The President Addresses the United Nations: A New York Visit
Donald Trump, along with First Lady Melania Trump, faced a bit of a hiccup during their visit to the United Nations Headquarters on September 23rd.
This occasion marked President Trump’s first address to the United Nations General Assembly in New York since the outset of his second term in January.
During his speech, Trump tackled several pressing issues. He urged Europe to strengthen its stance by cutting off Russian energy sources, amidst the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
Trump also highlighted topics such as climate change and artificial intelligence, alongside situations in Gaza and Israel.
He pointed fingers at Hamas for dismissing peaceful negotiations, emphasizing the urgent need for Hamas to release Israeli hostages.
“It’s been a long-standing issue, one that could have been resolved,” he remarked.
“Instead of succumbing to Hamas’ demands, those advocating for peace should rally behind a unified message: Free the hostages now.”
Before his formal address, Trump mentioned his grievances regarding the UN building.
Rewinding to 2012, he had critiqued the ‘cheap’ tiling of the facility.
His focus this time was on the escalator, which stalled unexpectedly while he was on it.
Trump, in a candid moment captured on camera, informed the UN Deputy Secretary General, Amina J. Mohammed: “The escalator just broke down… with us in the middle of it.”
Adding humor, he continued: “All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle.
If the first lady wasn’t in great shape, she might have fallen, but she’s in great shape … These are two things I got from the United Nations, a malfunctioning escalator and a problematic teleprompter. Thank you very much. And by the way, it’s working now.”
Video footage quickly surfaced, showing the escalator incident as the Trumps made their entrance.

This week, Trump found himself in the crosshairs of criticism over his remarks about the common painkiller, Tylenol, suggesting its potential link to autism during pregnancy.
His statements sparked heated discussions worldwide. Many were unsettled by his advice to avoid pain relief, except possibly in feverish situations.
Kenvue, the company behind Tylenol, firmly countered: “We believe scientific research clearly disproves any association between acetaminophen and autism. We refute any contrary claims and worry about the misconceptions and health hazards they might create for expectant mothers.”
The active component in Tylenol is acetaminophen, known as paracetamol across the UK.
Kenvue further explained: “Acetaminophen remains the best pain relief choice for pregnant women when necessary throughout their term. Otherwise, they’re faced with tough alternatives: enduring harmful conditions like fever or opting for riskier medications. Untreated high fevers and pain pose recognized threats to pregnancies.”
Expounding further, Kenvue stated: “Acetaminophen is among the most frequently studied pain and fever reducers for infants and children, with multiple randomized clinical trials supporting its safety.”
“Decades of comprehensive research, acclaimed by health experts globally, confirm the absence of credible evidence linking acetaminophen to autism. We align with fellow public health professionals who uphold this perspective.
New mothers should always consult healthcare professionals before taking medication. At Kenvue, we’re committed to safeguarding the health of American women and children.”
