The United Nations believes it has solved the mystery of why an escalator abruptly stopped shortly after Donald Trump stepped onto it on Tuesday - his videographer may have accidentally triggered a safety mechanism.
U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said a readout of the escalator’s central processing unit indicated it “had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator.”
He said Trump’s videographer had been traveling backwards up the escalator to capture his arrival with First Lady Melania Trump.
I mean, first of all you have to remember he’s afraid of stairs. Probably less so on an escalator because it has big sides but still.
Melania deserves a lot of shit but she just said fuck it I’m walking and kept moving which was the right thing as it happened. Demented Donny Rapist would have just stood there for another half hour.
Trump’s description of this is so hilarious
Like I get it I guess but it just became stairs. Are we seriously acting like conquering a flight of stairs is some heroic feat that requires Herculean strength and athleticism?
He looked dumb, so of course its the evil Democrats out to get him. United Nations, whatever. They didn’t hire him to remodel their building.
It is in a gerontocracy.
