President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to allege triple sabotage, including his escalator mishap, at the United Nations General Assembly. The president declared that he would write to the United Nations Secretary-General and demand an investigation and arrest of all those involved. After an inquiry, however, the UN found it was just a routine safety measure.
Trump’s statement on Truth Social was hardly surprising this time, as the White House Press Secretary and Fox News had already been echoing similar claims. But the president managed to up the ante with his theorizing about what might have happened on the escalator had he and First Lady Melania Trump not been “holding the handrail tightly.”
