Donald Trump's private 757 jet was forced to make an emergency landing after suffering a mechanical problem. 'Trump Force One' reportedly experienced a hydraulic leak and landed safely in Billings, Montana, before the former US President boarded a different aircraft.

Trump's Boeing 757-200 diverted to Billings-Logan International Airport (BIL) on Friday ahead of his campaign rally in Bozeman, Montana. The presidential nominee was supposed to land at Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport (BZN), but the diversion left him around 150 miles away in Billings.

While there has been no official word on the reason for the diversion from Trump's camp, sources claim the aircraft suffered a "hydraulic leak." The aging aircraft had spent years in storage up until a couple of years ago The US Secret Service only confirmed that the aircraft diverted due to a mechanical problem, and that it was not related to a security concern.

Sorry to be such a buzzkill but hey, we're the ones who are supposed to live in a fact-based universe. Except for couches. Couches, I'll allow.

His Mar a lago lifestyle.

The lower class blue collar worker is sending his hard earned money to a “ supposedly” billionaire. Fools and their money parted for a conman.
