President Trump's supporters and right-wing commentators are alleging intentional sabotage after an escalator malfunctioned at the UN headquarters. While Trump was forced to walk up the stalled escalator, his allies are framing the incident as a near-death experience, with some even suggesting drastic responses like bombing the UN. The president himself complained about the "bad escalator" and "bad teleprompter," demanding an investigation and arrests, despite the UN's explanation of a cameraman accidentally triggering a safety mechanism.
