Donald Trump falls up the stairs during latest appearance and everyone’s making the same point

Donald Trump suffered an embarrassing blunder over the weekend by falling up the stairs.

Interestingly, however, after repeatedly assessing footage of the cringe-worthy moment, several eagle-eyed critics were left convinced they'd seen the same situation unfold before - again, involving Trump.

For those who haven't yet come across the 78-year-old's latest 'oops' moment, it occurred on Sunday (8 June) whilst Trump ascended the staircase to Air Force One.

The Republican leader was heading at the time to Camp David, a federal government retreat in the wilderness of Maryland, to meet with military leaders over the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act in response to protests against immigration raids happening in Los Angeles, which began on Friday (6 June).

The act would allow the military to be deployed domestically to tackle such challenges, though Trump has emphasised that said protests should not yet be considered an insurrection.

In response to a reporter's question, he said (via The Independent): "No, no, but you have violent people. And we are not going to let them get away with it."

He continued that there will be 'troops everywhere', adding: "We’re not going to let this happen to our country."

However, despite not invoking the act, Trump still sent National Guard troops down to LA, much to the disapproval of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who said the deployment would 'only escalate tensions', Sky News reports.

Prior to take off, however, Trump could be seen climbing up the stairs to the aircraft following a brief conference with several reporters over the high-stakes matter. During his ascension, however, the President seemingly miscalculated his footing and tripped over.

Refusing to lose face, Trump attempted to brush over the unfortunate mishap by continuing to climb up to the plane's door and not looking back.

After the video went viral on social media, viewers couldn't help but notice a parallel between the right-wing front-man's fall this week, and a series of stumble previously sustained by his Presidential predecessor, Joe Biden.

Throughout his term in the White House, the former Democratic leader tripped in public several times - something political enemy Trump refused to let go and ceaselessly mocked whilst the pair were campaigning against one another.

After 82-year-old Biden tripped over a sandbag at the 2023 Air Force graduation ceremony in Colorado, Trump described the moment as 'not inspiring', joking during a subsequently Iowa campaigning event: "I hope he wasn’t hurt. I hope he wasn’t hurt...

"You don’t want that."

He also referenced Biden's stumble up the stairs of Air Force One in 2023, saying: "Joe Biden can’t even walk up a flight of stairs on Air Force One."

Interestingly now, though, the tables appear to have turned - something that didn't go a miss for some social media users.

"After he made fun of Biden a ton for doing this lol. Karma!" one wrote online this week, while another went on to jibe: "Bro probably got flashbacks from when Biden slipped."

"Bro just pulled a Biden," a third laughed.

Meanwhile, a fourth another added: "So I guess it’s not only a Biden thing."

A fifth continued: "He made fun of Biden for the same thing. So KARMA they say."
