Flat tire grounds Marine One as Trump navigates airport hiccup
According to the Daily Mail, a fault was detected in Donald Trump's helicopter when he was about to fly from Miami International Airport. The President of the USA was transferring from Air Force One to a helicopter called Marine One to continue his journey. However, it turned out that the helicopter had a flat tire.
Donald Trump arrived on Thursday (April 3) at Miami International Airport on Air Force One just before 5:00 PM. He stopped briefly to transfer to the helicopter - Marine One. He boarded the helicopter, but some time later had to leave it.
Donald Trump had to leave the helicopter. A fault occurred
However, the helicopter never took off and remained on the runway after officials noticed it had a flat tire. Trump was then spotted in his bright red MAGA cap and suit, walking across the tarmac to another helicopter, which took off at 5:19 PM.
Despite this fault, as reported by NBC News, the president safely arrived at the Doral golf club at 5:35 PM. The president went there for a dinner preceding the LIV Golf tournament. He was then supposed to head to his Mar-a-Lago residence.
The president will likely return to Washington on Sunday evening. The Daily Mail calculates that this is already the eighth weekend Donald Trump has spent in South Florida since his inauguration, which took place in January of this year.
So far, nothing is known about the cause of the fault. However, it is certain that Trump is surrounded by particular "care" from the services that ensure his safety at every step.
