So, I just read this crazy article called “Biden’s fall at Air Force commencement draws concern, mockery: ‘This isn’t fair to anyone’.” The title pretty much says it all, but in case you missed it: Biden tripped and stumbled while walking up the stairs of Air Force One. And of course, everyone on the internet had a field day with it.
According to the article, people are worried about Biden’s health and whether or not he’s fit to be president, which honestly seems a little extreme to me. I mean, the guy tripped - it happens! Plus, the article goes on to explain that previous presidents have had similar moments, like George W. Bush and Gerald Ford.
But what really caught my attention was the idea of fairness. As the article mentions, some people are upset that the media is focusing on this trip rather than more important issues. To me, that’s a valid point. There are plenty of things going on in the world that deserve more attention than a simple stumble.
Overall, I think this article highlights the importance of keeping things in perspective. Sure, Biden fell, but it’s not the end of the world. There are bigger fish to fry. Plus, let’s be real - we’ve all stumbled and fallen before. It’s not a big deal.
