Donald Trump left completely humiliated as teleprompter breaks during UN speech

 

Donald Trump Left Scrambling After Teleprompter Fails During Live UN Speech

US President Donald Trump faced an embarrassing moment during a high-profile United Nations speech when his teleprompter suddenly stopped working. The incident, broadcast live on multiple networks including Fox News, quickly became the talk of social media.

Wearing his signature blue suit, white shirt, and red tie, Trump opened the speech confidently—until he realized the teleprompter wasn’t functioning. Frustrated, he told the audience: “I don’t mind making this speech without a teleprompter, because the teleprompter is not working.”

The crowd laughed awkwardly as Trump tried to improvise. He added, “I feel very happy to be up here with you, nevertheless, and that way you speak more from the heart.” He then warned jokingly, “Whoever is operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.”

For a few moments, Trump appeared lost without his prepared remarks. Eventually, the issue was fixed, allowing him to continue. In typical Trump fashion, he linked the glitch to another mishap earlier that day—an escalator malfunction at the UN that left him and Melania briefly stuck.

He quipped: “These are the two things I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much. And by the way, it’s working now.”

The awkward moment quickly trended online. On X (formerly Twitter), users had a field day:

• “First the escalator stops working, now the teleprompter. What exactly is the UN signaling here?”

• “The timing is too perfect—right when Trump steps on stage, the prompter fails?”

• “Escalator down, teleprompter down… what’s next?”

The incident has since been dubbed another “Escalatorgate” moment, highlighting how even small technical hiccups can overshadow major speeches when Donald Trump is involved.
