PINO Trump doesn't like stairs.

Lately, he seems to be a bit unsteady on his feet. He staggered just a little at the top of the stairs from AF1 in Paris, and shuffled around when walking with Macron today. Then, remember that he had to take a golf cart back in Sicily, instead of walking with the other world leaders in attendance there.

I worry that he'll take a tumble down the stairs one of these days while deplaning. Maybe they need one of those motorized stair climbing elevators, so he can sit down and not risk a fall. It shouldn't cost more than a few million dollars to install one of those, I'd think. I wouldn't want he should stumble and fall, you know. An elevator on AF1. That's what Trump needs.

One of these days, Trump will unzip his face and body and reveal the reptilian space alien underneath. Then, the reality of what he is will be plainly evident.

over and over again, to prolong our viewing. Each roll will be analyzed by a "stair safety expert" discovered through a Google search. Prominent doctors will describe the injuries caused as they happen. Finally, prominent Republican congressional leaders will blame Hillary Clinton and/or President Obama for the entire incident.

We don't want to watch that, now, do we?

Donald Trump is the kind of evil bastard who would tell his wife, "if you leave me I will make sure you never see your son again as long as you live." And I have very little, if any, doubt he has done exactly that.

Lots of stairs.

Maybe he needs a stair lift chair.

PINO Trump, I'm careful about falling, myself, especially when I'm shoveling snow off my sidewalk in January. I even bought some cleats for my boots to help prevent that.

I don't like steep stairways a lot either, despite my office being in the basement of my house. I watch my step very carefully, indeed. And I'm probably somewhat more spry than is our Fake POTUS.

But I'm more careful now.

Never fell down the stairs, but managed to fall inmy dining room - breaking my shoulder in five places. Im very careful on stairs now lol, though I still ride my bike and climb a lot.

Somehow stairs scare me more than those activities. Go figure.

Any airport big enough for a 747 has one. Slap some red, white, and blue bunting on it and he's good to go. Also, since he wouldn't have to pay attention to where he puts his feet, he could concentrate on waving to the millions of assembled peons all the way down. Maybe even strike some manly-man poses, too.

Or even easier, just deploy the emergency slide and give him a little push.
