Trump hasn't had to walk up any stairs since the Air Force One incident where he Bidened it. He forbids it, and the ghost of that umbrella haunts all stairways
And it sounds like it was one of trump's own team members that caused it to stop, just to make a photo-op and political stunt. Imagine if he actually did have a heart attack climbing those stairs.
Gee he’s such a crybaby!.. He call it REAL DISGRACE!! a TRIPLE SABOTAGE!! that we (UN) have to be ASHAMED OF OURSELF and 99% it was one of his team that triggered unintentionally the safe stop button. 🤌
Someone at the UN said a trump staffer ran ahead of the group and hit the panic switch at the top to stop it, the button that’s there to save people in the process of being eaten by the escalator. Believe they said it’s possible the staffer did not know they had hit the button.
I also laughed at his description of the events as if it was an assassination attempt meant to cause him to fall on his face and into the "sharp" stairs.
the article that said "trump and Melania got stuck on a broken escalator" made me laugh so fucking bad. like dude what do you mean stuck? why the fuck is this even news ? i'm surprised there's not people out there cheering that he walked up some stairs and saying biden would have died after 3 steps
Any normal person would've shrugged it off and walked up.
But Donald Trump? He's so badly out of shape... I'll bet he was out of breath at the top and that made him even more mad... a reminder of his frailty. Of course that doesn't even compare to his ego which is like paper thin glass.
Wh- Oh yeah, definitely comedy. It's good to have a laugh now and then. Uh, apropos of nothing, would you be interested in a pale of freshly plucked corneas?
My first thought seeing the video. Like dude! There's a working escalator directly beside you! Then when I read he had a videographer I realized they probably had lit that particular escalator that they were on. Trump being a tv guy would probably have followed instructions to use that escalator.
Steady on there friend. There was a second escalator directly to their right that was also going up and it kept going after trump's had stopped. Really not uncommon in large buildings with a lot of foot traffic. Look at it again.
Fun fact the last 4-5 presidents (besides Obama) have been more or less the same age. Clinton, Bush, and Trump are the same age. The President gets older, but the ruling class stays the same.
George W Bush would spend his vacation time doing physical labor around his ranch and rode his bike long distances. Barack Obama would play baseketball. Bill Clinton would jog. We used to have Presidents who were actually fit.
"we arent the party of violence really! we just have news casters constantly talking about mass murdering people and starting a world war because of a tiny imagined slight."
Ah, but the Republican Fox News Exception, they are allowed to make terroristic threats... see the MN mass shootings of homeless encampments after Brian Kilmeade told his followers to execute them
Well, if he was still alive you could've asked Trump's former butler if he ever saw any consequences for calling for Obama (who was President at the time) to be executed, and multiple US cities to be nuked.
Spoiler alert; he did not, other than having to talk to the SS for a bit.
From what I understand of the legal definition of treason, for any kind of treason to apply, the US has to be at war. The US hasn’t declared war since WWII
Okay, but who's gonna execute them? The government ain't gonna do it, they're on the same side- and the PEOPLE aren't gonna do it, there's a literal fascist takeover, and all the americans are doing is memeing about it or waving signs.
No, stoppit. You guys always say that he's gonna do that if we escalate, and then we don't, and he gets worse ANYWAY. Dealing with assholes who won't stop UNLESS stopped, is my specialty, and I could've told you from day one that that's what we're dealing with.
That's because it's already happened. I mean people didn't really try to stop them before either. Revolution or total authoritarian control are your two options.
Well, on the bright side, there's a good chance that all those assholes on our side who kept shouting us down when we said "we need to stop these fuckers!" are gonna be the first ones on the chopping block.
Atleast it'll be alot easier to organize without THOSE shitheads around.

It’s very hard to walk up escalator stairs. You know those little ridges are hard to navigate

Someone said it was an assassination attempt. “He was a sitting duck.” Most people can walk up at about the same rate the escalators bring them up.

Now this could just be a coincidence...

I saw the footage. Wasn't the one just on his right going up and working fine? He just had to switch to that one

Wasn't it a white house photographer who tripped the button?

It was his own stupid staff member that preceded him up the escalator.

It still is, but it used to, too.

There's a second escalator right beside this one which is working fine in the video clip.
ChillaAquila
Trump hadn't even stepped foor on it either, they could've just used the one next to it. I reckon Melania accidentally hit the emergency stop.
TacoPoweredHelicopter
It was his videographer at the top of the escalator.

The same videographer that coincidentally got the entire thing on camera.

if only there was what looked like an operating escalator nearby
GrandmaSlappy
what is he going to do, go down half a flight of stairs to use an escalator?
KWJester49
He had just stepped onto it, wasnt halfway up. But his videographer probably would have tripped the safety on that one too if he moved over
pullingsixty
My first thought seeing the video. Like dude! There's a working escalator directly beside you! Then when I read he had a videographer I realized they probably had lit that particular escalator that they were on. Trump being a tv guy would probably have followed instructions to use that escalator.

Have you guys never seen escalators before?
One goes up and the other goes down.
This man struggled on stairs, you think he's gonna attempt to go up a down escalator?

Did you not watch the video?

Here it is for reference.

It was also going up, in the video clip aired.

“What we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it,” he smirked, prompting his co-hosts to giggle off-camera.
Thinking his plan through a bit, Watters wondered, “It is in New York, though, right? Could be some fallout there. Maybe gas it?”
They then went into Schrodinger's Asshole mode, if you get mad, he was just kidding.
