We've reached the point where Trump is fist-bumping the cameras after "making it down Air Force One's steps." [View all]

Trump slumped into a waiting limousine after landing in Palm Beach for a Mar-a-Lago weekend on Friday—even as he demanded lawmakers keep at it in Washington, D.C., amid the ongoing government shutdown.

In footage captured by Fox News on Friday night, Trump can be seen slowly making his way off Air Force One. He descends the stairs at a cautious pace and raises his fist after completing the task without incident, before almost collapsing into the seat of his waiting car.

The dark footage shows Trump’s head rolling back, and he appears to sigh as he sits.

Less than two hours before he flew south for the weekend, Trump posted to Truth Social that senators should not leave the capital until they can reopen the government, which has now been closed for 39 days—the longest stretch in American history.
