Was The Escalator ‘Failure’ At The UN A Pre-Meditated Snub Against The POTUS?
Isn't it crazy how the London Times told a story about this just one day earlier...

Just one day earlier, the London Times talks about the escalator at the UN accidentally-on-purpose failing to make a political point and then he shows up and … well wouldja look at that!
Wild of the Times to report on a nutty conspiracy theory even BEFORE it really happened, isn’t it?
Let’s go back to the beginning. Yesterday was the day for Trump’s big address to the United Nations. Right off the top in his speech, he called out two ‘malfunctions’ he had encountered since he arrived. First, the elevator ‘malfunctioned’ while he and the First Lady as soon as they stepped on it. Second, was the teleprompter mysteriously not working… until it did partway through his speech.
Undaunted, he used both as part of the framing of the UN’s own poor judgment and failure to get things done properly. If it was an attempt to fluster him or make him screw up his speech, it backfired.
Here they are on the escalator. Watch as it immediately comes to an unexpected stop once they step foot on it.
Communist UN staffers intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady got on.
He should announce tomorrow a 100 million dollar cut for this stunt.

It was apparently an attempt to humiliate him.
If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately.

Later, Leavitt was a guest on Jesse Watter’s show and had made another little discovery… someone working the AV dampened the ambient sound levels in the room when Trump took the mic.
🚨 BREAKING: The US Secret Service just launched an INVESTIGATION into the United Nations escalator suddenly stopping as soon as President Trump and Melania stepped on it, Karoline Leavitt confirms.

And imagine that… a Biden official on MSNBC just ‘happened’ to utter the very same talking points. State Department’s Spokesman Ned Price, no less.
Fmr Biden State Dept Spokesman Ned Price echoed the same language today on MSNBC:
"I imagine one of the reasons that escalator stopped is because his administration has withheld hundreds of millions of dollars in funding." https://t.co/2VHJrlQ9Qv pic.twitter.com/IwwDC4fIGx

Gee. What ARE the chances?
It’s prompted the obvious question we’ve already heard from so many — why do taxpayers fund these useless and ungrateful clowns, anyway?
