Trump Says He Was ‘Triple Sabotaged’

President Donald J. Trump is demanding answers after a shocking series of events disrupted his major speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday — a speech viewed by millions worldwide.

In a powerful Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump said there were “not one, not two, but THREE very sinister incidents” that occurred back-to-back, calling them “triple sabotage” and insisting on a full investigation.

“A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday,” Trump wrote. “These were no accidents. The individuals responsible must be arrested and held accountable.”

Incident #1: Escalator Stops Suddenly Before Trump’s Entrance

According to Trump, the first suspicious event happened before he even reached the podium. The escalator carrying him into the hall suddenly stalled, forcing an awkward halt to his entrance.

Trump pointed to a report from the Times of London claiming that U.N. staffers had joked about cutting off elevators and escalators ahead of his arrival — mocking him by suggesting they could claim “budget issues” and force him to walk the stairs.

The president is demanding security footage of the escalator area be preserved, especially video of the emergency stop button, and confirmed that Secret Service agents are now investigating.

“The people who did this should be arrested immediately,” Trump declared.

Incident #2: Teleprompter Goes Completely Dark

As Trump began his address to world leaders, a second problem occurred: his teleprompter completely failed, going dark at the very moment he was to begin speaking.

“As I stood before a global audience of millions, my teleprompter was stone cold dark,” Trump recounted. “I had to deliver the speech entirely from memory for nearly 15 minutes. Thankfully, the reviews have been incredible because very few people could have done what I did.”

A White House official later revealed that U.N. staff blocked Trump’s team from properly setting up the teleprompter before the speech, leaving them scrambling behind the scenes while he was already speaking.

This has raised serious questions about whether the failure was a technical mistake or deliberate interference.

Incident #3: Audio Failure Leaves Leaders in Silence

The third issue occurred as Trump was wrapping up his address. Many world leaders in the audience could not hear a word he said due to a complete audio blackout inside the hall.

The first person to break the news to Trump? First Lady Melania Trump.

“I asked Melania how I did,” Trump said. “She told me she couldn’t hear a single word of my speech.”

According to U.N. officials, the mishap was caused by “a non-official interpreter pressing the wrong button.” However, White House insiders strongly dispute that explanation, viewing it as yet another example of incompetence—or worse, intentional sabotage.

U.N. Issues Denial

U.N. spokesman Farhan Aziz Haq rejected Trump’s claims of foul play, saying the escalator issue was caused by a safety mechanism accidentally triggered by someone ahead of the president.

As for the audio failure, he said it was caused by human error involving an interpreter. The U.N. offered no comment on the teleprompter incident, claiming they do not operate that equipment.

But White House sources are standing firm, arguing that Trump’s team was deliberately prevented from setting up the teleprompter correctly — evidence, they say, of a coordinated effort to undermine the speech.

Trump: ‘This Was No Coincidence’

Trump made it clear he believes these three incidents were part of a larger pattern of sabotage.

“This was not random,” Trump declared. “It was triple sabotage at the United Nations. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.”

The former president confirmed he is sending a formal letter to U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres demanding a full investigation and accountability for what took place.

“No wonder the United Nations hasn’t been able to fulfill its mission,” Trump wrote. “All security tapes must be preserved and reviewed immediately.”

Why This Matters

This explosive episode highlights Trump’s long-standing criticisms of the U.N., which he has often accused of corruption, incompetence, and hostility toward America’s interests.

The investigation could reveal whether these incidents were honest mistakes or politically motivated acts, potentially further straining relations between Trump and the global body.

As the Secret Service investigation unfolds, many Americans are left wondering whether the U.N. can be trusted — or whether it’s time for the U.S. to hold the organization accountable once and for all.
