Footage of Trump tripping up Air Force One stairs labeled 'karma' as people recall shocking comments he made about Biden

Trump had previously scolded his predecessor Joe Biden for doing the same thing

People have pointed out the irony of Donald Trump falling up the stairs to Air Force One after he previously mocked Joe Biden for doing the same thing.

Trump, who will be celebrating his 79th birthday in just a few days time, climbed aboard his presidential jet yesterday (June 8) alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the pair mad their way to Maryland's Camp David.

On his way up the stairs Trump took a tumble but quickly caught himself after doing so. He didn't look back afterwards and acted as if nothing happened.

Funnily enough Rubio followed suit and stumbled on the stairs as well.

While Trump tried to shrug the moment off, people online weren't letting it slide and pointed out that the president called out Biden for doing the same thing.

Speaking in 2023, the now-president said: "Joe Biden can't even walk up a flight of stairs on Air Force One and he can't put two sentences together. [...] We have somebody that doesn't have a clue representing us."

Fast forward two years and it's now Trump that's being mocked for the same thing.

"I'm surprised he hasn't replaced those stairs with a portable escalator of some kind," one person quipped on Twitter, as another penned: "When do they get the wheelchair for him? Someone ask Jake Tapper to find out."

"Time to get Old Man Trump fitted for a wheelchair," added a third.

Taking to Reddit, a different person penned: "He must 'step' down immediately…That was the bar for stepping down for Biden, right?"

Others came to Trump's defense though, and insisted that the minor stumble wasn't a big deal.

"I stumbled walking the stairs to a concert last night. Sh*t happens," someone said.

"That’s a steep climb for anyone," argued somebody else. "He recovered nicely. I give him an 8.5 for the recovery."

Echoing similar sentiments, a different Twitter user said that Trump took the fall 'like a champ'.

Arguably, the president has bigger fish to fry than a minor stumble amid the riots in Los Angeles and his very public fallout with Elon Musk.

Trump's feud has been playing out on social media for all of the world to see as the pair continue to take swipes at one another.

In one of the latest developments, Musk made a U-turn on his accusations about Trump being in the Jeffrey Epstein files and deleted his bombshell tweet.
