Let’s deal with it — when the President of the United States takes a tumble, it’s never exactly great PR. But somehow, it keeps occuring.

Joe Biden had his fair share of stumbles, and now it looks like Donald Trump isn’t
unaffected either. Naturally, the internet couldn’t resist pointing it out.

Joe Biden’s health has been a hot topic for quite some time — and it conclusively led him to pull back from his presidential campaign and hand things over to Kamala Harris.

His frequent falls didn’t exactly help relieve voters about his fitness for office.

 

According to NBC, Biden’s aides noticed that they had a terrible problem when the former president tripped hard over a sandbag at the Air Force Academy’s graduation ceremony. In a post-event recap, several aides tried to disocover what had gone wrong and how to make sure such a distressing — and potentially dangerous — incident would “never occur again.”

In the months that followed, his team appeared to make quiet concessions to his age, all in hopes of avoiding viral moments that might reinforce public warns about his ability to serve. One of those changes included having Biden apply the shorter set of stairs to board and disembark the presidential aircraft, rather than the traditional grand staircase used by his predecessors.

But allegedly, those Air Force One steps still have a tricky way of tripping people up.

Caught on video

On Sunday, June 8, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump sufferd a brief but highly visible stumble while boarding Air Force One, reigniting a wave of reactions online — and a flood of comparisons to his predecessor Joe Biden’s own negative moment last year.

The moment was recorded on video and shared by TMZ on Instagram, showing President Trump dressed in a dark suit, carefully climbing the stairs to the aircraft. His right hand gripped the railing for support, but suddenly his foot caught on a step, causing him to falter forward.

Quick to react, Trump extended his free hand to steady himself on a higher step, regained his balance, and went on climbing without missing a beat.

The clip, replayed in slow motion, recorded the stumble in all its suddenness—prompting a storm of responses on social media that ranged from humor to sharp irony.

One wrote, “Biden has a last laugh.”

”His Joe Biden moment”

Another added, “That’s his Joe Biden moment.” The word “karma” made several appearances, with one netizen anncouncing, “That’s called Karma Baby..” and another chiming in, “How the tables have turned 😂😂.” In a similar spirit, one observer said, “That’s what occurs when you laugh at others.”

But not all reactions were sarcastic. Some voices were quick to defend the president’s stumble as something anyone could experience.

One commenter added, “Apparently everyone making comments have never trip walking up stairs. Dont worry if you haven’t you will some day i promise you that [sic].” Another questioned the harsh judgment, asking, “Oh please [sic] are you serious? Have you never had a missed step?????”

In 2024, Biden, founding his signature aviators and a broad smile, was filmed saluting military personnel before ascending the steps. The 82-year-old former president, despite the short staircase, stumbled twice — his feet catching briefly on the steps — but managed to keep balance and reach the top safely.

Though minor in physical consequence, these stumbles carry huge symbolic meaning in today’s hyper-connected political climate. A single misstep, took on camera and endlessly replayed, becomes fuel for debate, comparison, and sometimes ridicule

Déjà vu: Trump stumbles on Air Force One, just like Biden Read More

In 2012, Australian DJs Mel Greig and Michael Christian played a practical joke by calling the hospital where Kate Middleton was receiving treatment, sh0cking the globe when nurse Jacintha Saldanha sadly committed sui:ci:de.

In order to obtain information about the Princess of Wales, who was receiving treatment for morning sickness while carrying Prince George at King Edward VII’s Hospital in London in December of that year, the two radio hosts, who were then employed at 2Day FM radio, posed as the late Queen Elizabeth and the then-Prince Charles.

Saldanha, a 46-year-old mother of two, forwarded the call to the ward where Kate was residing after being tricked by their prank call impressions into thinking they were the royals.

Sadly, after realising she had been fooled, the nurse took her own life.

According to The Times, in one of three notes written before taking her own life, Saldanha expressed how angry she was with the Australian radio presenters and blamed them for her suicide.

William’s letter

Later, Saldanha’s family shared what was in the letter William wrote to them on New Year’s Day 2013, after the devastating loss.

The Duke of Cambridge at the time spoke glowingly about the treatment Kate had gotten at that specific hospital.

“It is unbelievably sad and we both extend to and your family our deepest condolences,” he said.

“We have been thinking about Jacintha a lot lately and were both astonished to learn about her. She was praised by several of the nurses, and you are undoubtedly aware of her exceptional nursing skills.

William ended his letter by saying: “Jacintha and her colleagues looked after us extremely well and I am just so sorry that someone who cared for others so much found themselves in such a desperate situation.”

What became to Michael Christian and Mel Greig?

After the hoax call, which they claimed should have been handled by the broadcaster, Christian and Greig both experienced severe public outrage, death threats, and permanent harm to their reputations.

Christian chose to remain with Southern Cross Austereo (SCA), his employment at the time, but he said he was “made a scapegoat” and marginalized.

Additionally, he asserted that after the terrible repercussions of the prank call, he never got the supposedly promised assistance to rehabilitate his career.

After being laid off in February of this year, Christian has since sued SCA, claiming his redundancy was not real and requesting damages and compensation for lost wages.

But Greig made the decision to depart the station much sooner.

She openly apologized and said she was embarrassed she didn’t do more to prevent the prank from broadcasting after revealing in 2014 that she suffered from depression and that her mother had gotten death threats as a result of the affair.

Greig reiterated her compassion for the Saldanha family, said she understood Christian’s decision to suit, and called for changes in the way media firms support their employees.

Southern Cross Austereo has already been contacted by Tyla for comment.
