‘Impeach Biden’ trends after Air Force One fall as SILENT Dems accused of hypocrisy for branding Trump ‘unfit to serve’
CALLS for Joe Biden’s impeachment began trending on Twitter on Friday hours after the president was caught on tape tripping over the stairs while boarding Air Force One.
The 78-year-old president was seen slipping on the stairs as he was trying to speedily climb the airstairs to the presidential aircraft.

His quick recovery did little to save him from becoming an instant online sensation, with memes immediately popping up on social media poking fun of the oldest person to assume the presidency.
Simultaneously, Democrats and publications have been accused of hypocrisy for not addressing Biden’s fall down the stairs when last year, they accused President Trump of being unfit for office.
“I remember the press bashing Trump for touching the rail once. Biden falls repeatedly but I’m sure he’s the picture of health. No wonder all our enemies are pouncing simultaneously and mocking him publicly,” tweeted Donald Trump Jr.
His Twitter account contained a number of tweets regarding Biden’s incident, including one of his father swinging a golf club and a subsequent cut to Biden showing the ball hit him and causing him to fall down the stairs.
In another tweet, Trump Jr. wrote “Pay no attention to the fact that the President of the United States is so frail that he got knocked over repeatedly by a gust of wind. Nothing at all to see here, folks!”
In between Trump Jr.’s tweets, the hashtag “Impeach Biden” was trending as people pointed to Democrats’ rhetoric against Trump, saying Biden too was unfit for office.
Over five hours after the incident, Trump Jr. tweeted again in reference to the incident: “I’m really looking forward to all the tele-physicians who attacked Trump getting on TV and discussing how Biden’s loss of balance and constant loss of train of thought is a serious symptom of neurological deficiency and dementia…. because it is.”
White House Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Air Force One: “It’s pretty windy outside. It’s very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100 percent.”
But the explanation didn’t do much to stop memes from surfacing over the internet.
Chrissy Teigen joked “We should all hope to one day trip on the way up to our personal jet.”

Kyle Kashuv, a gun rights supporter, tweeted “Chair Force One” next to a photoshopped photo of Biden sitting on a chairlift on the aircraft.
Other memes showed the president tripping after trying to tackle a football player or punched by an anime character.
Some even joked about another famous incident revolving around Jason DeRulo’s fall at the Met Gala, which was photoshopped onto Biden’s trip.
