California<\/a> Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a>\u2019s trolling of President Trump<\/a> escalated this week with a new video mocking Trump\u2019s United Nations\u2019 entrance mishap known as \u201cEscalatorgate.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The clip, set to the 90s hit \u201cMacarena,\u201d splices together soundbites from Trump with footage of the stalled escalator<\/a> he and First Lady Melania Trump<\/a> attempted to ride before his General Assembly address. <\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA golden week, for a golden era,\u201d Newsom wrote in the caption.<\/p>\n

One edited portion of the video shows Trump beginning to say, \u201cNothing bad can happen, it can only\u201d before cutting to a separate clip of him saying \u201cescalator.\u201d <\/p>\n

His actual quote, \u201cNothing bad can happen, it can only good happen,\u201d which was made at a Monday press conference, went viral on social media for not making sense. <\/p>\n

The video also poked fun at Trump\u2019s inability to pronounce acetaminophen<\/a>, commonly known as Tylenol, as he announced an unproven link between the drug and autism on Monday. Trump was mocked by social media users after when the president struggled with the word. <\/p>\n

While advising pregnant Americans to limit taking the pain reliever, Trump fumbled to pronounce name, which was featured in Newsom\u2019s clip. <\/p>\n

\u201cAceta \u2014 well, let’s see how we say that,\u201d Trump said, pausing before working through the word syllable by syllable. \u201cAcetam \u2014 enophin. Acetaminophen. Is that OK? Which is basically commonly known as Tylenol.\u201d<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s clip ends with a tongue-in-cheek message for the president: \u201cGet well soon <3.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the escalator incident, Trump publicly accused his enemies of sabotage and demanded the U.N. Secretary General investigate the mishap. <\/p>\n

Insiders later said the emergency stop button had been triggered accidentally by a member of Trump\u2019s entourage and the U.N. confirmed that, but the Trump administration continued to allege foul play.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Newsom posted in a parody of Trump\u2019s own style of all caps: \u201cDOZY DON WAS DEFEATED BY THE ESCALATOR, POOR GUY! THE ENTIRE WORLD IS LAUGHING AT THE LOW IQ \u2018PRESIDENT.\u2019 NEXT STOP: THE BEST ROOM AT MEMORY MEADOWS RETIREMENT RESORT. TYLENOL INCLUDED. ENJOY YOUR STAY, DON! \u2014 GCN.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also quipped, \u201cI only walk up escalators because that\u2019s what REAL MANLY MEN do.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few days later, while in New York City for Climate Week, Newsom posted a video from Trump Tower<\/a>, where he claimed to encounter his own escalator woes. <\/p>\n

\u201cA REAL DISGRACE. Escalator was broken at Trump Tower today. I\u2019ve launched an investigation into this matter,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

The \u201cEscalatorgate\u201d moment followed a U.N. address by Trump earlier in the week in which the president stunned world leaders by dismissing climate change as a \u201cgreen scam,\u201d claiming credit for ending seven wars, and accusing the U.N. of \u201cfunding an assault on Western countries and their borders\u201d through migration policies.<\/p>\n

A day later, Trump also accused the U.N. of orchestrating a \u201ctriple sabotage\u201d to undermine his appearance.<\/p>\n

\u201cA REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday \u2013 Not one, not two, but three very sinister events!\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday, referring to the escalator incident, audio issues with his speech and nonworking teleprompter.<\/p>\n

He demanded to see security tapes of the escalator and called for an immediate investigation by the Secretary General, claiming, \u201cThis wasn\u2019t a coincidence; this was triple sabotage at the U.N..\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the backlash, Trump insisted his speech \u201cgot fantastic reviews,\u201d adding that \u201cvery few people could have done what I did.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The latest headlines from our reporters across the US sent straight to your inbox each weekdayYour briefing on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[146,85,46,411],"class_list":["post-41923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
