Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> ain’t holding back after ‘Live!’ was reinstated on ABC … taking to Instagram to mock President Donald Trump<\/a>‘s escalator mishap at the United Nations General Assembly this week.<\/p>\n

Check out Jimmy’s post on his show’s official Instagram Friday — he shared a photo of his longtime sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez smiling down at him on an escalator and captioned it … “Headed to Brooklyn! Escalator is working great!”<\/p>\n

As you know, the prez was PO’d after he and First Lady Melania Trump<\/a> stepped onto the escalator ahead of the general assembly Tuesday and it suddenly halted, jerking them forward.<\/p>\n

Luckily, the pair stayed on their feet and only looked minimally agitated … though Trump ripped into the U.N. about the mishap<\/a> — plus his broken teleprompter — while speaking to his fellow world leaders.<\/p>\n

And, he huffed and puffed about the U.N. meeting on Truth Social afterward … calling the above-mentioned issues, plus a sound system problem, a “triple sabotage.”<\/p>\n

Trump also declared the Secret Service was probing the incident and demanded the U.N. investigate.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, St\u00e9phane Dujarric, the spokesman for the Secretary-General, shared<\/a> it’s believed a U.S. videographer accidentally brought the escalator to a halt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jimmy Kimmel Sorry, Trump … No Escalator Issues for Us!!!
