Donald Trump, on Tuesday, was again spotted walking slowly and gingerly down the stairs of his plane.

“A video of the 79-year-old president exiting the plane at Palm Beach International Airport on Saturday morning, posted by MAGA influencer Paul Villarreal, has drawn attention online for Trump’s odd hand movement and slow, careful descent,” The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday.

“In the video, Trump appears at the aircraft door and slaps his right leg three times with his right hand before heading down the stairs. He cautiously navigates the steps while gripping tightly onto the railing, taking about 18 seconds to reach the bottom of the short staircase.”

It’s one of several instances in recent weeks and months, indicating that Trump is aging rapidly during his second term in office. One expert earlier this week said that the way Trump walks on stairs is a sign that the president is “losing nimbleness with age.”

The president is shown getting into the presidential limo, known as “The Beast,” and appearing to drink a Diet Coke.
Social media users had lots of comments about Trump appearing as though his leg had fallen asleep on the flight.
