Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe fell down some steps on Wednesday afternoon after speaking to some supporters upon a return from Ethiopia. On his way down the steps, he appeared to miss one, resulting in the tumble, and awkward post-tumble pose. Given that he celebrates his 91st birthday in just about two weeks, he should be commended for how quickly he recovered and got safely into his limousine.
But not before Twitter has some laughs at his expense. Check out some of the best tweets below:

Hopefully the President either has a good sense of humor, or doesn’t have a Twitter account. Be safe on those steps out there!
