President Trump Eviscerates the UN Amid Alleged Sabotage

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump arrived at the United Nations building in New York City and were met with a sudden “malfunctioning” escalator, catching them and his Secret Service detail by surprise. Following the escalator snafu, the teleprompter malfunctioned and the President’s microphone volume was reduced so his speech was barely audible.

From the stage, President Trump quipped, “All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that, on the way up, stopped right in the middle. If the First Lady wasn’t in great shape, she would have fallen. But she’s in great shape. We’re both in good shape. We both stood. And then a teleprompter. That didn’t work,” Trump said. “These are the two things I got from the United Nations. A bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.”

The president continued to eviscerate the UN in a speech that lasted for nearly an hour, despite being scheduled for 10 minutes.

• “In a period of just seven months, I have ended seven ‘un-endable’ wars… No President or Prime Minister — and for that matter, no other country — has ever done anything close to that… It’s too bad that I had to do these things instead of the United Nations doing them — and sadly, in all cases, the United Nations did not even try to help.” (Watch)
• “What is the purpose of the United Nations? The UN has such tremendous potential… All they seem to do is write a really strongly worded letter, and then never follow that letter up. It’s empty words — and empty words don’t solve war.” (Watch)
• “Everyone says that I should get the Nobel Peace Prize… but for me, the real prize will be the sons and daughters who live to grow up with their mothers and fathers because millions of people are no longer being killed in endless and un-glorious wars. What I care about is not winning prizes, it’s saving lives.” (Watch)
• “Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it is actually creating new problems for us to solve… The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders… The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them.” (Watch)

During an interview with Jesse Waters after the speech, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “The President took a sledgehammer to the globalist world order,” and added in a post, “If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately.”

Reportedly, the U.N has already completed their investigation, releasing the following statement this morning:

“The safety mechanism is designed to prevent people or objects accidentally being caught and stuck in or pulled into the gearing. The videographer may have inadvertently triggered the safety function described above. Our technician, who was at the location, reset the escalator as soon as the delegation had climbed up to the second floor. A subsequent investigation, including a readout of the machine’s central processing unit, indicated that the escalator had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator. The safety mechanism is designed to prevent people or objects accidentally being caught and stuck in or pulled into the gearing. The videographer may have inadvertently triggered the safety function described above.”
