Donald Trump calls for investigation over
UN Escalator Mishap
While Donald Trump spoke at the UN General Assembly, a technical hiccup stole headlines.
Trump and Melania Trump got stuck when the escalator suddenly stopped.
Videos show them stepping onto stairs instead, holding the handrail.
White House Reaction
The White House reportedly called for an investigation, questioning if the stoppage was intentional.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said there would be “accountability” if sabotage was found.
Trump’s Response
Trump described the incidents as “triple sabotage” on Truth Social, pointing to the escalator, teleprompter, and sound system.
“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!” he wrote.
UN Explanation
The UN stated the escalator malfunction was due to a safety mechanism being inadvertently activated.
Trump also noted, “All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle… And then a teleprompter that didn’t work.”
