The UN Sabotage: What Really Happened When Trump Addressed World Leaders

The UN Sabotage: What Really Happened When Trump Addressed World Leaders

Good morning, Patriots! What happened when President Trump went to address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday wasn't just a series of unfortunate technical difficulties. It was a pattern of suspicious malfunctions that raise serious questions about both UN staff competence and, more importantly, catastrophic Secret Service security failures.

The mainstream media is trying to sweep this under the rug as innocent mishaps. They're not. When you connect the dots—and we're going to connect every single one—you'll see a disturbing pattern that should terrify every American who cares about our president's safety.

The Warning We All Ignored

Before diving into Tuesday's events, we need to go back to Sunday, September 21st. The Times of London published a report that should have set off alarm bells at Secret Service headquarters:

"To mark Trump's arrival, UN staff members have joked that they may turn off escalators and elevators and simply tell him they've ran out of money so he has to walk up the stairs."

Let me say that again: UN staffers were openly joking about sabotaging basic infrastructure during the president's visit. These globalist bureaucrats thought it would be hilarious to humiliate the president of the United States.

This wasn't some random coffee shop comment—this was reported in a major international newspaper two days before Trump's visit. The Secret Service, UN security, and everyone responsible for protecting our president had advance notice that UN staff were discussing sabotaging escalators during Trump's arrival.

What did they do with this intelligence? Apparently nothing.

The Escalator "Malfunction"

At exactly 9:50 AM on Tuesday morning, President Trump and First Lady Melania stepped onto an escalator at UN headquarters. The moment—the exact moment—they stepped onto that escalator, it ground to a halt.

Not a minute later, not after they reached the top, but the instant they committed to riding it up to address world leaders. Video footage shows the president looking around, clearly caught off guard, before he and the First Lady were forced to walk up the stopped escalator like they were climbing stairs.

Exactly what those UN staffers had joked about making him do.

The Secret Service Failure That Should Terrify Us

When that escalator stopped, creating what security experts correctly identified as a choke point—a confined space where the president becomes a sitting target—what did our supposedly elite Secret Service agents do?

They stood there. They looked around. They hoped someone would fix the problem.

RealClearPolitics correspondent Susan Crabtree, who has extensive Secret Service sources, reported that sources within the Secret Service community were "very concerned" about what they witnessed. She compared it directly to the delayed response during the July 13th assassination attempt.

Think about this tactically: The president, a man who has survived two assassination attempts in 2024 alone, is trapped on a stopped escalator. He cannot move forward quickly, cannot retreat, and he's elevated like a target on a shooting range.

Secret Service protocol should have agents immediately surrounding him, creating a human shield and evacuating him from that vulnerable position. Instead, they stood around looking like confused mall security guards.

As Jack Posobiec noted: "I can't believe the President and First Lady were allowed to wait on a stopped escalator. How is this even possible?"

Mike Cernovich was even more blunt: "The second it stopped, guns should have been out and a perimeter secured. This was a tactical failure."

The Convenient Explanation

After White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt rightfully demanded an investigation, the UN scrambled to provide an explanation. They claimed a videographer from Trump's own delegation had somehow triggered a safety mechanism at the top of the escalator.

Let me break down their story: They're claiming that a White House videographer walking backward up the escalator to film the president's arrival somehow triggered a safety mechanism that immediately shut down the entire escalator the moment Trump stepped on it at the bottom.

After UN staffers were caught on record joking about shutting off escalators, suddenly we're supposed to believe it was just Trump's own videographer who accidentally caused the exact scenario those same UN staffers had been fantasizing about?

The UN claims they conducted a "thorough investigation" and cleared themselves of wrongdoing. How thorough can an investigation be when it's completed within hours of the incident?

But Wait, There's More

The escalator incident was just the beginning. When President Trump finally made it to the podium to address the General Assembly, his teleprompter mysteriously stopped working. Not before his speech, not after, but the moment he was supposed to begin speaking to 193 world leaders.

Trump handled it with typical grace, telling the assembly: "Don't mind making this speech without a teleprompter because the teleprompter is not working... whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble."

Here's the kicker: The UN admits they don't operate teleprompters for visiting dignitaries. Each delegation brings their own equipment. So how exactly did Trump's teleprompter fail right on cue?

The Audio Manipulation

Town Hall's Katie Pavlich noticed something else suspicious: The audio levels were dramatically different for President Trump compared to the previous speaker. The microphones were audible for the Brazilian president but were not amplifying sound at the same level when Trump started speaking.

Then, the main UN feed to television news channels mysteriously switched to a foreign language translation toward the end of Trump's speech, obscuring his words from the international audience.

Connect the Dots

Let me get this straight:

  • The escalator stops the moment Trump steps on it
  • The teleprompter fails the moment he begins speaking
  • Audio levels are mysteriously lower for his speech
  • The international TV feed switches to foreign language during his remarks

Four separate technical failures, all targeting the same person, all occurring at the worst possible moments. What are the odds?

The Perfect Response

Despite all these obstacles, President Trump delivered a masterful speech that captured the dysfunction in real time. When he told world leaders, "These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter," he wasn't just making a joke—he was exposing the incompetence and possible malice of the organization.

Trump used these incidents to illustrate his broader point about UN ineffectiveness, telling world leaders that the UN offers "empty words" that "don't solve wars." He reminded them he had ended seven wars during his first presidency without receiving a single phone call from the UN offering assistance.

What This Really Means

This represents a fundamental breakdown in the security apparatus that's supposed to protect our president. If the Secret Service cannot properly respond to a stopped escalator in a controlled environment, how can we trust them in truly dangerous situations?

If international organizations like the UN can create hostile environments for American officials—whether through malicious intent or gross negligence—what does that say about our standing in the world?

What Needs to Happen Now

First: The Secret Service investigation must be thorough, transparent, and result in concrete protocol changes. We cannot have another situation where the president is left vulnerable while his detail looks confused.

Second: Anyone at the UN involved in discussing or implementing sabotage against American officials needs to be identified and held accountable, including termination and potential criminal prosecution.

Third: The United States needs to seriously reconsider our relationship with an organization that treats our president with such contempt. We're the largest UN contributor, providing billions to an organization whose staff joke about sabotaging our leaders.

Finally: Americans need to understand these incidents aren't isolated embarrassments—they're symptoms of a broader problem where our institutions have been compromised by people who oppose everything our country stands for.

The Bigger Picture

What happened at the UN wasn't just about escalators and teleprompters. It was about respect, security, and whether American leadership will be allowed to operate effectively in an increasingly hostile international environment.

When UN staffers feel comfortable joking about sabotaging American officials, when our Secret Service fails to respond appropriately to security threats, when technical failures mysteriously target our speakers—these aren't coincidences. They're coordinated attacks on our sovereignty and leadership.

President Trump handled these challenges with the grace and strength that made him a great president and will make him great again. But he shouldn't have to overcome sabotage and security failures just to address world leaders.

The fact that he does reveals how much work we still have to do to restore American strength and credibility on the world stage. It shows why we need leaders who understand that America First isn't just a slogan—it's a necessity in a world where even our supposed allies work to undermine us.


The truth is out there, Patriots, but you have to be willing to connect the dots and ask the hard questions. Keep fighting for America, and remember to check out O'Connor's Quick Strike for more stories the mainstream media won't tell you.
