Former President Trump Allegations After UN General Assembly Visit: A Cause for Concern:

New York, September 25, 2025 — Former President Donald Trump has alleged that he was the target of “three very sinister events” during his recent visit to the United Nations General Assembly in New York, raising serious questions about security protocols and prompting an investigation by the Secret Service. Trump, who delivered a controversial speech at the UN headquarters on Tuesday, took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express frustration and suspicion over a series of mishaps he believes were not coincidental. “This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage,” Trump wrote, as he urged UN officials to preserve surveillance footage and claimed those responsible “should be arrested.” Incident 1: The Escalator Stoppage The first incident occurred when an escalator carrying Trump and members of his entourage abruptly stopped while they were en route to the assembly hall. Trump described the sudden halt as “absolutely sabotage,” insisting it was an intentional act to disrupt his movement and potentially endanger him. However, UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric offered a different explanation, suggesting that a member of the US delegation — reportedly a videographer — may have accidentally triggered the emergency stop mechanism by moving too quickly ahead of the group. Dujarric stated, “It appears to have been an inadvertent activation, not sabotage.” Despite this, Trump remained adamant that foul play was involved and has called on the UN to hand over all relevant security tapes for review. Incident 2: Teleprompter Failure During Speech The second alleged incident took place during Trump’s high-profile address to world leaders. According to Trump, his teleprompter "went stone cold dark" mid-speech, leaving him without prepared remarks and forcing him to improvise. “The teleprompter just cut out. That doesn’t happen by accident,” Trump said, suggesting internal tampering. A UN official, speaking anonymously due to the sensitivity of the matter, clarified that the teleprompter is typically operated by the president's own team — in this case, the White House staff — rather than UN personnel. This complicates Trump’s suggestion of UN interference and points instead to a possible internal technical glitch or error by his own aides. Incident 3: Audio Issues in the Assembly Hall The third issue Trump raised involved sound problems during his speech. He claimed that many attendees, including his wife Melania Trump, couldn’t hear him properly unless they were using interpreter earpieces. “Melania said she couldn’t hear me at all,” Trump noted. Trump accused the UN of deliberately cutting or muffling his microphone to minimize the impact of his message, which was sharply critical of both the UN’s effectiveness and the policies of several U.S. allies. He told member states that they were “going to hell” due to their immigration policies and handling of the Russia-Ukraine war. However, technical glitches in the UN assembly hall are not uncommon. In fact, the global body has faced ongoing infrastructure issues, including intermittent outages of elevators and escalators. These are part of broader cost-cutting measures amid a liquidity crisis, partially driven by delayed payments from member states — including the U.S., ironically one of the UN’s largest donors. Secret Service to Investigate Trump has stated that the Secret Service will now be involved in looking into the incidents. “We’re not letting this slide. This is serious,” he said, urging the UN to cooperate fully with investigators. The situation adds another layer of controversy to Trump’s already tense relationship with the international community. Whether these incidents were the result of technical issues, human error, or something more deliberate remains to be seen. What is clear, however, is that Trump intends to pursue the matter vigorously.
