It was reported in The Times of London on Sunday that staffers have joked that they’d turn off the escalators when President Trump got on it.
Now Karoline Leavitt is calling for the firing of whoever turned them off intentionally:
If someone at the UN intentionally stopped the escalator as the President and First Lady were stepping on, they need to be fired and investigated immediately.

I knew it was done intentionally – anyone with two brain cells could see that. I hope whoever did it gets fired and made a laughingstock, that is before they get a job on CNN.
