ANOTHER SCARE: Trump Forced to Switch Helicopters After Problem with Wheel (VIDEO)
2025-04-04
[GatewayPundit] President Trump was forced to switch helicopters due to a ‘wheel issue.’

Trump departed DC en route to Florida on Thursday evening. The President will first visit his Doral golf club to attend a LIV dinner and then fly to Palm Beach to end the evening at Mar-a-Lago.

The President arrived at Miami International Airport Thursday afternoon, ready to board Marine One en route to his Doral golf club, when he was forced to switch helicopters.

Trump, wearing a red hat, was spotted walking across the tarmac to another helicopter.

#3  Brand-new aircraft and fastidious maintenance tradition by the Marine Corps make a flat tire suspicious. Most obviously, it removes the redundancy factor the USSS uses to deter anyone knowing what aircraft POTUS uses until the last moment.

#2  If a pilot feels that the aircraft is unsafe in one way or another, he/she has the discretion to scrub the flight until the problem is rectified.

Pretty standard procedure and not so 'Scary', although Skid does note what could be considered concerning.
