In this jaw-dropping clip, two bizarre “coincidences” unfold at the United Nations just as President Trump and First Lady Melania arrive. The moment they step onto the UN escalator, it suddenly grinds to a halt, leaving them momentarily stuck and bewildered. But the strangeness doesn’t stop there — just minutes later, Trump begins his speech, only for the teleprompter to abruptly shut off mid-sentence. The crowd gasps as Trump powers through like a pro. Was it a technical glitch… or something more? This video captures every second of the chaos.
