okay finally an article whose text is just as oniony

The United Nations was shocked, U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said on Friday, when a Fox News host called for the world body to be bombed over U.S. President Donald Trump's difficulties with an escalator and a teleprompter.

Watters made the remarks while discussing Trump's address to world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday. Trump complained about an elevator that had stopped shortly after he stepped onto it and a teleprompter that did not work.

"What we need to do is either leave the U.N. or we need to bomb it," Watters said. "Maybe gas it ... we need to destroy it."

The United Nations has said the escalator abruptly stopped after Trump and first lady Melania Trump stepped on to it likely because a White House videographer accidentally triggered a safety mechanism. Trump also experienced issues with the teleprompter, but a U.N. official said it was being operated by the White House.

It’s really time for the UN to move to Europe or China, a new venue will take time to build, and a longer transition will be better.

Imagine building it in the Hague.
