U.S. President Joe Biden was preparing to board Air Force One at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, for a visit to Atlanta when he stumbled halfway up the ladder and fell three times in a row. At one point, he fell on his knees between the stairs, but finally he stood up quickly, pretending to hold on to the railing and quickly reached the door of the plane, and deliberately turned around to salute the crowd with a raised hand.

The Daily Mail pointed out that most major media websites did not report the “Biden fall” news in the first place, and Republicans including Trump‘s eldest son Donald Trump Jr. criticized the mainstream media for their mild coverage of Biden’s fall, which is exactly what the left media did. Another example of the left media’s “double standard” after four years of continuous attacks on Trump and “good treatment” of Biden.

Biden’s trip to Atlanta was to meet with members of the local Asian community and to meet with Stacey Abrams, the unsuccessful African-American gubernatorial candidate, but because of a massage parlor shooting that left eight dead and one injured, Biden scheduled more trips.

Biden tripped on the escalator when boarding the plane, grabbed the handrail with his right hand and quickly got up, then tripped twice in a row and landed on both knees for the third Time.

When I saw the footage of Biden falling three times in a row, I somehow felt a bit “ominous”, and at the same time, my mind recalled that on September 23, 1982, when I was in Beijing covering the negotiations between the Chinese and British governments on the future of Hong Kong, I witnessed the then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (also known as Margaret Thatcher or Margaret Thatcher) fall on the steps of the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. The scene.

It was said at the time that the British Prime Minister’s fall was a sign of bad luck for the future of Hong Kong.

Biden, now 78, is the oldest sitting president in U.S. history; President Ronald Reagan was 77 when he left office and 69 when he was elected. Trump was 70 when he was elected president and 74 when he left office earlier this year.

Biden’s health has long been questioned, with some questioning his Alzheimer’s because he often misspoke of people’s names and titles; only this month, on the 18th, he referred to Vice President He Jinli as “President He Jinli. This time, he fell three times on board the plane, raising doubts about his health and leadership ability again.
