US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump ride moving stairs at the United Nations.
One of the elevators at the United Nations headquarters was suspended for a short period of time, Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump- an incident mentioned by the American president in his speech to the General Assembly, which quickly sparked a wave of conspiracy theories online. The stopping occurred when the American president and his wife entered the building through the entrance to the delegates and entered the main elevator to the second floor. A video photographer in the White House, who was walking back to photograph his arrival, had just reached the top when the elevator stopped.
The sudden station left Trump to be cut off before Melania Trump started climbing the fixed steps, with Donald Trump closely followed. Live broadcast and direct clips are distributed on social media, indicating the unusual scene of the American president, which raises the frozen elevator.
What Donald Trump said in the accident
Donald Trump referred to the accident several times during his speech to world leaders.
“All I got from the United Nations was safe, on the way, he stopped directly in the middle,” he said, drawing laughter from the hall. He added: “If she is not the first lady in good condition, she will have fallen. But she is in good condition. We have stood up.”
The American president also faced a short failure remotely during his speech, as he joked that the operator was “in a big problem” and that he was “speaking more than the heart.”
What the United Nations said on the bearing ladder
UN spokeswoman Stefan Dujarrik attributed the stoppage to the safety mechanism.
“The video may be inadvertently raised the safety function,” he said, explaining that the system is designed to prevent clothes or things from falling into the mechanism. The elevator was reset immediately after Trumps reached the second floor.
Internet conspiracy theories
Despite the interpretation, speculation has spread quickly online. Some social media users accused the United Nations personnel of sabotage, while conservative commentators suggested that the stop was deliberate.
“If someone at the United Nations is intentionally stopped moving stairs as president and first lady, they must be expelled and investigated immediately.”
On Fox News, host Jesse Watters claimed, “They sabotaged him and they could harm the first lady.”
