He is doing 100 percent fine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump Jr. then pulled up a general weather report for Joint Base Andrews for Friday, showing that wind speeds were expected to average 14 miles per hour. He also pulled up a guide on wind speeds from the National Weather Service (NWS) showing that wind blowing 13 to 18 miles per hour is classified as a \u201cmoderate breeze.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWind moves small branches,\u201d the NWS description says. \u201cWind raises dust and loose paper from the ground and drives them along.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.5280898876404\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden Spox: Yea, the wind!!!

Friday\u2019s fall renewed concerns for the septuagenarian\u2019s health. White House Communications Director Kate Beddingfield popped onto Twitter shortly after Biden\u2019s fall to downplay its significance and reassure the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I\u2019m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him. Nothing more than a misstep on the stairs,\u201d Beddingfield said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump Jr. compared the media treatment of Biden\u2019s fall to former President Donald Trump grabbing a railing while walking down a ramp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember the press bashing Trump for touching the rail once,\u201d Donald Trump Jr. said. \u201cBiden falls repeatedly but I\u2019m sure he\u2019s the picture of health. No wonder all our enemies are pouncing simultaneously and mocking him publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s fall comes several months after he fractured his foot while allegedly chasing his dog after getting out of the shower. In explaining the incident later, Biden said he tripped over a throw rug.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happened was I got out of the shower. I got a dog and anybody who\u2019s been around my house knows \u2014 dropped, little pup dropped a ball in front of me. And for me to grab the ball,\u201d Biden said. \u201cAnd I\u2019m walking through this little alleyway to get to the bedroom. And I grabbed the ball like this and he ran. And I\u2019m joking, running after him and grab his tail. And what happened was that he slid on a throw rug. And I tripped on the rug he slid on. That\u2019s what happened.
