"Which is why I couldn't help but laugh when he and Melania (she did not look pleased, probably thinking another dead end with this stinky guy) tried to ride an up escalator at the United Nations on Monday, only for it to grind to a sudden stop. It was a perfect metaphor. Trump is forever stalled in his quest to rise higher."
"From that ride down, the country was dragged into division, cruelty, and incompetence. He turned people against each other, botched the pandemic response, and unleashed a racist and dictatorial backlash to George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement. He even held a Bible upside down, indicative of a truly rock-bottom moment in American history. Related: It's Easter, and Trump spent Holy Week hawking a Bible He brought crooks, convicts, and into the White House (and some stuck around, like Stephen Miller)."
Donald Trump repeatedly pursues advancement through unethical and illegal means while failing to sustain success. Business ventures collapsed, including casino bankruptcies and disastrous investments, producing a consistent downward pattern. Public and political efforts mirror those failures, marked by legal threats, blame-shifting, and self-sabotage that prevent real ascent. An escalator incident at the United Nations served as a metaphor for persistent stalls. The 2015 Trump Tower descent initiated a period of national division, pandemic mismanagement, racial backlash after George Floyd protests, and symbolic low points such as holding a Bible upside down. The attempt to overturn the 2020 election culminated in the January 6 Capitol attack.
