UN challenges Donald Trump's claim that it gave him faulty teleprompter, says White House 'was in charge' of device

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A representative for the United Nations Secretary General has challenged President Donald Trump's incendiary comments about a teleprompter he used Tuesday during a live, televised speech to the UN General Assembly.

After Trump threatened during the speech that a crew member responsible for the allegedly faulty teleprompter would be "in big trouble," UN representative Farhan Aziz Haq provides an exclusive reaction statement to Entertainment Weekly.

Trump said elsewhere in his speech that, "All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle," he alleged, later adding, "These are the two things that I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much."

"The White House, not the UN, was in charge of the teleprompter that was used," Haq says in the statement. "Please ask them about what happened with their teleprompter. Thanks."

1. What a nasty whiny snowflake

I am so freaking weary of the toddler crap

[efhmc]

2. He should be happy that that is all he got. A lie detector should have been de rigor.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. Well, that's one way to try and backtrack on a bad speech.

[rurallib]

4. He's blaming his failed and weird speech on a teleprompter???

what a whack job!

[ck4829]

21. Right?

[newdeal2]

5. In Trump's defense, he's not a details person

He doesn’t know who is on his team or what they are responsible for, he just barks at the nearest easy target.

[ck4829]

22. Or a facts person, or a truth person, or a substance person

[Johonny]

6. The teleprompter probably worked fine

He can't read without glasses I'm sure he doesn't wear.

[Botany]

19. He can't really read with or without his glasses.

@ least that is what I have seen on more than one time.

[ck4829]

23. Definitely a possibility

[Deep State Witch]

7. Sand in the Gears

Good for the folks at the UN for ruining his triumphant day!

[kairos12]

8. When the escalator stopped

I thought he would ask for a golf cart.

[llmart]

10. He certainly didn't get that physique by walking anywhere.

I wish he would have done a face plant on the stairs. Now THAT would be worth watching.

[democratsruletheday]

36. So fat and slovenly....Melanoma glided up the stairs but he

climbed the escalator like the sloth he is.

[PatSeg]

9. Should be party of other persons' responsibility

[Bev54]

11. LOL just more brilliance from the MAGA incompetent losers.

Now the whole world knows how just bloody useless they all are.

[twodogsbarking]

12. So Trump did it and blamed someone else? You betcha

[ALBliberal]

33. He does it because if he he gets called out

he can blame it on having to “free wheel” and teleprompter not working.

Was probably no problem with it.

[ECL213]

13. I'll bet the escalator...

can sense when a human being is present, and it turns off to conserve energy when nobody is there.

[paleotn]

14. The party of whiny little shits.

[SamKnause]

15. Whine, lie, whine, lie, whine, lie, whine, lie.

He is so vile and nasty.

[ck4829]

24. The conservative platform

[Grokenstein]

16. "The buck stops in my pocket...the blame sails right on by."

[spanone]

17. He lies about everyfuckingthing.

[littlemissmartypants]

18. .

[ck4829]

25. Good info

[littlemissmartypants]

32. ❤️

[ck4829]

20. K&R. Quite the clapback.

[Chasstev365]

26. He's just so believable!

[genxlib]

27. He's lucky

What he really should have gotten was a personal invitation the Hague

[Ocelot II]

28. I thought Stable Genius didn't need a teleprompter.

Didn't he drag Biden repeatedly for using one? Now his panties are in a wad because his teleprompter didn't work?

[Cha]

30. Yes, and they Dragged Pres Obama on

it, too.

And now they're making an International blow up by trying to blame the "UN's teleprompter.. " for the Dictator's dementia riddled speech.

[Cha]

29. Asshole Dictator's speech was Showing

his Demetia so he tries to blame it on his own teleprompter.

Remember when teleprompts were verboten by rw nags?

[Lovie777]

31. 3...2...1...

blame Democrats.

[tornado34jh]

34. It pains me to say this, knowing that these are dictatorships, but

I almost feel like Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Qatar, etc. are not nearly as wild as our president looked. I mean, this is how Trump reacts to officials of the world? I mean, no wonder why the US has lost credibility. Again, I don't support these governments, but why should countries like Iran trust the US? We already lost of credibility with India, Brazil, much of Africa, and many others. It was very tenuous and contentious with some of these countries even before Trump was in office, but now, why would anyone believe the president, especially with his imperialist wants of Greenland? I think it will be a violent world in the next few years.

35. We know he is too lazy to walk up steps.

His real bitch is they did not provide him with an elevator, preferably a golden one.
What did presidents use before there even was a teleprompter?
