President Joe Biden was recorded taking a tumble off his bike Saturday morning while out for a ride with first lady Jill Biden near their home in Rehoboth Beach, DE.
A crowd of onlookers that included reporters was watching as the president and his entourage approached a turn along their path when Biden broke from the pack to engage the crowd.
As the first lady rode on, the president could be seen coming to a full stop where, after placing one foot on the ground, he appeared to lose his balance before going down and landing on his right shoulder.
“I’m good,” the president insisted after members of the United States Secret Service rushed to the aid of the 79-year-old commander-in-chief. The bicycle was moved out of the way before Biden was helped to his feet.
He explained to reporters, “I got my foot caught up.”

This ride turned out to be a bit more eventful than expected. @POTUS fell off his bike — he said he got his foot caught — but quickly got up and chatted with the pool and Delaware bystanders. He said he will talk to Xi soon and is in the process of making up his mind on tariffs. pic.twitter.com/PDcHJmCxsC

Following the fall, the president fielded a few questions and explained he would be having a conversation with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the near future. As Jenny Leonard from Bloomberg News described, “He said he will talk to Xi soon and is in the process of making up his mind on tariffs.”
Some time after the incident occurred, a White House official issued a statement that corroborated the president’s explanation of his foot being stuck in the bike’s toe cage.

“As the President said, his foot got caught on the pedal while dismounting and he is fine,” the statement detailed. “No medical attention is needed. The President looks forward to spending the rest of the day with his family.”

As previously reported, the president and first lady were spending the weekend in Delaware as part of a celebration of their 45th wedding anniversary and for Father’s Day. During a previous discussion with reporters, Biden had reiterated his position that he was not to blame for the current economic woes stating, “Isn’t it kind of interesting? If it’s my fault, why is it the case in every other major industrial country in the world that inflation is higher? You ask yourself that? I’m not trying to be a wise guy.”
In response to the president’s well-established finger-pointing, particularly to Russian President Vladimir Putin for whom he has dubbed spiking gas prices “Putin’s price hike,” some reacted to Biden’s fall wondering if he would lay the blame on the foreign leader for that as well.

As would be expected, a partisan debate was sparked by the incident as people argued over the disparate treatment of political figures, such as former President Donald Trump, by corporate media.
Only in America regardless of the side would people take pleasure in seeing this happen to their President.

Libs will find a way to bring up trump in the comments

Twisted? Bro y’all wanted to impeach the last guy over how he drank water obviously we are going to make fun of him for not knowing how to ride a bike

Others took a more sensible approach to differing opinions on seeing the president fall during his bike ride proving that, after it was reported the president was unharmed, the incident could be regarded as both concerning and amusing without devolving into an argument.
Like all jokes aside and no grifting.
he is 79 and that fall could be dangerous to him.— Sperit (@SperitB) June 18, 2022
Instead of defending Biden and then deflected to trump for some reason you could have a chuckle and move on. It’s really not a big deal that he fell but it’s going to get talked about today.

