President Donald Trump’s recent visit to the United Nations turned into a spectacle of technical failures that he’s calling deliberate sabotage. What should have been a straightforward address to world leaders became a series of odd disruptions that raise eyebrows.
According to Breitbart, Trump took to Truth Social to vent his frustration, labeling the incidents as a “sinister” act of “triple sabotage.” The string of events during his time at the U.N. has fueled his demand for a full investigation.
First on the list of mishaps was a malfunctioning escalator that ground to a halt the moment Trump and First Lady Melania stepped onto it. “It stopped on a dime,” Trump wrote, noting how tightly gripping the handrail likely prevented a dangerous fall onto sharp steel edges.
The escalator breakdown was no minor inconvenience, as it could have resulted in serious injury to the President and First Lady. Trump’s account suggests a sudden and inexplicable failure that defies mere coincidence.
Adding to the chaos, Trump’s teleprompter failed for the first 15 minutes of his globally televised speech to world leaders. “It was stone cold dark,” he stated, forcing him to deliver his remarks without prepared text until the device finally kicked in.
While some might shrug off a technical glitch, speaking to millions without a script in front of international delegates is no small feat. This kind of disruption at such a critical moment smells of something more than bad luck.
The third strike came when Trump learned his speech wasn’t even audible in the auditorium where he delivered it. He noted that world leaders without interpreters’ earpieces couldn’t hear a single word he said.
After finishing, Trump asked Melania, seated upfront, for her thoughts, only to hear, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” For an event of this magnitude, a complete audio blackout in the room is beyond embarrassing; it’s suspicious.
One glitch could be chalked up to human error, maybe even two if you’re feeling generous. But three distinct failures, all targeting the same high-profile figure on the same day, strain credulity to the breaking point.
Trump didn’t hold back, declaring, “Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!” He’s called for arrests and an immediate investigation, pointing to a prior report in The London Times where U.N. workers allegedly joked about tampering with an escalator.
The idea that this was orchestrated isn’t far-fetched when you consider the timing and precision of each incident. If staff were openly jesting about such disruptions, it begs the question of what else might have been planned behind closed doors.
The Secret Service is reportedly looking into the matter, which lends weight to the seriousness of Trump’s accusations. While the U.N. hasn’t responded publicly, the President has sent a letter to the Secretary General demanding answers.
Let’s be clear: the United Nations isn’t exactly a bastion of trust for many Americans who see it as a bloated bureaucracy often at odds with U.S. interests.
When a leader like Trump, who’s already skeptical of globalist institutions, faces this kind of treatment, it only deepens the divide.
Sabotage or not, these incidents paint a picture of incompetence at best and malice at worst. Taxpayer dollars fund this organization, and if they can’t ensure basic functionality during a presidential visit, or worse, if they’re complicit in undermining it, then serious reforms are overdue.
