Dump. It looked rehearsed too -- the way he did his own version of the "10 ft jog" afterwards.

He did it to make his boss look good and to stay on his good side.
"See, Boss? I'm not the most graceful dancer in the troupe either."

The video wasn't at a good angle to see if there was toilet paper on his shoe.

In real life, I would never even think to laugh at someone stumbling, especially someone older, but this is not real life anymore - this is crazytrumpworld and they are one big joke.

But when your hero is a guy who mocks the disabled and both of you are trying to kill as many of your fellow country people through negligent genocide it’s all fair game and fuck the pearl clutches not liking my attitude. You all know where the goddamn fucking ignore button is.

This begs the question, "How to stair?" We need a long-winded explanation.

But what if it's more serious? What if it's a neurological condition? He didn't merely trip, he fell to all fours. Looks like it might be a coordination thing. Or depth perception. He did jog up the stairs. So that's more impressive than his boss, but maybe he was too winded to make it the rest of the way. The tripping might be a metaphor for his drug use? Hey, just throwing this out there. Maybe people are saying? In any case, it reflects poorly on America. Is this making America great again, or is he making America a laughingstock? Or maybe this was a sympathy trip so that his master can shift the discussion of the ramp and water to Pence and his failure to make it into the plane unscathed.

Is any of this true? Who knows? But I think people are saying.

Inside Mike Pence's Brain:
"I'm so excited to be helping the greatest American of All-time, Donald John Trump, win re-election. He's the closest thing to Jesus to me, I swear, oops—sorry Lord about the swear thing...Gonna run so fast up these stairs as penance."

Nears top of stairs...

"OMG, what am I doing, this will embarrass my dear President Donald J. Trump, that's my nickname for him, dear President Donald J. Trump, especially with his fear of ramps & OMG S-T-A-I-R-S! What was I thinking...I better take a fall."

And BAM he goes done.

Scene.

As he jogged up the stairs I don't know what he was thinking. Apparently it was not "must not trip, must not trip".
But I knew he was going to trip and so was on the edge of my seat as he neared the top.
He did not disappoint. That was very nearly a faceplant!!

Remember that time President Obama fell going up the stairs to AF1 and that time he could barely get down the ramp?

Nope. Didn't think so.

These two doofuses will never be anywhere near as cool as President Obama and they know it.
