New York, Sep 25 (NationPress) US President Donald Trump has stated he was the victim of three highly suspicious incidents during his recent attendance at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) the previous day, and he has requested that the Secret Service look into the situation.
Trump, who spoke to global leaders at the UN, criticized the organization for wasting its potential, condemned European allies for their management of the Russia-Ukraine crisis, and accused them of adopting immigration policies that he claimed were leading their nations toward disaster.
On his social media platform, Truth Social, on Wednesday (local time), Trump suggested that a series of peculiar incidents during his visit were not mere coincidences but indications of a broader conspiracy.
The first event, according to Trump, took place when an escalator transporting him and his team suddenly came to a screeching halt.
He characterized this incident as outright sabotage and called for accountability.
"The individuals responsible should face arrest," Trump asserted on Truth Social.
The second disruption unfolded during his UN speech when his teleprompter unexpectedly went completely dark.
While Trump suggested malicious intent, a UN official, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the matter, clarified that the White House staff was in charge of the teleprompter's operation.
The third alleged act of sabotage, Trump claimed, involved sound issues within the hall. He noted that attendees could only hear his comments if they used interpreters through earpieces, asserting that his wife, Melania, could not hear him at all.
"This was not a coincidence; this was a triple act of sabotage," Trump proclaimed, maintaining that these incidents were intentional.
He also urged the UN to keep its security footage of the escalator incident, adding that the Secret Service would participate in the investigation.
