Trump Isn’t Letting U.N. Escalator Malfunction Go
The president is demanding an investigation into a series of incidents surrounding his United Nations visit that he’s calling “sabotage.”
First Lady Melania Trump is being heaped with praise for continuing to walk up an escalator after it stopped at the United Nations. Conspiracy theories and allegations have run rampant after the escalator stopped the moment President Donald Trump and the first lady stepped on it on Tuesday.
The United Nations said that it was President Donald Trump's own team that caused escalator issues that the president has complained about since his UN speech.
"This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN," Trump said in a social media post. "They ought to be ashamed of themselves."
