UN Blames President's Team for Malfunctions During UN Visit

During a recent visit to the United Nations, the U.S. President claimed to be a victim of a "triple deliberate sabotage." The incidents included malfunctions with an escalator, teleprompter, and audio system during his participation in UN activities. However, the UN attributed some of these issues to the President's own team.

On Tuesday morning, as the President and the First Lady entered the UN headquarters and stepped onto an escalator, it abruptly stopped. The President demanded the arrest of the individual allegedly responsible for triggering the escalator's halt. He also complained that the teleprompter went blank just as he was about to deliver his speech, and that the audio system in the UN General Assembly Hall failed during his address.

In a social media post, the President stated, "This is not a coincidence, but a triple deliberate sabotage that occurred at the UN. They should be ashamed. I will send a copy of this letter to the Secretary-General and demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the UN has always failed to fulfill its intended purpose."

In response, the UN spokesperson stated that the investigation into the escalator malfunction confirmed that it stopped due to a safety mechanism being triggered at the top. It was suggested that a photographer from the U.S. delegation, who had used the escalator before the President, might have inadvertently activated this safety feature.

UN officials also blamed the teleprompter malfunction on the President's team, stating that they had brought a laptop, connected it to the system, and loaded the speech. After the President's speech, the President of the UN General Assembly informed the audience that the UN teleprompter had functioned perfectly.

Regarding the audio issues, the spacious UN General Assembly Hall was designed with potential audio problems in mind. This design allows delegates from nearly 200 member countries to use translation headphones installed at each seat, enabling them to listen to speeches in their preferred language.

This incident highlights the complex dynamics and technical challenges that can arise during high-profile international events. The President's claims of sabotage, while dramatic, were met with a more pragmatic explanation from UN officials, who pointed to human error and technical limitations as the likely causes of the malfunctions. The situation underscores the importance of thorough preparation and the potential for misunderstandings in a global setting.
