US President Donald Trump has called for an "immediate investigation" into what he claims was "triple sabotage" during his United Nations visit, citing multiple incidents including a stopped escalator and malfunctioning teleprompter. In a post on his social media platform, Trump demanded answers from U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, stating, "A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations."

 

Trump alleges that as he and Melania were using the escalator, it abruptly halted, posing potential danger.

 

He attributes the incidents to sabotage and referenced a post in The London Times about UN workers jokingly discussing turning off an escalator. Additionally, Trump claimed that his teleprompter malfunctioned for the first 15 minutes of his speech and that the audio was turned off during his address to the General Assembly. The U.N. has denied any deliberate foul play, explaining that a safety feature might have caused the escalator to stop.

 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt expressed dissatisfaction with the U.N.'s explanations, calling for an investigation into the escalator incident. She mentioned that the Secret Service is also looking into the situation. Despite the U.N.'s statement that the escalator's safety mechanism was triggered by a videographer, Trump insisted that security tapes be preserved, especially those concerning the emergency stop button.

 

 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

• Trump insists on an investigation into alleged sabotage during his UN visit.
• The U.N. attributes the escalator incident to a safety feature, denying foul play.
• White House remains unsatisfied, seeks further investigation.

It’s been said many times, ‘everything Trump touches dies’.

 

Is he jinxed or is paranoia getting the better of him?

They should move the UN HQ Africa. 

Donald's lift doesn't go to the top floor either🤔

It was reported that the escalator checked out fine and that it was trump's own videographer that hit the emergency stop button by accident. But of course the Republicans will try to spin their own stupidity to look like it was Democrat terrorists.

Bingo same with the teleprompter he’s just a big fat snowflake.

Maybe these acts of God are a warning to Trump - behave or I shall send you to the Devil, for eternity.

Maybe it was from an anonymous source who overheard it from an obese guy dressed like a furry.  Now that pretty much as official as you can get. 😉

“It was reported that” implies you have something factual to say. 99% of the posts here are misinformation you are taking it to the next level with your reddit nonsense

Oh well then that must make it fact doesnt it!

He seems more upset about the escalator than he was about that bleeding ear incident last year.

The poor man, each day brings another tale of woe. 

 

Trump’s UN ‘triple sabotage’ is pure kabuki.
A smokescreen to hide his own real triple sabotage of,
Prices, Peace in Ukraine, and, more importantly, the Epstein files.
The kicker: both sabotages are self-inflicted, as only he alone can do.

 

 

To summarize; Trump's own people stopped the escalator and were operating the teleprompter. Trump blamed the UN for the incidents Trump's people caused.

Funny isnt it how certain events merit in depth immediate investigation (escalators at the UN), whereas others (notably anything to do with Epstein) are ignored!

 

Release the files tapes.

Well, the ear grew back, the ketchup blood stains washed out. The escalator, well escalators (golden or not) do have a certain resonance.

 

Probably did not enjoy watching Malamia walking up the stairs in front of him either, reminded him rather of what he is missing!

I thought the third thing was  the phone jamming threat...but no one here seems to know/or care about that..

Possibly what you thought isn’t anything anyone really wants to know — or care about.
The reality — and sadly, the reason why some here have you on ignore.
