Donald Trump tripped while boarding Air Force One in New Jersey, just after addressing reporters about invoking the Insurrection Act. Social media erupted with reactions.
US President Donald Trump tripped while boarding Air Force One before departure from Morristown Municipal Airport in Morristown, New Jersey.
Moments later, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio also stumbled on the same staircase as he followed Trump.
The incident happened on Sunday, shortly after the US President spoke to reporters on whether he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act in response to ongoing protests in Los Angeles following recent immigration raids.
Videos widely being shared on social media showed Trump stumbling on the staircase of Air Force One.
He, however, quickly regained his balance.
These Air Force One ✈️ stairs are apparently faulty 🤷🏼♀️President Trump was the first to fall victim, immediately followed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Meanwhile, social media users were quick to remind Trump of his earlier remark on former President Joe Biden, who, too, had once stumbled on the stairs of Air Force One.
'Joe Biden can't even walk up a flight of stairs on Air Force One… We have somebody that doesn't have a clue representing us," Trump had then remarked.
'It's funny how the words he uses as an attack on others always seem to come back around on him," a comment on one of the videos of Donald Trump read.
Before his departure, Trump spoke to reporters about the violent protests in Los Angeles, where demonstrators torched cars and scuffled with security forces.
He later ordered the deployment of National Guard troops, which were sent to the streets of the second biggest US city.
Unrest broke out for a third day, with protestors angry at action by immigration officials that has resulted in dozens of arrests of what authorities say are illegal migrants and gang members.
The raids — which began in broad daylight in a city with a large Latino population — were always likely to spark a reaction among the public in the liberal city.
