Five Awkward Presidential Moments Caught on Camera


3. Joe Biden’s Trip Up the Stairs of Air Force One

In December 2021, President Joe Biden faced an awkward moment as he attempted to board Air Force One. While climbing the steps, Biden stumbled not once, not twice, but three times.

It appeared he was in a rush, which caused him to trip about halfway up the staircase. Despite the stumbles, he managed to regain his composure, holding onto the railing before boarding the plane successfully. This incident quickly spread across social media, becoming a talking point for many.

4. Donald Trump’s Solar Eclipse Stare

On August 21, 2017, during a total solar eclipse, President Donald Trump made headlines for an unusual reason. Despite numerous warnings from experts and the media about the dangers of looking directly at the eclipse without protective eyewear, Trump was photographed doing exactly that.

The images of him squinting up at the sun without proper eye protection went viral, sparking a wave of memes and online ridicule. The incident was often cited in jokes about Trump ignoring scientific advice.
