White House Scrambles After Trump’s Viral Stumble With Melania

The White House is vigorously countering inquiries about President Donald Trump’s ability to maintain a straight path while walking. On September 16, Trump, 79, was observed making his way from the Marine One helicopter to the Air Force One jet at Joint Base Andrews in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, they embarked on a state visit to the United Kingdom.During his descent from Marine One, Trump appeared to meander before being greeted by a uniformed individual. Media reports described his walk as “wildly veering,” prompting pushback from the White House. Communications Director Steven Cheung remarked, "You must be blind or stupid, because that was a perfect walk."Trump's health has been under scrutiny following a diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency, which causes difficulties in blood circulation, particularly in the legs. The condition leads to mild swelling, raising further concerns about his mobility.
