‘SABOTAGE?’: Video Shows UN Escalator Abruptly Stopping As Donald And Melania Trump Step On

An unexpected scene at the United Nations headquarters is drawing attention after an escalator abruptly stopped working just as President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it Tuesday morning. The sudden halt caused Melania to momentarily lose her balance, forcing her to grab the rails to steady herself.

The incident was caught on video, and speculation immediately began circulating online about whether this was a simple mechanical failure or something far more intentional. Observers quickly noted the timing: the escalator stopped precisely as the Trumps boarded, with some pointing out that Trump’s teleprompter also went dark earlier in the day right as he began his speech to the 80th session of the U.N. General Assembly.

The escalator drama came against the backdrop of a combative speech by Trump before world leaders. He denounced global climate policy, calling climate change “the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world,” while slamming European carbon-cutting measures and touting America’s embrace of fossil fuels.

On migration, Trump delivered some of his most forceful remarks yet, accusing the United Nations of enabling globalist failures and uncontrolled migration. “Your countries are going to hell,” he told delegates, urging them to close borders and expel foreign nationals fueling instability.

WATCH:

He also issued a blunt warning to drug traffickers, referencing recent U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean. Despite the sharp rhetoric, Trump held a bilateral meeting with U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres, where the White House later said he reaffirmed limited U.S. support for certain U.N. peacekeeping efforts.

The tone of the speech mirrored recent administration policy shifts away from global climate and health commitments, doubling down on national sovereignty over multilateral deals. European leaders and climate-focused states are already signaling diplomatic pushback, while Trump’s allies are hailing his unapologetic defense of sovereignty and border enforcement.
