The teleprompter wasn’t the first malfunction for the day. Donald was joined by Melania Trump at the UN in New York, but as they were heading up an escalator in the building, it suddenly stopped. Both Donald and Melania looked over their shoulders to ask what had happened, and afterward, the White House was unhappy.

Donald says Melania Trump is in “great shape”

As per Newsweek, they even called for an investigation into whether the escalator was stopped on purpose to humiliate him. Moreover, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that there would be “accountability” if it were found to have been intentional. Meanwhile, the UN stated that the malfunction was caused by a safety mechanism being inadvertently activated.

As mentioned, Melania Trump was standing in front of her husband on the escalator when it came to a stop. She joined her husband for the state visit to the UK last week, and it appeared to have been a success.
