Pictures and video of rump’s Boeing 757 landing in Billings went viral on social media.

Scripps reported:

The plane of former president and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump landed in Billings, Montana Friday afternoon. Photos and video sent in by a viewer show the plane land and taxi down the runway.

According to the Billings Airport, Trump’s plane landed in Billings after a mechanical issue. He is expected to take a private plane from there to the Bozeman Airport. Secret Service is doing a complete sweep of the airport here before that takes place.

Trump posted a video on his Truth Social account after landing in Billings but he did not address the apparent issue with his aircraft.

“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 said. “I’m here to do some fundraisers and most important to support Tim Sheehy who’se running for the U.S. Senate and we think he’s going to do really well. We’re going to have a rally. And it’ll be a lot of fun.”

Trump is expected to take to the stage in Bozeman as scheduled at 9 p.m. ET on the campus of Montana State University.
