Donald Trump calls for investigation over “sinister events” at the UN

While serious matters were discussed when Donald Trump spoke to the General Assembly at the UN earlier this week, it was something else that stole the headlines. Donald and Melania Trump got ‘stuck’ as the escalator stopped working the moment they stepped onto it. But while some took it lightly, Trump has now called the hiccup a “disgrace,” demanding an investigation..

When Donald Trump spoke at the UN headquarters in New York City, his teleprompter stopped working. But by the end of the day, the teleprompter wasn’t the only malfunction that crossed Trump’s path.

The president was joined by Melania Trump at the UN, but as they were heading up an escalator in the building, it suddenly stopped. Both Donald and Melania looked over their shoulders to ask what had happened, and afterward, the White House was unhappy.

Early reports claimed the White House called for an investigation into whether the escalator was stopped on purpose to humiliate him. Moreover, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that there would be “accountability” if it were found to have been intentional.

At the same time, the UN stated that the malfunction was caused by a safety mechanism being inadvertently activated.

Now, Donald Trump has had his say, and it’s not a joyful reaction. Writing on Truth Social on Wednesday, he claimed there was a “triple sabotage” of his speech at the General Assembly.
