President Donald Trump has required an investigation into what he depicted as ‘triple sabotage’ at the United Nations General Assembly, as he shared about exactly what First Lady Melania Trump said to him after his fiery speech.
On Tuesday (September 23), the 79-year-old spoke for almost an hour at the UN General Assembly, grumbling that it was time for countries to ‘end the failed experiment of open borders’, and that surroundings continuing the practice were ‘going to hell’.
As well as insulting London mayor Sadiq Khan, the 47th POTUS used his platform to cripple UN efforts, celebrate his decision to fall back the US from the Paris climate agreement, and assumed that ‘so-called green, renewable energy’ was ‘destr0ying a large part of the free world and a large part of our planet’.
The bizarre speech also experienced Trump slamming the venue for offering a ‘bad teleprompter’ and a ‘bad escalator’, referring to an earlier incident that witness an escalator break down while he and his wife, Melania, 55, tried to climb.
“If the First Lady wasn’t in great shape, she would’ve fallen,” he joked in the speech.
After the meeting, Trump uploaded post, Truth Social, to publish his true feelings on the matter, calling the events ‘absolutely sabotage’.
“First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face-first,” he wrote.
“Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark.”
The third ‘sinister’ event that Trump asserted took place was that the ‘sound was off’ so people in the hall couldn’t hear him.
“World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing,” he alleged.
“The first person I saw at the conclusion of the speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.”
“This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.”
The Republican admitted that he would be sending a letter to the Secretary General, requesting an immediate investigation into the events of the day.
He added that all security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button, and that the Secret Service is involved.
The UN has since answered to Trump’s allegations, claiming the escalator likely stopped because of a White House videographer who ‘unintentionally sparked a safety mechanism’.
UN spokesman Stéphane Dujarric told NBC News that the built-in programme was ‘designed to prevent people or objects accidentally being caught and stuck in or pulled into the gearing’.
Despite shutting down the businessman’s claims of somebody at the UN intentionally shutting off the escalator, Dujarric has verified a ‘thorough investigation’ into all three of Trump’s complaints would take place.
