemble the dystopian scenes from the opening footage of "Blade Runner"!

I think a lot of people care about Biden screwing up Trumps plan for partisan reasons, of course the dead he caused cannot say anything. So the border crossings by illegals are down from thousands a week to a few hundred, and that's a success, should have finished the wall

US President Joe Biden tripped and fell while handing out diplomas at a graduation ceremony for the US Air Force Academy in Colorado on Thursday.

Mr Biden, who is the nation's oldest serving president at 80, was seen being helped up by Air Force officials and walking back to his seat unassisted.

The president had been standing for about an hour and half to shake hands with each of the 921 graduating cadets.

The White House communications director said "he's fine".

"There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands," Ben LaBolt wrote on Twitter.

pesky sandbag.. highest grade security but hey they missed a sandbag right in the way:)

Nope, the majority of Democrats wish someone else would run. It's the same damned garbage, we HAVE to vote for him cuz the alternative is so much worse.

what does he need a teleprompter for. Is he mentally unable to speak without one? Looks a proper cognitive mess to me.

C'mon, they all use teleprompters. You should know that by now.

my point was why does Biden need a teleprompter when he says a very basic dozen words if that at a public event. Trump riffed on stage for hours, his monologues were off the top of his head packed with jokes and off the cuff comments- he probably needed some bullet points on a screen to riff around. There is just no comparison whatsoever, although yes the left DID falsely claim without evidence that Trump had dementia although now you would need to be a licenced medical practitioner to make such a statement about biden even though this is the what 3rd or 4th time he fell now?

It is a consistent point of comedians how insanely former 45 goes off track. He, of ALL people, needs a teleprompter to stay even remotely on track.

[Purdey]

Who hasn't tripped in life? Even young people trip. Does catching your foot in a cable or loose pavement tile mean you are incompetent? Next we will hear that tripping, or any physical handicap, makes one unfit to lead.

Fell up the plane - three times.

Fell off his bike.

Fell over on the stage.

 

If this is truly the best man America has to off, then all the axis of evil must must be laughing at the falling (literally) empire of America.

Also the bike thing deserves context that he rides bikes! How many men his age do?

I'm sure there will be multiple more falls to choose from before the campaign ads are finalized. Even when he doesn't fall he looks like he's about to. He reminds me of one of those walking robot toys from the 80's that never worked properly and kept toppling over every 4 or 5 steps.

 

But I can certainly agree that having someone so clearly suffering from the effects of old age in such a position is terrible for Democracy. If Biden and Trump are the best the US has to offer, it's an all time low for American politics.

Unfortunately they are. Just look at the alternatives. Like the UK there is a complete dearth of any real political leaders capable of undertaking the fundamental changes needed. Absolutely no-one around of any real calibre whatsoever. 

 

But in the end that is a reflection of the electorate. That's the best they can come up with. It's who THEY are.

I did not lift my foot high enough a couple of weeks ago going up the steps. Stuff happens ... no signs of dementia as yet.

Far from the first national political figure to stumble in public. But walking up the stairs with a trail of tissue paper stuck on your feet will be an one-off.

Sarcasm I am guessing.  People trip and fall daily, or even just trip but recover.  As we all get older it does become an issue, but does not indicate we have lost our mental faculties.  Seems he made a good recovery after his minor incident and continued onward finishing out the ceremony.

 

https://rollcall.com/2023/06/01/biden-falls-at-graduation-but-gets-back-up-and-finishes-ceremony/

 

After being helped up, Biden pointed at an object on the stage and appeared to indicate he tripped on it. A reporter traveling with Biden sent a dispatch indicated the object was a sandbag. The reporter said the president stood until the ceremony ended a few minutes later.

.......

Biden is not the first senior U.S. official to take a tumble this year, after Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell tripped and fell at a fundraising event in Washington, D.C. The Kentucky Republican, 81, missed several weeks of Senate work after suffering a concussion and injuring his ribs.

I didn't see snow in the forecast.
