Trump Aides Responsible for Malfunctions at U.N.

“President Donald Trump broke from his prepared remarks at the United Nations on Tuesday to bemoan an inoperable escalator and a defective teleprompter, using the incidents to portray the global body as dysfunctional,” the AP reports.

“But it turns out the cause was closer to Trump.”

A U.N. spokesman “said a videographer from the U.S. delegation who ran ahead of him triggered the stop mechanism at the top of the escalator” and “may have inadvertently triggered the safety function.”

And it was the White House that “was operating the teleprompter for the president.”
