‘You’re Not Safe’: Lipreaders Reveal Chilling Conversation Between Trump, Melania After Escalator Scare

An urgent conversation between President Donald Trump and Melania has left observers speculating about what the power couple may have been discussing following a snafu with an escalator at the United Nations General Assembly this week.

Part of the private conversation may have included a warning from Trump to his wife about her safety, according to two lipreaders who tried to interpret video of the exchange.

What appeared to be a heated argument — complete with finger-waving gestures — was actually their recollection of the moment Trump and Melania boarded an escalator at the U.N. gathering in New York, only for it to halt to a stop seconds later. Cameras clicked and shutters snapped while U.S. Secret Service agents guided the pair up the frozen stairway.

Some wondered whether the stress of returning to the White House has been too much for Melania to bear, comparing it to the face-shoving moment between French president Emmanuel Macron and his wife earlier this year.

“From my interpretation, I don’t think Donald Trump was having a go at Melania Trump — but at the shenanigans at the UN,” said forensic lip reader Jeremy Freeman, an expert who has testified in open court.

Freeman told the Daily Mail that he believes Melania said in the moment that Trump “just continued” up the escalator after it stopped working, causing her to fear that her husband isn’t taking more possible threats on his life seriously.

“It was unbelievable. How can you do that?” Trump allegedly replied, according to the lipreader.

“Donald, look at me,” she replies before the pair exits the helicopter holding hands.

Trump and his aides have called for the arrest of possible U.N. pranksters who, a report suggested, were prepared to halt the elevator in a joke to make the U.S. president think the global governing body had run out of money right as he arrived for his speech.

“It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face-first,” Trump posted on social media following the incident. “It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster.”

A second British lip reader, Nicola Hickling, interpreted Trump to be telling his wife of 20 years that it was she who was actually in danger, the NY Post reported.

“I can’t forgive them, they tried to hurt you,” he says at one point, according to Hickling.

“We can’t do this, we should stay safe, you’re not safe,” she replied.

The president then responded: “They’re done. We must challenge them,” according to Hickling.
