Former President Donald Trump had a viral moment Sunday that felt straight out of Joe Biden’s playbook — he tripped going up the stairs of Air Force One while boarding the plane to Camp David.
A now-circulating clip shows Trump shuffling up the steps, appearing tired or distracted, when he misjudged a step and nearly fell. Fortunately, he had one hand on the railing, caught himself, and kept it moving like a pro. No pause, no panic — just classic Trump confidence.
Trump Torches Newsom and Mayor Bass Over Violent ICE Raid Protests
But the stumble didn’t slow him down. Trump quickly turned his focus to slamming California leaders, specifically Governor Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, blaming them for the “total leadership failure” as chaos erupted in the streets of Los Angeles.
The unrest follows ICE raids across the city, which have triggered mass protests, fiery clashes, and heightened tensions between federal authorities and local residents.
Scenes from the Ground: Tear Gas, Flames, and Fury
Images from the first two days of protests paint a grim picture of the escalating situation:
- Massive fires blazing in key intersections
- Tear gas deployed by Border Patrol
- Protesters facing off against law enforcement in multiple parts of L.A. County
Trump’s comments, as always, are stoking more debate — with his loyal supporters praising his hardline stance and critics accusing him of fueling division during a volatile moment in the city.
