If that was deliberate, whoever did it deserves a statue.

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

God I hope it was deliberate and they never get caught, because that would be amazing.

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'd pretend it was deliberate, and tell him to cry more.

[–] tidderuuf@lemmy.world 72 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It just perfectly represents how everything he touches is going to shit.

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's why we call him "the Reverse Midas"

[–] dcpDarkMatter@kbin.earth 4 points 3 days ago

He's got that Mierdas Touch.

[–] RaoulDuke85@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

They were probably wishing he would fall.

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.zip 55 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

[–] techwithjake@sh.itjust.works 11 points 4 days ago

I used to do drugs. I still do but I used to too.

To any self respecting person this is but a blip in their day. Only a petty fool would draw attention to something like this and in doing so only serve to highlight what a pathetic slob they are.

Happy cake day!

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably over the weight limit.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

If only he had a clean diaper on...

[–] etherphon@midwest.social 33 points 4 days ago

Someone's going to lose their job because this guy had to go up some stairs. What a strong leader lol. JFC.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Aaww. Did the poor little baby have to climb them like stairs?

[–] baldingpudenda@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably cried for his golf cart and had a meltdown

[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

She's looking at him like "don't you dare!"

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I can’t tell who she’s mad at. Trump or the UN.

[–] opus86@lemmy.today 11 points 4 days ago

Maybe some former career government employees that Trump fired are working there.

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 days ago

He's NOT A snowflake!

[–] donalonzo@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Are the escalator fairies in the room with us right now?

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 6 points 3 days ago

USA continues to have outsized role in UN, despite stirring hostilities and significant unpaid dues.

[–] Carvex@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Wait until they charge a maintenance guy with assault and demand the death penalty, like a cult would.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

His teleprompter died too. Seems delightfully deliberate.
