0:32Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump got a taste of UN dysfunction on Tuesday when an escalator at the United Nations suddenly stopped right after he got on it.
Trump assailed the United Nations and other countries in a grievance-laden speech that accused the world body of offering nothing but “empty words,” labeled climate change a “con job” and warned open borders risked destroying nations.
Setting aside calls for unity, Trump began his speech to the UN General Assembly by venting his frustration that the UN hadn’t done more to support his diplomatic efforts. He faulted the organization over an escalator that broke down just as First Lady Melania Trump stepped onto it, said his teleprompter had broken down and ruminated on a two-decade-old grudge over his rejected bid to renovate the UN headquarters.
