In the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, Donald Trump claimed that three incidents occurred against him—the escalator suddenly stopping, the teleprompter shutting off during his speech, and the auditorium's sound cutting out. He termed this a pre-planned conspiracy.
UN: Former President Donald Trump, who is always in the spotlight of American politics, is once again at the center of controversy. This time, the reason is the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Trump claims that during this session in New York, three major incidents continuously occurred against him, which he considers not as mere technical glitches but as a pre-planned conspiracy. He publicly shared these incidents on social media, stating that it was not only dangerous for him but also against American prestige.
Trump presented his views very sharply. He clearly stated that all this could not be mere coincidence. Whether it was the escalator suddenly stopping, the teleprompter malfunctioning, or the sound cutting out in the auditorium—all these incidents occurring simultaneously point towards a major conspiracy. Let's find out in detail what exactly happened with Trump at the United Nations.
First Incident: The Escalator Suddenly Stopped
Donald Trump stated that to reach the main speech venue of the UN General Assembly, he had to use an escalator. But as soon as he ascended it with his wife, Melania Trump, the escalator suddenly stopped abruptly. Trump said that it happened so suddenly that it could have cost him and Melania their lives.
In Trump's words—"It was an extremely dangerous situation. We could have fallen face-first onto the sharp edges of the steel stairs. We only survived because we held onto the railing firmly."
He further added that this was not just a normal technical glitch, but a deliberate act. Trump referenced a report from a British newspaper, the London Times, which stated that some UN employees were joking about shutting down the escalator. Trump sternly stated that such individuals should be immediately arrested.
Second Incident: Teleprompter Shut Down During Speech
After the escalator incident, Trump thought everything would be fine now. But according to him, the real challenge was yet to come. When he arrived on the UN stage and began addressing millions of viewers worldwide and top leaders present in the hall, his teleprompter stopped working.
Trump said—"I was standing there, and suddenly the words disappeared from the screen. I thought to myself, first the escalator and now the teleprompter, what on earth is happening?"
However, Trump turned this into an opportunity to prove his strength. He began delivering his speech without a teleprompter and spoke entirely extemporaneously for a full 15 minutes. Later, his speech was lauded in many places. Trump stated that very few leaders could do this, but he demonstrated that he could.
Third Incident: Auditorium Sound Cut Out
Trump mentioned the most shocking incident last. He recounted that when he finished his speech and sat down, he discovered that the sound system in the auditorium was completely off. This meant that most world leaders had not heard his speech at all.
He explained—"When I asked Melania how I spoke, she said she couldn't hear a single word I uttered. Because the sound was off. It's truly shameful that a platform like the United Nations allows such technical malfunctions to occur."
Trump emphasized that this was not a technical issue but a deliberate act to prevent his message from reaching the world.
"This Is No Coincidence, Shame on Them": Trump's Accusation
Recounting all three incidents, Trump stated that it would be incorrect to consider them mere accidents or technical malfunctions. According to him, all of it was part of a conspiracy. He wrote on social media—"This is all a sign of a major conspiracy. The United Nations should be ashamed of this. I am sending a written report of this entire incident to the Secretary-General and demand an immediate investigation."
Trump also said that all safety tapes on the escalator, especially the emergency stop button, should be investigated. He clarified that the US Secret Service is thoroughly investigating the entire matter.
Why is the UN's Credibility Being Questioned?
The United Nations has always been seen as a platform for resolving global problems and fostering international peace. However, in recent years, its role and impartiality have been questioned numerous times. A prominent leader like Donald Trump publicly claiming that he was "conspired against" on the UN stage further challenges the organization's credibility.
