Donald Trump, the White House, and right-wing commentators have been melting down over an escalator stopping at the United Nations.

Some Republicans suggested the U.N. had targeted Donald Trump with an escalator malfunction. Evidently, the truth was more benign.

President Trump called his escalator mishap at the United Nations "sabotage." The U.N. says the White House team triggered a safety mechanism. We asked two people who work on escalators to explain.

Melania Trump is being applauded for walking up the stairs. The first lady of the United States received recognition from Fox News for gracefully making her way up to the second floor of the United Nations headquarters in New York City after the escalator stopped working earlier this week.

The United Nations said that it was President Donald Trump's own team that caused escalator issues that the president has complained about since his UN speech.

A malfunctioning escalator and teleprompter at the United Nations' headquarters drew President Trump's frustration.

His behavior was that of the infamous Ugly American. Ethnocentric, rude to others while traveling abroad in their own countries, ignorant of the world, self-absorbed, arrogant, rude — these are the very characteristics of America’s president.

Donald Trump has called for the arrest of United Nations staffers he suspects orchestrated the “triple sabotage” of his appearance at the organisation’s annual world summit in New York.
