Internet reacts to Trump leaning on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for support
President Donald Trump appeared to need Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's help to climb a single step at the G7 family photo Tuesday in Évian-les-Bains, France. The White House's own Rapid Response account posted the clip of Trump with world leaders before a cultural showcase. The 80-year-old President had gingerly descended Air Force One stairs upon arriving in France, according to The Daily Beast. Trump previously told military generals he takes the stairs very slowly, careful not to fall. At a Navy anniversary address, Trump admitted, I have to be careful because one day I'm gonna probably fall. Video journalist Aaron Rupar captured the moment Trump seemingly clutched Modi for support. Indian media noted the assistance, with NDTV Senior Executive Editor Aditya Raj Kaul calling it, a great metaphor of the times we live in.
