Donald Trump used a rally in Kentucky on Wednesday, 11 March, to deride Joe Biden as 'incompetent' over his public stumbles, while also conceding that he now walks down stairs 'very slowly' himself to avoid the sort of tumble that could damage his image. Speaking at a packaging facility, the 79‑year‑old president turned a familiar attack on his rival's fitness into a back‑handed admission about his own vulnerability.
The latest jibes came after years of Donald Trump portraying Biden as physically weak and mentally slipping, a central plank of his messaging both before and during his second term in office. At the same time, Trump has faced mounting scrutiny over his own health, with every slow descent from Air Force One and each awkward public moment pored over by critics and supporters alike.
