How many times has Joe Biden stumbled while walking the Air Force One staircase?
It’s extremely difficult keeping track of Biden’s stumbles.
Even though they deployed a shorter staircase for the White House resident, he still managed to stumble.
Upon his return to the United States from the a five-day European trip, Biden got tripped up by the Air Force One stairs.

In addition to getting tripped up (again), Biden generated more questions about his mental capacity during his European trip.
Biden decided to skip a NATO dinner in favor of returning to his hotel room early on the trip.
The White House claimed that his busy schedule prevented him from attending.
Biden also seemed to confuse Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.
At one point, Biden called Zelensky “Vladmir,” and then later mentioned something about “inhumane attacks on Russia.”
According to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski, Biden looks like a mess because he has incompetent staffers.
It has nothing to do with his age or mental capacity.
“If you are managing a president’s schedule and you are managing a president getting on stage and getting off stage, getting on planes and off planes, and yes, he's 80. You need to be there for him and you need to make a pathway, and you sure as h**l better make sure he doesn't fall on a sandbag. And I blame the staff for that. These are the things that are going to hurt him. These are things that are going to be played on a loop," Brzezinski said.
“Do a better job because you can’t have these video images of the president tripping or the president like going the wrong way…his age is going to be a factor… It makes me mad!” she added.

Biden's stumble comes on the heels of a European trip where he boasted Finland's NATO membership.
NBC News reports:
President Joe Biden wrapped up his five-day European trip in Helsinki on Thursday after showcasing Finland's NATO membership, which Western nations see as standing for a reinvigorated and expanding alliance in the face of Russian aggression.
The stop came after Biden attended a high-profile NATO summit in nearby Lithuania, where much of the focus was on on Ukraine’s path to membership. However, the United States and its allies touted Finland becoming the defense alliance’s newest member as one of the crowning achievements of the gathering.
Finland shares an 830-mile border with Russia and had until recently maintained relatively cordial relations with Moscow. But it applied for entrance to NATO soon after Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine last year.
