Joe Biden, the man who has made a habit of stumbling through both words and steps, was recently seen having an epic showdown with the sandy shores of Rehoboth Beach in Delaware. Fresh from attending church with the First Lady, Biden’s attempts to navigate the beach resembled a scene from a slapstick comedy, as he struggled mightily against the elements, prompting concerned gasps from the onlookers.
As he returned from his Sunday service, Biden was confronted with a pressing question about Donald Trump, who, despite being relegated to President-elect status, continues to loom large in the political landscape. In a jarring display of confidence—or perhaps denial—the president responded with a vague remark about meeting Trump on Wednesday, before quickly diving into a waiting vehicle like it was a lifeboat in a stormy sea.
Once on the beach, Biden’s legs appeared to engage in a tango with the sand, almost sending him crashing into the shoreline with each halting step. Observers noted that while Jill Biden seemed to walk the beach as if it were a stroll in the park, her husband was caught in a classic battle of man versus nature. Camerman from media outlets captured the moment of Biden’s struggle, with muffled warnings of “oh no” echoing through the crowd as the president nearly reclaimed his spot in the sand on multiple occasions.

Amidst the antics, Biden opted to ignore the press corps who were eagerly anticipating his commentary on the upcoming meeting with Trump. This latest evasion appeared to be just another instance of the president opting for silence over substance, which has become a hallmark of his administration. While Biden frequently faces a slew of awkward moments, avoiding questions seems to be among the few skills he consistently masters.
As Biden rounds out his solitary term, he has managed to woefully dodge yet another complete wipeout during his weekend jaunt. His history of tumbles had many holding their breath; the president is known for his ill-fated encounters with stairs, particularly his peculiar habit of tripping upwards on Air Force One. Not to mention the infamous biking mishap from 2022, where he came crashing down, proving once again that gravity has not been a fan of his presidency.
With a formal meeting scheduled at the Oval Office with Trump, Biden appears to be preparing for more than just political sparring. He may need a few tips on how to stay on his feet in front of the cameras. The anticipation around the lunch gathering has political junkies buzzing, and there’s likely to be no shortage of interest, especially considering the history these two have—a history that will undoubtedly play out in a fashion that may just steal the show, possibly with yet another tumble at the center of it all.
