SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA: Former President Donald Trump attributed his momentary wobble during his rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, to the stage contractor on Friday night.

A video capturing the incident was posted by the Biden-Harris HQ account on X, which is affiliated with President Joe Biden's reelection campaign.

In the clip, Trump leans on his podium and sways to the left while addressing his supporters, causing the lectern to move along with him, per Newsweek.



 

"You know, this is the worst platform," the 77-year-old MAGA figurehead said following the wobble. "Who put this stage up?"

"It keeps tilting further left," the 2024 presumptive GOP nominee added. "Like too many other things. What a crappy contractor this was."

What did the Biden campaign team make of this incident surrounding the former POTUS?

The Biden-Harris HQ account described Donald Trump as "feeble," writing in its post, "A feeble Trump nearly falls down on stage after he leans on his podium too hard and then goes on an angry rant calling his event workers 'crappy.'"

In addition to criticizing the 81-year-old incumbent president during the campaign rally, Trump also demanded that the commander-in-chief undergo a drug test before the upcoming presidential debate.

The ex-president previously indicated that Biden was "all jacked up" during his March State of the Union address.

"I just wanna debate this guy, but you know, I'm gonna demand a drug test too, by the way," Trump remarked, adding, "I am. No, I really am. I don't want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite."

Biden and Trump have both agreed to participate in two presidential debates, one to be hosted by CNN in June and the other by ABC in September.

Questions about President Biden's advanced age and physical capabilities have arisen since he has been observed tripping during public events.

Donald Trump, who will turn 78 in June, is also facing apprehensions surrounding his age and mental capabilities, which many believe to be “faltering.”

Voters and mental health experts have also cast doubts over both presidential candidates’ ability to run for the White House.
