After President Joe Biden fell on stage at the Air Force Academy on Thursday, former President Donald Trump responded to the news.
Trump was speaking at the Grimes Community Complex in Grimes, Iowa, during an event to thank volunteers for his 2024 campaign.

“He did? He just fell? On what stage? He’s at the Air Force Academy? He actually fell down?” he asked after a voice announced the fall.
“Well, I hope he wasn’t hurt. I hope he wasn’t hurt,” Trump reacted. “But its — the whole thing is, look — the whole thing is crazy. You got to be careful about that.”
“You got to be careful about that because you don’t want that, even if you have to tiptoe down a ramp,” he added, referencing his shuffle down a ramp at the United States Military Academy at West Point in 2020.
After shuffling down the ramp, Trump sparked criticism and questions over his health. Trump, who will turn 77 this month, is running for president again in 2024.

If he wins the Republican nomination, he will face off against Biden, who is 80 years old and would be 86 years old at the end of a second term.
Biden fell during the U.S. Air Force Academy graduation ceremony in Colorado, where he was handing out diplomas. The White House quickly brushed off concerns over the president’s well-being, explaining, “He’s fine. There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands.”
