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.
