President Donald Trump took to Twitter to explain what looked like a slow, unsteady descent of a ramp at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Saturday.
As video of the incident circulated widely on social media Saturday night, the president responded. The ramp “was very long & steep, had no handrail, and most importantly, was very slippery,” Trump tweeted.
