He Can’t Be Controlled: Trump’s Flare-Up Fans Theories Of Internal Rebellion

Donald Trump resumed his habitual critique of Joe Biden, but his recent commentary led many to speculate whether he was inadvertently reflecting upon his own vulnerabilities. During a speech at the America Business Forum on November 5, Trump veered off into an unexpected rant, revealing personal frustrations rather than policy insights. His comments about what he called “children’s stairs” ignited a flurry of reactions online, as observers questioned whether he was directing criticism at Biden or revealing his apprehensions.While Trump mocked Biden's difficulties with Air Force One's smaller boarding stairs, critics argued that his focus on this issue exposed his own insecurities rather than the supposed indignities of presidential decorum. Social media users highlighted the irony—an elderly politician lampooning another for mobility issues—while others recalled Trump's own unsteady moments, such as his well-documented struggle on a ramp at West Point. This fixation on stairs underscores the paradox of Trump's rhetorical style, often accusing others of his own perceived shortcomings.
