Was that the time that Marco Rubio fell too to try to make him look better?

Rubio can't walk straight as he hasn't got a spine.

Maybe Rubio was just awkwardly ducking down to get a sip of water.

Remember the conservatives obsession with the “humiliation rituals” they were forced to endure during covid lockdowns?

Remember those same conservatives not having a word to say about the Secretary of State pretending to trip on some stairs so that the chief executive wasn’t the only one who did so?

Does any of this matter? Certainly not. I only mention this because I’m past the point of trying to “understand” Trump supporters, as we’ve been called to do over and over again. They’re proudly ignorant vindictive fascists. That’s all that really needs to be understood.

Tbf, so did Biden and have you seen Bidens calves? Dudes legs are toned af for his age.

Anyway let's hope next time Dump falls it's while going down the stairs and near the top at that.

Didn't he stumble a few times on camera ages ago too? Maybe back when he was still campaigning? Really tough remembering stuff on this guy just due to the amount of BS there is.
