Biden Campaign Mocks Trump's Stumble, Calls Him 'Feeble' on Minnesota Rally Stage

On May 18, 2024, during a rally in Minnesota, President Donald Trump faced an embarrassing moment when he nearly stumbled and fell while leaning on the podium during his speech. The incident was captured on video and shared by the Biden-Harris HQ, who seized the opportunity to mock Trump's physical capabilities.

The video showed Trump grabbing the lectern to steady himself after leaning on it too heavily, almost causing it to topple over. This prompted the Biden campaign to label the 78-year-old President as "feeble" in a social media post.

Trump's Reaction

Following the stumble, Trump went on an angry rant, criticizing the stage setup and event workers. He ad-libbed about the poor quality of the platform and even joked about it tilting to the left, making a veiled reference to political leanings.

Despite the mishap, Trump continued his speech with controversial claims about the 2020 election, insisting that he had won Minnesota and implying the need for voter scrutiny in the upcoming November election. This rhetoric has raised concerns about potential voter intimidation.

While both Trump and Biden have faced criticism for their gaffes, Trump's decision to campaign in Minnesota, a state he has previously won, is reportedly backed by his advisers as a strategic move to secure a victory. However, this effort is viewed as an uphill battle by Democrats and even some Republicans in the state.
