The British newspaper Daily Mirror called Trump "DERANGED" in big bold letters on the front page.  They also called him  "The World's Most Powerful Man-Baby."  Trump is a joke; so is anyone who still supports him.

Key takeaways from article:
(1) Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for Guterres, said Trump's videographer "may have inadvertently triggered the safety function" while filming the couple.
(2) A UN official later told the BBC the White House was operating the teleprompter at the time, bringing their own laptops and plugging them into the UN's system.
(3) a UN official said: ''The sound system was designed to allow people at their seats to hear speeches being translated into six different languages through earpieces."

Quoting from http://www.npr.org/2025/09/25/nx-s1-5553272/trump-escalator-united-nations-investigation -  

In a rare move, Dujarric, the U.N. secretary-general spokesperson, sent a note to reporters on Tuesday to clarify what had happened. He said the most likely explanation is that a videographer from the U.S. delegation accidentally brought the escalator to a halt.

The videographer had been many steps ahead of the first couple on the escalator, standing backward to film their arrival. Apparently, when the videographer reached the top, he inadvertently triggered a safety feature designed to keep people or objects from getting caught in the gearing, Dujarric said.

"A subsequent investigation, including a readout of the machine's central processing unit, indicated that the escalator had stopped after a built-in safety mechanism on the comb step was triggered at the top of the escalator," he wrote.

You don't have to watch Kimmel's entire monologue but take a look around 2:30 - 3:50 and see how Faux News pushes the narrative to create sympathy for Trump. Also keep in mind that "a September 2025 report by Medium cited a median age of 68 for Fox News viewers in 2023."
