The Biden team had been trying to reduce Joe Biden's possibility of tripping by having him use the short stairs more when coming and going onto Air Force One. 

They've also reportedly been having him wear different footwear to prevent slipping, and have him doing physical therapy with "proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers." It wasn't clear what those "maneuvers" encompassed, and some raised questions. 

"I have never heard the term 'proprioceptive maintenance maneuvers.' It is not a clinical term in standard use," said Professor James Gordon, associate dean and chair of the Division of Biokinesiology and Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California.

But it's Joe Biden, so there's always a whole lot of malarkey going on. 

Supposedly they're terrified he's going to take a big tumble and have a truly bad fall in the weeks leading up to the election. 

I don't know what they're doing, but shoes, exercises, and the short stairs didn't prevent Biden from slipping again on Tuesday as he got off the plane in Michigan to go to the UAW strike. Watch his elbow, as he can't even make it down the short stairs without an issue. 

Biden nearly loses his footing — even as he uses the short stairs to avoid such situations — as he exits AF1 in Michigan.

Here's another angle.

You can see if he had taken a fall from where he slipped onto the concrete of the airport, he could have been seriously injured if he hit his head. 

They have to be freaking out, knowing that he's at constant risk of this. When you see it keep happening, you know it's an issue. But instead of addressing it by just admitting he's too old and out of it, and telling him to resign and not run again, they prefer to put him and our country at risk. They're more concerned about holding onto power than about what's best for him or the country. 

They can't change his issues. He's 80, and his mind is going. He has a gait problem, which is contributing to the tripping. You can't manufacture a new mind and put it in him or change that medical problem. You can't roll back the odometer on Biden like you might on a car, especially when the car wasn't great to begin with. And if this had been former President Donald Trump, you know we would be hearing how this makes him unfit 24/7, as we did when he just walked slowly down a ramp. He didn't have all these issues Biden does. 

People didn't think much of the Biden team strategy, with some talking about the shoes and others suggesting maybe the time has come for the chair seat.

But all that just adds to the sense that he's not up to running again.
