UN: Trump's Team Broke Escalator, Teleprompter

The United Nations elevator that stopped and teleprompter that malfunctioned were the fault of Trump's team, a UN spokesperson said. A videographer with the president triggered the elevator's stop mechanism and the White House had the responsibility of operating the teleprompter during his remarks.

So, Pres Trump blaming others (again?) for his own failings?

In this case, I have concerns about the videographer who was seen walking up the escalator backwards to capture Pres Trump on video, and who apparently tripped the safety mechanism of the escalator.

Given Pres Trump's usual grief stormed upon those who do not make him look great, I have to feel for the fate of the videographer in this incident.

I heard from someone, somewhere, very reliable, you'd know them if I told you the name, but at the White House they've taken to using the freight elevators for hauling codename OLD LARDARSS around. No, you'd know the name. Bigly big and hugely important. Yup, freight elevators bejayzus.

This was triple sabotage!

Have they been arrested yet?

Send in the Escalator Investigator!
