President Donald Trump tried to dunk on his predecessor Joe Biden on Tuesday as he weirdly puffed up his stair-climbing abilities throughout a reside interview with CNBC.
Trump, fueled by host Joe Kernen’s mere point out of Saudi Arabia, made a weird pivot to speak of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman giving him his “famous line” in regards to the U.S. now not being a “dead country” earlier than suggesting that America was a laughing inventory underneath Biden.
“He couldn’t walk up a flight of stairs. Forget about down, he couldn’t walk up a flight,” stated Trump of Biden in a probable nod to a viral 2021 video exhibiting his predecessor tripping a number of occasions on the boarding stairs to Air Force One.
Trump continued, “He was falling all over the place. I have to be careful because if I do trip or fall, it’s going to be the biggest — that’s why when I get out of those planes, I walk nice and slowly. I’m not looking to set any speed records.”
While Trump tried to speak up his skill to ascend steps, he uncared for to say that he, too, has discovered the boarding stairs to Air Force One.
The president misstepped on his means as much as the airplane earlier than regaining his steadiness with the assistance of a railing, in an embarrassing second caught on digital camera in June 2025. (Check out Trump’s pre-flight flub within the clip beneath.)

In March 2025, Trump tripped on his means up the steps to Marine One after serving to Elon Musk’s son, X Æ A-Xii, board the chopper.
Trump has just lately fixated on his predecessors’ stair-maneuvering talents.
Last month, Trump — in a speech the place he bragged about strolling down “soaking wet” metal stairs — claimed he admired how Barack Obama “bobbed down” the steps throughout his time within the Oval Office.
“You talk about unpresidential,” stated Trump to a crowd in Hebron, Kentucky.
“He’s bob — and I couldn’t believe that he made it without at least a noticeable major fall.”
