Footage of former U.S. President Bill Clinton appearing frail just before the launch of his new book at a literary event in Manhattan, New York, has gone viral, raising concerns and sparking intense discussion on social media.
The 78-year-old former president was caught on video stumbling slightly as he exited a black vehicle and attempted to walk along the sidewalk outside the 92NY cultural center. Clinton had to steady himself with a cane as his left leg buckled momentarily, causing a brief stumble.
The incident, recorded by attendees and posted on the platform X (formerly Twitter), quickly went viral. Several users expressed concern over Clinton’s health, with some comparing his apparent physical instability to that of current President Joe Biden, citing visible fatigue and unsteadiness.
“Bill Clinton doesn’t look well,” one user wrote.
“He’s starting to stumble like Joe Biden,” commented another.
“He’s clearly in a fragile state,” noted a third, pointing out that Hillary Clinton allowed him to walk alone up to the event entrance.
