Walking up the stairs on Air Force One is hard. Multiple presidents, including the last two, have stumbled while doing so. Donald Trump, who has mocked Joe Biden for his struggles with the stairs, stumbled in January, and at times has been spotted using the “small stairs” to the presidential plane.

At his rally in Kentucky on Tuesday, Trump got into a bizarre rant in which he mocked Barack Obama for the way he walked up the stairs when he was president.

“The only thing I admired about Barack Hussein Obama, which was nothing actually,” Trump said during the rally. “But the only thing is the way he was bob down the stairs. You talk about unpresidential. He’s bob– and I couldn’t believe that he made it without at least a noticeable major fall.”

Trump was appearing in Kentucky at a rally for Ed Gallrein, the Republican challenging Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), a Congressman who has bucked Trump on a wide variety of fronts, including the release of the Epstein files, the budget, and the Iran war.

Per The Hill, Trump spent plenty of time mocking Massie at the rally.

“He’s the worst,” Trump said a the Kentucky rally. “He only votes no. He just votes no. It doesn’t matter. I could give him the best things in the history of a Republican voter, and he’d vote no. There is something wrong with him.”

Gallrein, meanwhile, promised not to break with Trump.

“You deserve an authentic, true Republican conservative that stands shoulder to shoulder with our president and the Republican Party and against the Democrats who are trying to destroy our nation,” Gallrein said, per The Hill.

Also, celebrity Jake Paul appeared at the rally, and it appeared the crowd wasn’t familiar with him.

Massie, meanwhile, claimed that supporters had been bused into the rally.

“What they’ll discover is Trump fans in KY-4 and across the entire Commonwealth also support my work on the Epstein files, reigning in spending, ending forever wars, draining the swamp, and food freedom!,” he said on X.

There were some surprised reactions online to what Trump said about Obama:
