This afternoon, the atmosphere at the United Nations headquarters (New York) suddenly became tense when former US President Donald Trump had a rare but extremely dangerous incident on the escalator. According to sources from witnesses at the scene, Mr. Trump was leaving the conference area when the escalator suddenly stopped, causing him to stagger and almost fall.
This information quickly spread throughout the media and social networks within a few minutes. Millions of Trump’s supporters expressed their concern and prayed for his health. For many people, the fact that a political figure of his stature had an accident at a solemn place like the United Nations was not only shocking but also heartbreaking, because Mr. Trump always appeared with a strong and powerful image.
Witnesses said that after the escalator suddenly stopped, some of his bodyguards quickly rushed to keep his balance and prevent him from falling. Fortunately, Mr. Trump was not seriously injured, just looked quite tense and needed a few minutes to rest. A video recording the incident went viral on social media, attracting millions of views in just half an hour.
Many opinions said that this was a warning about Mr. Trump’s age and health. At the age of over 78, traveling by public transport such as escalators is always risky. Some fans left emotional comments:
“Even though it was just a small incident, seeing him stagger made me feel heartbroken. He is still a strong leader in our hearts.”
“The United Nations must review its safety system, how could a former US President be in such a dangerous situation?”
However, there were also critical comments, saying that Mr. Trump often appeared tired, and this incident further showed that he was no longer healthy enough to continue participating in intense political activities.
It is worth mentioning that this incident occurred just a few minutes after Mr. Trump left a closed-door meeting with a number of international leaders. Although no one was injured, the image of him having to be helped down the escalator by security personnel became the center of discussion. Major media outlets in the US simultaneously reported the news, calling it a “heartbreaking moment at the United Nations”.
The story became even hotter when Mr. Trump’s team refused to comment in detail, only confirming that he “was fine and would continue his schedule for the day”. This silence further fueled speculation about his real health condition.
It is undeniable that today’s escalator incident has created a psychological shock not only for Trump supporters, but also for international public opinion. Because, in the eyes of many people, Trump has always been a controversial figure but has an indomitable appearance. However, this seemingly small moment has exposed the fragility of human beings in the face of age and destiny.
In the coming hours, public opinion will certainly continue to closely monitor Trump’s health as well as how the United Nations handles the incident. And regardless of political views, there is an undeniable truth: the image of a former US President almost falling on an escalator has left the whole world heartbroken.
