President Donald J. Trump Denounces Sabotage During UN General Assembly and Demands Immediate Investigation

President of the United States Donald J. Trump reported a series of serious incidents that occurred during his participation at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, describing them as “a total disgrace” and a “triple sabotage.”

In a post on his social media platform Truth, the President wrote:

“Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator leading to the main floor stopped abruptly. Melania and I could have suffered a very serious accident if we hadn’t been holding onto the railing tightly. Second, the teleprompter simply did not work — it was completely dark. And third, after the speech, I was informed that the sound in the hall had been completely shut off, so world leaders could not hear a word unless they were using the translators’ headsets. This was not a coincidence. This was sabotage.”

President Trump also referenced a report from The London Times, published the day before, which cited UN staffers “joking about shutting down an escalator.” He pointed to this as further evidence of intentional sabotage.

“The people who did this should be arrested. I am sending a formal letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations demanding an immediate investigation. All escalator security tapes must be preserved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is already involved.”

The President labeled the incidents “shameful” and stressed that such failures undermined the credibility of the United Nations.

“It is no wonder the United Nations has failed to fulfill the mission it was created for. The world deserves answers.”
