UN challenges Donald Trump's claim that it gave him faulty teleprompter, says White House 'was in charge' of device

A representative for the United Nations Secretary General has challenged President Donald Trump's incendiary comments about a teleprompter he used Tuesday during a live, televised speech to the UN General Assembly.

After Trump threatened during the speech that a crew member responsible for the allegedly faulty teleprompter would be "in big trouble," UN representative Farhan Aziz Haq provides an exclusive reaction statement to Entertainment Weekly.

Trump said elsewhere in his speech that, "All I got from the United Nations was an escalator that on the way up stopped right in the middle," he alleged, later adding, "These are the two things that I got from the United Nations: a bad escalator and a bad teleprompter. Thank you very much."

"The White House, not the UN, was in charge of the teleprompter that was used," Haq says in the statement. "Please ask them about what happened with their teleprompter. Thanks."

he can blame it on having to “free wheel” and teleprompter not working.

I almost feel like Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Qatar, etc. are not nearly as wild as our president looked. I mean, this is how Trump reacts to officials of the world? I mean, no wonder why the US has lost credibility. Again, I don't support these governments, but why should countries like Iran trust the US? We already lost of credibility with India, Brazil, much of Africa, and many others. It was very tenuous and contentious with some of these countries even before Trump was in office, but now, why would anyone believe the president, especially with his imperialist wants of Greenland? I think it will be a violent world in the next few years.

His real bitch is they did not provide him with an elevator, preferably a golden one.
What did presidents use before there even was a teleprompter?
