Donald Trump Jr., the son of former President Donald Trump, was among those who opined on President Joe Biden falling off of his bike.
The president fell on Saturday when it appeared on video that his shoe got caught on a pedal when his bike was stationary, which caused him to fall.
Twitter users were quick to mock the fall.
“I’m just shocked they let him ride a bike without training wheels,” Trump Jr. said.
