According to foreign media outlets such as the New York Post on the 28th (local time), President Trump and the First Lady appeared to be arguing on the U.S. presidential helicopter, Marine One, after attending the 80th United Nations General Assembly on the 23rd.

The couple was captured through the window of the presidential helicopter. In the released video, Melania Trump is seen shaking her head as if she does not understand something, and immediately afterward, President Trump appears to be pointing his finger and responding in protest. After that, the couple exited the helicopter holding hands as if nothing had happened and waved to reporters.

As the video spread, speculation arose online that the two had a quarrel. Some suggested that this might be similar to the incident earlier this year when French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife reportedly had a physical altercation on their private plane. At that time, President Trump had jokingly advised President Macron to "make sure the door is closed" regarding the private lives of world leaders, and this anecdote resurfaced.

However, a lip-reading expert offered a different perspective. The expert interpreted that President Trump and the First Lady were discussing the escalator malfunction that occurred during their attendance at the United Nations General Assembly. On his way to deliver the keynote speech, President Trump and Melania Trump nearly got injured when the escalator stopped, prompting him to criticize the incident on social media as "truly shameful" and "an obvious act of sabotage" by United Nations staff.

The lip-reading expert interpreted President Trump as saying to Melania Trump, "I can't forgive them. They tried to hurt you." The expert also analyzed that Melania Trump seemed to be trying to dissuade him, saying, "Don't do that." Nevertheless, President Trump was presumed to have warned, "They're finished."

Previously, when President Trump visited the United Nations headquarters in New York to deliver his speech, both the escalator and teleprompter malfunctioned, and the audio for the speech was cut off, causing controversy. Afterward, on September 24, President Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, "Something truly shameful happened at the United Nations yesterday. Not just one or two, but three very malicious incidents occurred," and he immediately called for an investigation.
