Raw Story: 'I don't want to go': Trump complains about walking down stairs at MAGA conference

Raw Story - 'I don't want to go': Trump complains about walking down stairs at MAGA conference

President-elect Donald Trump complained about possibly having to walk down steps to reach the stage at a conservative conference on Sunday.

As he walked out to the podium at AmFest in Arizona, Trump began by wishing the audience a Merry Christmas.

"Nice to win the election and very nice to win," the president-elect said. "And I want to wish everybody a very Merry Christmas. They don't say that too much anymore."

"And when I had all that smoke backstage, I said, Hey, are there any steps in front of me?" he continued. "I don't want to go. I go down. That would not be good."

"We don't want to do that nice and slow, but I just want to thank you."

Trump has a history of being mocked for slowly walking down stairs at previous events.

we as a nation have learned to interpret his word salad and make meaning of it, but if anyone else spoke like this we'd have them committed.

Having THREE STRAIGHT FUCKING WEEKS of non-stop debate and discussion about the SCANDAL of Biden being too old and feeble to serve as leader of the free world and how Dems had been covering it up... They forced him out of the race just because he was less than perfect at one fucking debate. 🙄

I don't give a flip about how many years TSF lives, and I like Harris very much, it still gave me sads to see so many people turn their backs on Biden. Especially given that he actually won in 2020. Biden moves slowly, but believe his mind is keener than TSF's. But what is, is what it is.
