Trump Jr. shares edited video showing father knocking Biden down with golf ball
Donald Trump Jr. on Friday shared an edited video showing his father knocking down President Biden with a golf ball.
The 9-second clip begins with former President Trump on a golf course hitting a ball before cutting to footage of Biden from Friday when he stumbled twice on the stairs while boarding Air Force One for a trip to Georgia, with the edited video showing a golf ball hitting his head each time.
Trump Jr. shared the video with the caption “it wasn’t the wind, folks.”

After Biden’s stumble, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield and deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre both said the president was OK, waving off any concerns.
Still, the video was widely circulated on the right. The former president often questioned physical and mental Biden’s stamina during the 2020 presidential campaign.
Trump Jr. shared the full clip earlier on Friday with the caption: “I remember the press bashing Trump for touching the rail once. Biden falls repeatedly but I’m sure he’s the picture of health. No wonder all our enemies are pouncing simultaneously and mocking him publicly.”
