Then, when he took the green marble podium, his teleprompter went “stone cold dark”.
“I immediately thought to myself, “Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?’” Trump wrote.

After being forced to improvise part of his speech to the general assembly, he asked his wife how he had done, and she replied: “I couldn’t hear a word you said.”
“This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN,” Trump declared, demanding an “immediate” investigation into the matter, a diplomatic incident so Trumpian it has earned the name “escalatorgate”.

Looks like the whole world is out to get him
I'm also concerned that the Secret Service allowed the first couple to be anywhere near those "sharp edges of these steel steps" in the first place.
