BREAKING: Donald Trump unleashes a befuddling rant about using the "children's stairs" to get up into Air Force One and says that he wants to use the "long ones" instead.

Dementia Don wants to be treated like a big boy...

"Our country is respected again like never— They were laughing at our country. We had a guy who couldn't walk up a flight of stairs. He kept falling. It's very embarrassing," Trump said during a speech at the America Business Forum in Miami.

"You know at Air Force One I go... 'Sir would you like the short stairs or the long.' I said give me the long every single time please. The short ones— They call them the children's stairs," he rambled on. "I don't want the children's stairs. Doesn't look so good coming out of the children's stairs. Now if the weather's bad it's okay, right? If you don't mind."

The so-called "children's stairs" are an alternative entrance into Air Force One that extends directly into the belly of the aircraft. The "long" stairs are an 18-foot staircase that attaches to the upper exterior of the plane, allowing presidents to make more dramatic entrances and exits from the plane.

The suggestion here is that Trump's staff are constantly pressuring him to use the safer, smaller stairs but his ego won't permit him. He has been caught on camera stumbling on the "long" steps and is at obvious risk of taking a painful fall. This is a 79-year-old man who doesn't believe in exercise. His body is falling apart almost as quickly as his mind is and we still don't know why he underwent a nonstandard MRI scan last month. If he does indeed have dementia, as seems increasingly likely, his chances of falling are even higher.

1. A perfectly healthy Trump springs up the stairs like a sprightly fawn.

8. Good God in Butter does he look bad in that picture.

That is a man in major physical decline. You can tell when he gets into the plane he is going
to collapse.

10. I'd let them shoot me before I did what that Marine is doing.

Talk about illegal orders

[Sogo]

24. LOL!!

[Marthe48]

33. At least he's wearing gloves!

n/t

37. Not enough. Full hazmat suit.

29. Is that video an AI fake? Looks like a chin strap on only one side of his head.

[fargone]

39. Good catch

[tanyev]

2. You keep taking those long stairs as much as you want, Sir!

[Coventina]

5. Yes! And, give yourself a speed challenge!!

Try to beat your previous record each time!!

YOU CAN DO IT!!

[Seinan Sensei]

22. "But whatever you do," says Trump,

“Don’t EVER use that damn ramp again!!”

[Moostache]

3. I hope he falls down the stairs and breaks his neck live on TV...

But I also want him to survive as a quadriplegic and live out his days without the ability to do ANYTHING for himself. 100% loss of freedom to move, to talk, to eat, to shit, to do anything. And I want that to persist for a very long time indeed.

[AZJonnie]

6. You are a very mean person, Moostache!

I like that about you

[Moostache]

7. Thank you!

Believe me, there is no depth to my hatred of Trump and anyone who vocally admits they support or like or abide him. I have lost touch with my own sister over him and her (and my brother-in-law's) undying support of him. If I am willing to loose family because of him, there really is no bottom or thing that could happen to him that would be too far in my eyes.

9. Speaking purely from practicality

...a public incident, with only vetted staff in the immediate area, would be the least likely to fit the bill for a declaration of martial law.

(That would likely come later, to quell the dancing-in-the-streets crowds.)

[Ocelot II]

4. So let him take the Big Boy stairs and fall on his ass. Fine with me.

[ananda]

11. Dementia has been obvious for years as it has progressed.

No question, ever.

[uncle ray]

12. he's just sooo relatable to the common person.

[yonder]

13. Good thing that Marine had his gloves on.

I'm betting "the trump rump stuff" was not a boot camp drill.

[kwolf68]

14. What a fat ass fruit loop this guy is

When was the last time he uttered anything that made sense? I have to go way back to his first debates where he skewered Jeb Bush and the war mongers for the Iraqi war. Honestly, there was about 90 seconds there that Donald J Trump was right on target. It's amazing to go back and watch it. Since then? Nothing but verbal flatulence.

15. What happened to the investigation Trump ordered into the dastardly UN escalator incident?

Surely the sleuth whose skills were so in evidence in showing where President Obama was really born should have been able to get to the bottom of that by now?

[MissouriDem47]

16. I would love to see

Just once, I would love to see TACO try to come bouncing down the stairs of Air Force One like President Obama did when he was in office.

[Beacool]

17. Is it wrong to wish that he takes the big boy's stairs and tumbles to the ground?

[3Hotdogs]

18. Keep on using the big boy stairs, Donny. Make 'merica proud of ya.

[Puppyjive]

19. He meeds a stair lift chair

His brain is not working just like his body. I think those around him are taking advantage and they need to be called out just like they have with Biden s auto pen fiasco.

[KS Toronado]

20. What are MRI scans typically used for, looking for what disease?

[Randomthought]

23. Plaque for one

Also abnormal amount of brain shrinkage.

[BOSSHOG]

25. I'm told

Blood leakage into the brain.

[KS Toronado]

28. So he might be seriously ill

Is he doing his best to destroy this country because he knows he's dying, he has been saying he doesn't
think Heaven wants him.

[BOSSHOG]

30. Oh I think he's incredibly ill

What he’s doing to our country is a result of a serious illness brain leakage or not. I’m 71 and am at peace with someday dying. Next month or 30 years from now. But I don’t spend every waking minute planning to hurt other humans. It takes a very sick person to do that. I don’t think heaven wants him either.

[KS Toronado]

34. Don't believe he has a camel that'll go through the eye of a needle.

[BaronChocula]

21. Long stairs?

I'm sure he got a lot of long stares, just like at that curious stage show for those upper level military officers.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. We Should Start Telling Him...

...Biden got down the stairs faster than him.
See if his ego creates a speed his decaying carcass can't handle without taking a header.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. He even has trouble with ramps

[swong19104]

31. Having him walk down the "adult stairs"

and falling, killing him would just be fantastic. Everyone can see his death happening in slow motion and 4k high definition. No doubt about it. The fucker cracked his head and blood was all over the tarmac. Ooh. A day with flag at half-staff. Or would it just be 6 hours?

[BidenRocks]

36. Have JD in front of him.

Going down?

[Orrex]

32. Perhaps he could use a steam-powered catapult to launch himself into Air Force One?

[Blue Owl]

35. Hey fat fuck what's that on your shoe there?

[oasis]

38. Please don't fall Mr.President

[Clouds Passing]

40. His calves are burning and quads are a'hurtin' going up those stairs
