The United Nations believes it has solved the mystery of why an escalator abruptly stopped shortly after Donald Trump stepped onto it on Tuesday - his videographer may have accidentally triggered a safety mechanism.
U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said a readout of the escalator’s central processing unit indicated it “had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator.”
He said Trump’s videographer had been traveling backwards up the escalator to capture his arrival with First Lady Melania Trump.

Who is his videographer?
I prefer to believe the escalator simply refused to move for him
It was the Epstein Files that did it
Did he fall? Or did he just stand there a few minutes?
I’m sure it wasn’t his 6’3" 240lb frame.
If I stand next to Trump and I’m taller than him. He’s shorter than 6’1. Max he’s 5’10.
I would have spent exactly zero seconds investigating this. Who gives a fuck.
Because they immediately blamed conspirators from “the left” and the UN (that huge group of our enemies).
I hear they found a screwdriver near the elevator with radical far left writing on it.
Was the elevator antifa?
It was Obama.
And the Jews, but not the Israel Jews, the other ones. Dear God, where was George Soros yesterday?!
OMG…it became…stairs. Walk up them you slob.
Sorry for the convenience.
RIP Mitch
Wrong Mitch died
I mean, first of all you have to remember he’s afraid of stairs. Probably less so on an escalator because it has big sides but still.
Melania deserves a lot of shit but she just said fuck it I’m walking and kept moving which was the right thing as it happened. Demented Donny Rapist would have just stood there for another half hour.
Trump’s description of this is so hilarious
“All I got from the United nations was an escalator that stopped right in the middle. If the first lady wasn’t in great shape, she would’ve fallen. But she’s in great shape. We’re both in good shape.”
Like I get it I guess but it just became stairs. Are we seriously acting like conquering a flight of stairs is some heroic feat that requires Herculean strength and athleticism?
It is in a gerontocracy.
He looked dumb, so of course its the evil Democrats out to get him. United Nations, whatever. They didn’t hire him to remodel their building.
As Mitch once said, they can never break!
Jimmy kimmel did this
It was the INSURRECTION, I tell you!!111
Anyone put this to Curb theme song yet? :)
