A new fall for Joe Biden. The US president tripped over a sandbag and collapsed during a graduation ceremony at the Colorado Air Force Academy on Thursday (June 1). As shown in the images to be discovered above, a soldier and two bodyguards helped Biden to his feet. The president then attended, impassive, at the end of the ceremony.
Back at the White House, Joe Biden, smiling, dared to joke in front of the cameras, difficult to translate into French: « I got sandbagged » (« On m’a assommé »)an expression referring to the sandbag that caused his fall (” sandbag “). The one who had already fallen on his bike a year ago then sketched a small dance step to show that he ” it is going well “, as ensured from its communication services.
Biden’s age in question
At 80, Joe Biden is the oldest president in the history of the United States. A fact that his detractors constantly criticize, in particular his Republican opponent Donald Trump, who had nicknamed him “Sleepy Joe” (” Sleepy Joe”) during the 2018 presidential campaign.
If the current head of state is given the keys to the White House a second time, he will be 86 at the end of his term, which worries his compatriots: according to polls, the majority of Americans believe that he is too old to run for a second term.
