The White House slammed UN security by claiming they had staff deliberately turn off escalators to embarrass President Trump before his furious speech to world leaders. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were forced to walk up an escalator on Tuesday when it suddenly broke as the couple entered the UN headquarters in Manhattan. Watched by the world, Trump used his speech to boast of his own accomplishments during his first term in office while criticizing the efforts of the United Nations. On the threat of war, Trump reiterated claims he had ended seven conflicts around the world while criticizing the United Nations for not offering assistance. 'These are the two things I got from the United Nations, a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter,' he said.
