I'd imagine there are as many stairs or more internally to get to the actual cabin. He won't be on camera panting like a dog or potentially busting his ass there, though

He might say he feels great, but my guess is that he's pretty weak.

but the rear of the plane and often used, esp at airports with space issues (or something - it's in the thread)

This door is on the other side of the Presidential Seal as the regular passenger entrance

I was replying to someone else who said the door was on the REAR of the plane. It is clearly on the FRONT. That is all i was saying.

Or maybe there's a comfy chair right inside the doorway, just out of sight, where he can sit and catch his breath for a moment before continuing.

It would be even worse with his girth in there!

Maybe some pilot will fly by this thread, and explain to us how you get something that big up in the air.
I'm not quite sure if I'm referring to the plane, or Trump.

Because these stairs don't look as steep as the ones for the passenger entrance. He doesn't want to appear weak if he has to stop and he hopes nobody notices. Stairs were one of the hardest things to navigate post COVID. Feel fine and suddenly you feel like the plug was pulled right in the middle of going up stairs. Even without any shortness of breath I would feel I couldn't go another step, but rest a minute and it would come back. It would be very embarrassing to Trump if he had to stop twice on the way into his (our) Air Force I. Besides happening to me on interior steps, it happened on the steps to my back yard deck. Kept looking around to see if any neighbors noticed. It's not like Trump can bound up those stairs like Joe can even in his best condition.

Wait until January or February when he gets the 3 month hair loss (I hope), especially if he ran a high fever. He's going to love even thinner hair.

For a little show of contrast now might be a good time for Joe to take a few hours off for some exercise and a bike ride - and be filmed by the press (and preferably have the Fox guy in the pool) and wave while whizzing by.

least some old photos, though the only ones I could find from before his secretive trip to Walter Reed last winter were on days when bad weather (snow one day, high winds another, according to the articles) might have made it safest for him to have fewer steps to climb.

My best guess is he's having more and more trouble climbing stairs.
