Following the guilty verdict on five charges related to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, Ryan Routh attempted to harm himself in the courtroom. The charges included attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate and possessing firearms, potentially leading to a life sentence. Routh’s daughter also caused a scene, vowing to free her father. The 59-year-old had constructed a sniper’s nest near Trump’s golf course and was apprehended by the Secret Service.

Turns Out Trump’s Own Team Messed Up U.N. Escalator and Teleprompter is a perfect example of the old saying, “if you want something done right, do it yourself.” Except, in this case, it seems even Trump’s own team couldn’t get it right. This whole situation really does sum up the Trump administration, doesn’t it? Incompetence, finger-pointing, and a dash of manufactured outrage. The kind where you’d expect a leader to shrug and laugh it off, not launch a full-blown investigation.
The details are straightforward: according to reports, a U.N. official stated someone from Trump’s own team, in their haste, accidentally tripped the escalator’s stop mechanism. It wasn’t some deep-state conspiracy; it was just a simple, human error. And the teleprompter issue? Apparently, that was also being handled by Trump’s own White House staff. Surprise, surprise.
You get the impression that Trump tends to surround himself with people who prioritize loyalty over competence, which, as many have pointed out, seems to be a recipe for disaster. It’s like a revolving door of yes-men who are more concerned with stroking his ego than actually doing their jobs effectively. And the blame game? Classic Trump. Externalizing blame for any negative outcome is a well-honed skill.
The story also highlights a broader pattern of behavior. The kind where anything perceived as a slight or an inconvenience is immediately turned into a major scandal. It’s like the escalator and teleprompter incidents were deliberately staged to give them something else to blame on liberals. Or, as someone brilliantly put it, it was a “manufactured outrage.”
The reaction to this seems to have been predictable. One of the more humorous takes suggests a joke: How many MAGAs does it take to work an escalator? Three. It’s hard to tell if it’s more comical, or tragic, seeing how these things seem to unfold.
It seems like they were more concerned with taking photos and projecting an image than focusing on the basics. The fact that even simple tasks, like operating an escalator or managing a teleprompter, went awry, is a testament to the quality of the staff at the events.
It’s the kind of situation where a normal leader might simply chuckle and move on. Instead, there’s the potential for investigations, accusations, and the usual political theater. This is the kind of thing that has become expected.
And, let’s not forget the impact on the media. News outlets are having a field day, and the usual suspects are, of course, spinning the narrative to fit their agenda. This is just what happens when you let morons touch the controls for basic machinery.
But the biggest takeaway from all of this? It reinforces the idea that those around Trump were often ill-equipped to handle even the most basic tasks. This type of thing is an embarrassment. The type of thing, that will be seen for years to come.
