Trump admits 'I have to be careful' as he tries to avoid awkward Biden accident

Donald Trumphas confessed he takes extra care to ensure he doesn't make the same awkward scene his predecessor did during his tenure.

The US Presidentwas speaking at a rally of Navy sailors when he lashed out at Joe Biden, who famously tripped more than once while walking up steps and ramps to public presentations and Air Force One. The 79-year-old thanked the sailors gathered for the US Navy's 250th anniversary celebration in Norfolk, Virginia, for their service.

But the rest of the speech involved bragging about his presidency and lashing out at his political opponents. "We had a horrible, horrible president who had no clue what the hell was happening", Trump said.

"The chances of him walking down those stairs successfully were not good. And I have to be careful because one day I’m gonna probably fall."

As well as the presidential jet trip, Biden fell over on stage or lost his foot on three other occasions in full view of the cameras. At 78 years old, Biden was the oldest US president to take office. Trump is now 79, the same age as Biden was when he fell in front of Air Force One.

During the US Navy address, he said he had an internal voice that tells him to take care when walking up and down steps. "I always say, walk down the steps nice and slowly. You ever notice? I don’t have to bop down the stairs. Walk nice and slowly," he said.

At the same event, Donald Trump insisted that he had predicted 9/11 and could have stopped the terrorist atrocity if anyone had heeded his warnings.

"Please remember I wrote about Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center," Trump declared during the speech.

"I said, 'You've gotta watch Osama bin Laden.' And the fake news would never let me get away with that statement unless it was true.

"But, I said one year before to Pete Hegseth, I said one year before, in the book, I wrote - whatever the hell the title, I can't tell you, but I can tell you there's a page in there devoted to the fact that I saw somebody named Osama bin Laden, and I didn't like it, and 'You've gotta take care of him,'" Trump insisted.
