Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were forced to walk up an escalator shortly before the incident that occurred shortly before his speech to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.

Trump made fun of the escalator and a “bad” teleprompter during his speech, appearing to ignore the incident at the time.

Trump later made a dramatic change, branding the incidents “three very sinister events” and claiming that the US Secret Service had become “involved.”

“It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t face first and fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps.” Only being tightly held by us as individuals would have prevented a disaster, Trump wrote.

According to an article in The Sunday Times that claimed UN staff had previously made up jokes about closing off escalators to humiliate the US president, Trump called the incident “absolutely sabotage.”

“The people who did it ought to be detained”! Trump authored .

Trump also claimed that the audience couldn’t hear anything unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces during his speech because the sound system was “completely off” during the speech.

The incidents, which Trump called “unacceptable” and “symptomatic of a broken institution that pose serious safety and security risks,” were described as “unacceptable” and “symptomatic of a broken institution that pose serious safety and security risks, according to US ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz.

Trump’s most recent claims were not immediately received by a UN spokesperson.

According to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, the escalator malfunction may have been caused by a videographer accidentally activating the emergency stop function on Tuesday.
