Dateline: Brandon Falls. President Joe Biden fell down in public again. This time, in front of the graduating class at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The excuse is that he tripped over a sandbag, which... sure, why not. On CNN, a doctor suggested the elderly president start using a cane so he doesn't fall down as much.

Joe Biden is running for reelection as president. His GOP opponent is believed to either be the equally elderly 76-year-old Donald Trump or the much younger 44-year-old Ron DeSantis. Without a pandemic as an excuse to stay in the basement, you would assume more public appearances for Biden. That means more opportunities for "bad optics" of falling down like he did climbing steps in 2021 or riding his bike in 2022.

Doctor Jonathan Reiner said on CNN he wants the president to start walking with a cane.

I would suggest to the President that he really needs to be careful and on unsteady ground it wouldn't be the worst thing for the President to use a cane. I know he may not like the optics but falling appears much worse.

Both of his political opponents expressed their well wishes. Trump, who is only four years younger than Biden, told Sean Hannity. during an interview he shouldn't make fun of old people falling down: “I said I just don’t think it’s good for anybody and, you know, it’s not appropriate. You can speak about it if you want, but I don’t think you should joke about it. And you really didn’t after that.”

DeSantis, who is thirty-six years younger the Biden, wished Joe Biden a speedy recovery. But also...

Joe Biden is back in Washington DC, where reports say he also banged his head on the door of a helicopter. As of this writing, it is unclear what the president's schedule looks like today. But if I were to guess, probably another three-day weekend off in Delaware.
