As Questions Mount About Joe Biden Using Short Stairs on Air Force One, White House Posts Old Photo of Biden Using Long Staircase | The Gateway Pundit | by Kristinn Taylor | 30
Joe Biden has been using the short built-in stairs to board and debark the presidential Boeing 747-200B known as Air Force One for several weeks, if not months. The change from using the traditional long staircase has gained notice and is raising questions about Biden’s health. Biden has fallen twice in public this year and stumbled or hesitated several more times. Since the 2020 election, Biden has fallen at least once a year in public and once at home when he broke his foot in a fall in November 2020.

On Monday TGP and others highlighted Biden using the short stairs with new regularity. A tweet by Brick Suit went viral with over 1,300,000 views.
No more big stairs for Joe!

Biden once again used the short steps to board Air Force One on his departure from California on Wednesday. Yet, in a seeming response to critics, the White House posted an old photo Wednesday afternoon of a vigorous looking Biden walking down the long staircase for Air Force One, captioned, “We’re on the move to invest in America.”

The reality on Wednesday was Biden gripping the handrail while climbing the fourteen steps to the undercarriage of Air Force One.

The difference in presidential imagery is telling. A president’s health and vigor is demonstrated to the world by the long climb up and down the stairs. The power and majesty of the American presidency is demonstrated by the president standing at the top of the stairs with the robin’s egg blue of Air Force One and the large presidential seal behind him.

Using the service entrance all the time just isn’t the same.
Even Team Biden knows.
