In yet another painfully close call, Joe Biden nearly fell over while walking up the stairs of Air Force One yesterday...
And of course, the internet has gone hysterical over it.
Scroll on to check out the little stumble...
Now, you will all be aware that President Biden was previously filmed falling 3 separate times as he climbed the steps of Air Force One.
While boarding the aircraft to embark on his round-trip flight to Atlanta to meet with Asian-American community leaders in the wake of the massage parlor massacre last month, Biden triple-fell in front of dozens of cameras.
It was painful to watch, we won't lie...
And the president seemed to be seriously struggling to get back up from his knees as he desperately grabbed onto the hand rail of the steps.
Thankfully, he managed to get up after a few seconds...
And after giving his knee a rub, he bravely continued his ascent up the steps... and even turned to give a salute to the U.S Marines who had flown him by helicopter to the airport from the White House.
A White House spokesperson quickly spoke out to blame the windy weather for his several falls...

And insisted there was "no damage done." Karine Jean-Pierre, the deputy White House press secretary, then told reporters on Air Force One:
"It's very windy. I almost fell coming up the steps myself. He is doing 100% fine."
When asked if the president was checked by a doctor, Jean-Pierre said:
"I just - all I know is - I can tell you is he's doing fine. He's doing great."
As you'd expect, the footage of Biden's stumble spread like wildfire online...

Poor guy. At least he made it up on his own. You gotta give credit where credit is due.

How long until he gets one of those little chairs that ride up the railing?

Washington said he fell because of the wind blowing hard! This has nothing to do do with the wind blowing hard! You can also see that he’s embarrassed ! Especially when he is rubbing his knee! I really feel bad for him!

And now, last month's embarrassing trip has very nearly repeated itself!
Yesterday, President Biden walked up Air Force One's stairs very gingerly while holding an umbrella and a briefcase as he took off for Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to debut his $2 trillion infrastructure plan.
Biden is seen very nearly missing a step as he boards the plane...
And he looked quite stiff as he made his way up the stairs.
And as always, he gave his salute when he reached the top.
We can all breathe a huge sigh of relief now!
