What Happened: Trump's Bizarre Remarks on Melania's Body at Peace Event

The US President addressed a viral moment when an escalator stopped working for him and his wife at the UN headquarters.

President's Tangents

President Trump is known for going off on random tangents during his speeches, including at the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace.

During the meeting, he greeted officials from various countries and complimented Paraguay's President Santiago Peña Palacios, calling him a "young, handsome guy."

Escalator Incident

Trump recalled the incident at the UN headquarters when the escalator stopped abruptly as he and Melania stepped on it, which was not found amusing by his administration at the time.

Despite initial concerns, Trump now finds humor in the situation and mentioned the incident in a lighter context during his recent speech.

He also shared about his relationship with the UN and a teleprompter malfunction during his previous speech, adding a light-hearted remark about his wife's location preventing a fall during the escalator mishap.

While Trump's team hinted that the escalator was intentionally stopped, the UN clarified it was due to a safety mechanism triggered by the videographer behind the couple.
