00:07Thank you very much.

00:08With these sarcastic words, Trump expressed his frustration after facing two awkward moments.

00:14The first came when the escalator broke down, as he and Melania were ascending upon their

00:26But she's in great shape.

00:30We're both in good shape.

00:31We both stood.

00:32The second mishap occurred after he reached the podium, when the teleprompter apparently

00:37malfunctioned during his speech at the UNGA.

00:40I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.

00:46The criticism was immediately met with a response from Assembly President Annalena Baerbock,

00:51who replied from the floor.

00:58Please, the UN teleprompters are working perfectly.
