Trump to Generals: "One thing with Obama, he would bop down those stairs- da-da, da, da. Pop, pop, pop"



PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: America is respected again as a country. We were not respected with [Joe] Biden. They looked at him falling downstairs every day. Every day, the guy’s falling downstairs.

Said, it’s not our president. We can’t have it.

I’m very careful, you know, when I walk downstairs, like I’m on stairs, like these stairs, they’re very… I walk very slowly.

Nobody has to set a record. Just try not to fall. Because it doesn’t work out well.

A few of our presidents have fallen and it became a part of their legacy. We don’t want that.

You have to walk nice and easy. You’re not having, you don’t have to set any record.

Be cool. Be cool when you walk down, but don’t, don’t bop down the stairs.

It’s the one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs. I’ve never seen, da-da, da, da. Pop, pop, pop.

He’d go down the stairs, wouldn’t hold on. I said, “it’s great. I don’t want to do it.”

I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are gonna happen. And it only takes once...

that Trump, in all of his 79 plus years has never slipped while using the stairs? Or maybe he only takes escalators. When the one at the U.N. stopped he looked like he didn't know what to do.

But not his Obama envy. It may be the one thing his brain remembers when he finally leaves us.

It's like listening to Michael Scott give a presentation to corporate board members.

These are our generals, they're the best of the best both in terms of leadership skills, management skills, and expertise. They're listening to this buffoon talk about how he can walk down stairs.

It's like listening to some redneck proudly explain long division to a room full of astrophysicists.

the new requirement for a president now? Can they go up and down stairs without holding on to handrails? If so, trumpy fails. He always uses the handrail, as he should at his advanced age.
