Jesse Watters, a controversial personality from Fox News, appeared to make a big deal out of a malfunctioning elevator, comparing it to a global crisis. Following an incident where Donald Trump faced an issue with a stuck escalator at the UN, Watters implied possible sabotage and issued ominous statements like, “Daddy’s not happy.”
He suggested extreme actions such as leaving the UN or even bombing it, labeling the incident as an “insurrection.” However, Trump himself downplayed the situation, joking about a “bad escalator and a bad teleprompter.”
This exaggerated reaction stemmed from a minor mechanical glitch that Trump brushed off with humor.
