Trump’s plane was on route to Bozeman, Montana for a Friday night rally before diverting to Billings, Montana, which was located a few hours away from his final destination.
The former president is still expected to arrive in Bozeman in time for the rally.
“I just landed in a really beautiful place: Montana. So beautiful, flying over, and you just look down and that’s the way it’s supposed to be,” Trump stated in a video posted to social media.
Secret Service agents reportedly conducted a “complete sweep of the airport” before Trump began to board a private plane on his way to the rally.
“His aircraft had mechanical issues, and he was diverted into the Billings-Logan Airport,” a spokesperson for the airport stated.
Trump’s Bozeman rally will be the first outdoor rally Trump attends since the assassination attempt which nearly claimed the former president’s life.
