Trump’s Escalator/Teleprompter Whines His Team’s Fault

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

Trump broke from his prepared remarks at the United Nations on Tuesday to bemoan an inoperable escalator and a defective teleprompter, using the incidents to portray the global body as dysfunctional. "All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle," he mused, chopping the air with his hand. But it turns out the cause was closer to Trump.

Stephane Dujarric, the U.N. spokesman, said a videographer from the U.S. delegation who ran ahead of him triggered the stop mechanism at the top of the escalator.

As he began his speech, Trump also noted that the teleprompter wasn't working. He joked that whoever was running the teleprompter "is in big trouble."

A U.N. official speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue contributed that one to his side as well, saying the White House was operating the teleprompter for the president.

Sweet fancy moses the outrage that the most healthy and fit president ever had to take the stairs!

Suck it up Cankles.

Oh how I wished I could have seen him trying to appear to not be gasping for air at the top of the stairs. Reminiscent of when he returned from his self inflicted near death COVID experience during his first term.

Hi Doc Sarvis: Morbid obesity certainly has its consequences. Dummkopf Trumpf's unsightly girth is straining not only HMX-1, but the UN escalator groaned in agony and froze. One wonders how the golf carts Trumpf drives manages.

Republicans sure picked an Olympian to be their President: i.imgflip.com

Most certainly China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) codeword for Dummkopf Trumpf is 'Chengse Eizhen' or 'Orange Earthquake': www.japantimes.co.jp

Yo, Corolianus ... On those golf carts, my guess is whatever is used to keep the guts of an M1 Abrams from spilling out across the ground.

#5: Might be a reinforced chassis and suspension underpinning the golf cart for Trumpf's girth, a girth which is only exceeded by his Narcissistic ego: static01.nyt.com
