President Donald Trump’s September 23, 2025 visit to the United Nations turned into what he properly called a “triple sabotage” — an escalator that abruptly stopped with him and First Lady Melania on it, a teleprompter that failed for a long stretch, and audio problems that left the audience struggling to hear his address. The sequence of failures was glaring and dangerous, and it has rightly prompted sharp questions about whether this was incompetence or something far more sinister.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not mince words, publicly demanding an investigation and warning that anyone who deliberately interfered with the President’s appearance should be fired and prosecuted. Her blunt, no-nonsense response is exactly what a steward of American security should say when our president’s safety is potentially at risk on foreign soil.
The United Nations’ initial explanations have been thin and self-protective, pointing fingers at a U.S. videographer or equipment quirks while downplaying the broader pattern of anomalies that day. That explanation only raises more questions given reports that some UN staffers joked about inconveniencing the former president during his visit — not the kind of laughter you want from people charged with safeguarding global diplomacy.
President Trump and his team have demanded the preservation of security footage and said the Secret Service is looking into the incidents, which is the correct and responsible next step. If there was any deliberate attempt to embarrass or endanger an American president, it must be treated as a serious security breach, not shrugged off as bureaucratic chaos.
Conservative commentators and allies have been right to amplify this story, and outlets like The Rubin Report have been sharing insider clips and granular commentary to keep pressure on the case. Dave Rubin’s decision to share a DM clip of his roundtable discussion with Karol Markowicz and Dana Loesch illustrates how mainstream gatekeepers are still failing to press for answers, so independent platforms and watchdogs must fill the void.
Patriotic Americans should be alarmed that an international institution that receives U.S. taxpayer funds would even be suspected of targeting an American president. This isn’t a partisan stunt — it’s about national dignity and safety. The U.N. must open its books, hand over all relevant footage and access logs, and allow American investigators to follow leads without interference.
Karoline Leavitt deserves credit for refusing to let this be swept under the rug; her toughness is what American voters expect when their leaders are challenged overseas. Congress and the administration should not rest until there is a full, transparent accounting and, if wrongdoing is found, swift accountability for anyone who thought the United States could be made to stumble with impunity.
Finally, let this be a warning to the globalist elites who think they can treat America as fodder for their games: hardworking Americans will not tolerate attacks on our leaders or our institutions, and we will demand answers and justice. If the United Nations won’t police its own or make reparations, then the United States must protect its people and its president by every lawful means necessary.