Running the country is like falling off of a bike. “I got my foot caught up.” (you know…on the thing). Do you mean “On the ground” Sir? “..why is it the case in every other major industrial country in the world that inflation is higher? You ask yourself that?” I’ve asked myself and I can only come up with 2 not only plausible but likely causes: 1) Your abysmal approach to American energy production has led to shortages all around the known world which translates to higher fuel prices which are baked-into EVERYTHING. 2) Flooding the economy with Trillions of U.S. Dollars has weakened our currency which means it now takes more of that currency for essentially the same good or service. Being that oil is traded in U.S. Dollars; you get the double-whammy of higher oil prices exacerbated by a weaker U.S. Dollar. Adding to the top 2 reasons, commodities prices as a result of YOUR Executive Orders making everything from lumber to mining of every sort to allowing Putin to invade Ukraine (thus putting > 75% of the Middle East’s grain supply) among countless other commodities’ supplies in question has caused prices to skyrocket. Or, the Orange Man did all of this behind your back after WARNING EVERYONE of EACTLY what was going to happen! The fact is, those of us who follow global finance knew he was spot-on when he predicted what we are experiencing presently and we hedged against your pathetic leadership. Now dust yourself and get back on that bike!
I understand Brandon was following his poll #s and took off after them.
It’s a shame the corrupt, hair-sniffing perv didn’t die.
Let’s see. We have the 2nd Amendment, the Right to Bear Arms. So why does this man have to plead guilty? Should he not be protected by the Constitution. Oh, wait. That was when we had a gubment responsible to the citizens and not Peloser, Schitt, Nadler, AOC. The list is 534 names long (sans Rand Paul).
It’s never funny to watch a special needs person fall. But Joe Biden, hahaha haha! Break a leg!! #FJB
Foot got caught up?!! LOL! Dumbass, FELL off his bike. Poor Dementia PEDO Joey! What really happened was, he saw a CHILD in the crowd and got too excited.
ROTF LMFAO!!! So true
It kind of reminded me of the skit from Laugh-In, where the old man falls off the park bench. Apparently, Biden must have fallen asleep before he got both feet on the ground.
Another lie from Brandon (surprise!) Many other countries have lower inflation rates than ours. Nobody in the MSM challenged this statement, of course.
The nerve of Putin to take the training wheels of little Joey’s bike.
What a buffoon.
Someone told him that being President was as easy as riding a bike! Turns out he is not good at either of them.
Yes, let’s blame it on Putin, Xi, Merkel, Macron, everybody. Slo Joe should retire for the good of humanity.
Right. He got his foot caught up. It was in his mouth at the time.
i used the word k-ill in a sentence about voting against a bill and BPR flagged it as inappropriate. How is it they can’t flag all of these scammers on the site?
Putin did this , that rascal. He brought all this grief unto the USA .
Now his foot gets stuck . Putin did it .
Gas ,taxes ,food , formula, tampons ,border wall stopped , millions of aliens .
Killings ,crime , people still behind enemy lines in Afghanistan.
Putin did it .
Afghanistan swept under the carpet like Benghazi by the C&NT killery .
Fkjbiden is such a demented AHOLE.
Mid Terms are a coming , Big Red Wave !
Crap, he survived.
They’re in Delaware to celebrate their anniversary? Whatever 🙄. They’re there every weekend, anniversary or not, so what’s the excuse for the other 51 weekends?
Damn Republican bike!
sorry, I got confused, was thinking Bumbles already took that fall, but it was fumbling John some years back.- you know the one that faked wounds, got medals, left v-nam got early out, widow of RET/DAV/USA
Yep. One of America’a ‘pre imminent’ hero’s. Also did a tour with deep sea navy, but couldn’t run as just a Nam vet without any hero medals, so used political connections to rape his shipmates out of their due turn for deployment to jump line and grab a second tour so he could get hit three purple Kerry’s and cut his tour short. Had a guy in my outfit rates 7. I was there for 4 of them. None were paper cuts. He spent hospital time each time. Went AWOL out of hospital in Phu Bai to return to the unit.
Pedal must have gotten tangled up in all that golden hair on his legs.
thought bumbles already did that…oh wait, no that was JohnTheBabbler….! widow of RET/DAV/USA
The only bike a 79 year old fart should be on is a stationary bike.
And attached to monitors.
and a leash and muzzle widow of RET/DAV/USA
Brandon needs a new trike.
He’s so incompetent, he’d fall off a stationary bike as well.
Did putin do it to him? bidump shouldn’t be socializing and playing with the puter and xi!
Do you suppose that that was Obama’s old bike?
I think that Xiden has now proven that he’s ready for a motorcycle.
He was obviously tired from working Part Time as President F M UP and fell on his never ending Vacations and time outs!!!
Russian interference is the only reason our Great Biden fell again. And he only fell a little bit, the video is Russian disinformation, altered. Only Trumpians believe that Biden fell. Nothing to see here, it’s all lies.
It’s Trump’s fault!
The video shows he was not even moving when he fell off his bike. This was more entertaining than him falling up the stairs of Air Force1. Let’s go brandon. FJB
Now imagine if you would Trump falling off a bike. You acrimonious Libs would have a field day wishing him I’ll will and hoping he was badly injured. Your indignation at comments made by conservatives is deliciously ridiculous. You people on the left are shamefully self unaware.
So much for the old saw that “it`s as easy as riding a bike”. Is there anything that this doddering dementia patient can get right?
I don’t know for sure, but he seems to have mastered the arts of tripping and tipping over.
Well…he lies like a champ. Got that down to a science, he does.
I just removed training wheels from my Granddaughter’s bike. Seems Old Man Biden may need to try some. He is a disgrace.
I was going to say Dr Jill took his training wheels off too soon. Where are his elbow and knee pads? Maybe she should invest in a side car and have the SS chauffeur his decrepit butt around.
I heard Dr, Jill is going to get one of those little Pull behind Carts for the little Kids. Just put his Pacifier and Bottle in it with him. Make sure his Diaper gets changed as well!!!
Or he could do what his favorite Sec of Trans does and have his bicycle delivered, then tell everyone you rode it. Liars all.
