Watch Trump Nearly Trip Down Stairs Before UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson Saves Him
The U.S. and Britain will work out a “very big trade deal” once the U.K. has left the European Union, President Trump said Sunday morning in France, where Trump and other leaders have gathered for the G-7 summit.
The president also praised new British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Brexit during their working breakfast on the second day of the summit.
“He needs no advice. He’s the right man for the job,” Trump said.
The president appeared to slight former Prime Minister Theresa May – who he had frequently criticized – by adding that Johnson is “a new person.”
Johnson, meanwhile, congratulated Trump on his handling of the U.S. economy, but added, “just to register a faint, sheeplike note of our view on the trade war, we’re in favor of trade peace on the whole.”

Johnson had told British reporters before the meeting that he would ask Trump not to escalate the U.S. trade hostilities with China.
Sunday’s meeting was their first since Johnson succeeded May as prime minister in July.
Johnson also seemed to rescue Trump, as they were walking down the stairs, when Trump nearly tripped.
Trump is reportedly afraid of stairs.

Twitter had a field day:
Ugh; too bad. He has to take a break mid way because he is out of shape, then again at the bottom, trying to use an intro to Johnson to catch his breath. Not fooling me. He is fat and out of breath. @potus @realDonaldTrump #impeachdonaldtrumpnow @SpeakerPelosi https://t.co/Row2RXXpp5

Dementia Alert- Trump nearly falls down a flight of stairs b4 Boris Johnson, posing as a handrail, saves him. His balance issue is obvious & will continue to worsen-as noted here last yr. His balance deficit is a classic symptom of the PSP form of FTD. https://t.co/Kg2zsstsgB
