#UNGA80: Malfunctioning teleprompter, faulty escalator as Trump arrives UN HQs by seunmsg(op): 8:26pm On Sep 23, 2025

Faulty escalator
US President Donald Trump faced two unexpected disruptions during his visit to the United Nations headquarters in New York on Tuesday. An escalator at the building stopped abruptly as he and First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it, and later, during his speech to the General Assembly, his teleprompter malfunctioned.

Trump and Melania arrived hand in hand at the UN building ahead of his much-anticipated address. Dressed in a white pantsuit, the first lady walked alongside the president as photographers called out for pictures. Trump responded with a smile and a brief "thank you" before they stepped onto the escalator.

I’m trying to imagine the kind of reaction that will trail a situation where Nigeria is hosting an international event and the elevator malfunctions when a first world president is in it and then the teleprompter also malfunctions as he’s about to deliver his speech. Omo, e go too loud. However, no one is taking this as a big deal in the US. The opposition is not saying the US is finished or trending international embarrassment like some mob would have done in Nigeria.

Soon enough, we shall be entertained with elaborate justifications for why his teleprompter betrayed him mid-speech. And, of course, the usual chorus of apologists will emerge.

Yet, should a similar mishap befall the President of Nigeria, these very same individuals would rush frantically from pillar to post, amplifying the incident across every platform as though it were a revelation to the entire world.

Truly, the gravest affliction known to mankind is not physical but spirituala poverty of self-esteem. It strips man of his dignity and drags him down, not merely to the level of the beasts, but several steps beneath them.

We will soon start seeing some explanations on why his teleprompter malfunctioned during speech. Guess the set of humans that will provide the explanation and get a plate of jollof rice from Peter Obi.

If something close to that happens to Nigeria president, those are the same set of humans who will gladly start running from pillars to post replicating it on every social media or outlet to bring to the notice of the whole world.

Lack of self esteem is the worst sickness ever known to mankind. It reduces you from human down 3 steps of the animal category.
By now, Peter Obi and Atiku would have issued a very lengthy statement telling the entire world that Tinubu personally used the money meant for the elevator and the teleprompter to buy the presidential aircraft for himself.

Sowore would have written a letter to ICC, IMF, WHO, Interpol etc to arrest President Tinubu for the malfunctioning of the elevator and the teleprompter.

Kenneth Okonkwo would be on AriseTv first thing tomorrow morning to discuss how anarchy now looms over Nigeria and Rufai Oseni will be urging him on to speak to the international dimension of the embarrassment that President Bola Tinubu has brought to Nigeria 🤣🤣🤣

COMRADES, Trump in his speech said that, during Koffi Anan era, he bidded to renovate the UN building for $500m, but unfortunately the leadership of Kofi Anan refused to give him the contract, rather they gave it to a contractor who charged very high...so massive corruption also exists in the UN?

Meanwhile, I really enjoyed his speech at the 80th UN General Assembly today

He fired all the civil servants doing those basic administrative tasks and since then it has been one problem or the other and at one time one of his appointees fired and replaced a competent black appointee and called him a DEI candidate but he inadvertently texted secret US war plans to journalists…one blunder after the other

Opposition is attacking trump daily but more importantly waiting on US elections which is most trusted in the whole world unlike the one mandate failure have compromised but the corrupt failure will be booted out in 2027

While you APC goons and emergency motigbators gloat about the malfunctioned elevator and broken teleprompter, also note that the things that are working over there are a miracle here. Healthcare, education, etc.
The fact that teleprompter and elevator failed there is not a justification for Tinubu's failure as a president.

If they choose to fail, should youhuh

Follow up their congresses and see debates on real issues the people are bothered about. Over here, the president does what's on his mind and force it on us.

In a civilized country like America where honesty, hardwork ,free, fairness and integrity leads the corrupt mandate failure will not even qualify to tie Obi’s shoes not to talk of contesting elections with Obi

Because everyone knows it's the opposition who did it intentionally, whereas if it happened in Nigeria, it would usually be due to negligence or incompetence, regardless of which party is in power.
Don't mix your political support with inferiority complex. There's no need to.

On that thread where Macron's convoy was stopped for because Trump's motorcade wanted to pass through, some people said other countries can't retaliate because no one messes with the US president 😂

Lmaoooo... This is the pay back. Escalator stopped working immediately Trump stepped on it. Teleprompter stopped working immediately he mounted the podium 😂

It's not an electrical or engineering malfunction, it was deliberate. That the UN giving Trump the middle finger.

I love it 😂😂😂

And they are on point because Trump already planned to shit on all of them. Imagine saying all countries at the assembly are going to hell. Lmaooo

Did you listen to any of the speech at all
UN activity and finance is independent of America, so don't make it look like America is to be blamed for the corruption going on In UN , because Trump rebuke them sharply in his speech
