A breakdown that becomes a matter of state. On Tuesday, September 23, when the US president and his wife arrived at the United Nations headquarters, in New York, the mechanical staircase in which they had suddenly advanced, causing the couple and assistance.
Melania and Donald Trump, after turning, looking suspicious, finally climbed the stairs on foot. The video has circulated largely on different social networks and caused a wave of reactions, certain commentators, and the White House, denouncing a deliberate act of sabotage that can affect the physical integrity of the president, others even evoke several conspiracy theories.
In his speech before the UN General Assembly, the US president has broken the point: “Everything he had of the United Nations is a mechanical staircase that, when climbing, stopped in the middle. If the first lady had not been in a great way, it would have fallen.”
“You have to send them back”
The sequence, which could have fun assistance or social networks, was also taken very seriously by the White House, which denounces an intentional act and loads US secret services to investigate. The White House spokesman requested “to return” immediately to anyone who would have caused the premature stop of a mechanical staircase when the arrival of Donald Trump to the United Nations headquarters in New York.
“If someone deliberately stopped the mechanical staircase when the president and the first lady took him, must be immediately returned and activate an investigation,” Karoline Leavitt asked in X.
For their part, the United Nations says that a member of the Donald Trump delegation has activated by mistake the stop of the mechanical staircase. “The security mechanism was inadvertently activated by someone in front of the president,” said Stéphane Durric, spokesman for the United Nations Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, indicating that the machine had been put into service.
He said later in a statement that this person was a cameraman of the White House. Before Trump’s couple, he was the other way around on the stairs and would probably have activated safety blocking the machine.
“It’s not a coincidence”
But the White House spokesman does not stop there. Under his message in X, Karoline Leavitt reproduced an excerpt from an article by the British newspaper The Times, according to which the United Nations employees joined the possibility of blocking the mechanical stairs and elevators when the US president arrived.
“When you meet all this,” he said later in Fox News, “it doesn’t seem like a coincidence.” “We look at the file and we will go at the end. And if we found that these UN employees were voluntarily trying to retain the president of the United States and the first lady, there is an interest in which they have to account.”
Donald Trump also deplored on Tuesday not having won with his real estate business a call of tenders in the 2000s for a renewal of the United Nations building, while offering “marble floors.”
“I said: ‘You will see cost beings,’ and was right,” said former New York businessman in the UN gallery. “Frankly, looking at this building, blocked on the mechanical staircase … the site has not finished.”
