""A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!" Trump wrote in a Wednesday Truth Social post. "This wasn't a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves No wonder the United Nations hasn't been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do.""
"Video of the incident, which some are calling "Escalatorgate," shows them walking up the rest of the stairs while holding onto the handrails. A short while later, as Trump took the podium to begin his remarks, he observed that his teleprompter wasn't working. He said he didn't mind, adding that "I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble," which drew laughs from the crowd."
President Trump alleged a 'triple sabotage' at the United Nations after encountering three problems during his visit: an escalator that stopped, a malfunctioning teleprompter, and sound system issues. The escalator stopped seconds into the ride behind first lady Melania Trump, forcing them to climb stairs while holding the handrails. Video of the stoppage circulated under the nickname "Escalatorgate." Trump claimed sabotage on social media and demanded an investigation, while the U.N. placed at least partial blame on the White House for the mishaps. Trump proceeded to deliver a nearly hour-long speech attacking climate science and criticizing European immigration policies.
