Seth Myers Takes Down Trump’s Absurd Escalator Incident at the United Nations Last Week

Last week, President Trump gave a speech at the United Nations.

Sometimes, American presidents or other high-ranking American government officials give speeches at the United Nations that do not go over so well. Often, they are remembered for all of the wrong reasons. Nobody has forgotten how Colin Powell once provided "proof" of Iraq's Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD's) which turned out to have been dead wrong.

However, Trump often takes these things to ever new extremes, sets all new lows. That feels like it's a trademark of what passes for his presidency. Remember how he got laughed at years ago, during his first speech before the United Nations? He somehow forgot that he was not addressing a Trump rally, but was talking to assembled world leaders, who began to laugh at him when he began, quite typically, to praise himself.

Well, last week's speech did not go over so well, either. Nobody laughed at him. And yet, actually taking some time during his address to point out how the escalator stopped, and then tying that in to some kind of ridiculous conspiracy theory against him is just plain embarrassing and disgraceful. 

This man has absolutely no business being in the Oval Office. What a national disgrace.

Really, it does not feel like a laughing matter. And yet, humor often is the best tool to use against such a ridiculous man and his cult following. And Seth Myers had a pretty funny response to all of this. Thought that this would be a video worth sharing.

Enjoy.
