A Fiery Speech<\/h2>\n
On September 23, the 79-year-old spoke for nearly an hour at the UN. He blasted open borders as a \u201cfailed experiment\u201d and claimed countries supporting them were \u201cgoing to hell.\u201d He mocked London mayor Sadiq Khan, attacked the UN, and celebrated pulling the U.S. from the Paris climate deal. Trump also dismissed renewable energy as destructive.<\/p>\n
During the speech, he even complained about the venue, blaming a \u201cbad teleprompter\u201d and a broken escalator. \u201cIf the First Lady wasn\u2019t in great shape, she would\u2019ve fallen,\u201d he joked.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s List of Grievances<\/h2>\n
After the event, Trump turned to Truth Social to accuse the UN of sabotage. He outlined three incidents:<\/p>\n
- \n
- \n
The Escalator:<\/strong>\u00a0He said the escalator to the speaking floor \u201cscreeched to a halt,\u201d nearly throwing him and Melania forward.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
The Teleprompter:<\/strong>\u00a0He claimed the machine went completely dark as he began his address.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
- \n
The Sound System:<\/strong>\u00a0He alleged world leaders couldn\u2019t hear him unless they wore earpieces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
At the end of the speech, Trump said he asked Melania how he did. Her reply: \u201cI couldn\u2019t hear a word you said.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis wasn\u2019t a coincidence,\u201d Trump wrote. \u201cThis was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Calls for Action<\/h2>\n
Trump vowed to send a letter to the Secretary-General demanding an immediate investigation. He asked that security tapes, especially footage of the escalator\u2019s emergency stop button, be preserved. He added that the Secret Service was now involved.<\/p>\n
UN Pushes Back<\/h2>\n
UN spokesman St\u00e9phane Dujarric disputed the sabotage claims. He said the escalator likely stopped because a White House videographer triggered a built-in safety mechanism. The program, he explained, is designed to prevent accidents if someone gets caught in the gears.<\/p>\n
Still, Dujarric confirmed the UN will conduct a full review of all three of Trump\u2019s complaints.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
