Donald and Melania Trump appeared at the UN General Assembly in New York, where Trump delivered a one-hour speech—reportedly the longest by a U.S. president at the UN. During his address, the teleprompter failed, prompting Trump to quip, “Whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.”
Earlier, as the couple rode an escalator inside the UN, it suddenly stopped. Trump later joked about the incident, saying, “If the First Lady wasn’t in great shape, she would’ve fallen.” The White House called for an investigation, suspecting it may have been deliberate, though the UN said a safety mechanism was accidentally triggered.
Melania, who rarely appears publicly, was praised by Trump for her fitness. Reports suggest she follows a strict regimen involving Pilates, tennis, and ankle weights—though experts say structured strength training would be more effective for long-term health.
