Former President Donald Trump recently released an inspiring video about the state of his campaign after his plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Montana on Friday amid mechanical issues. In the video message, the Republican presidential candidate, who appeared to be aboard “Trump Force One,” praised the state of Montana, where he was heading to a fundraiser and rally.
Reportedly, Trump was forced to take a detour in his trip to Bozeman, Montana, stopping at Billings-Logan International Airport on Friday afternoon. Doug Mills shared a picture of Trump walking across the tarmac, after having just exited his plane “Following a mechanical issue on his plane, @realDonaldTrump walks off his plane in Billings MT, to get on a smaller plane, to continue to Bozeman for a fundraiser and rally,” Mills said.
Amid the unexpected landing, Trump praised the beauty of the Treasure State, where he polls well. “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. But we have a very high rating in Montana. We have a lot of popularity. I like them. They like me,” he said.
Trump highlighted his itinerary of fundraisers and supporting local Republican politicians. “But I’m here to do some fundraisers, and most importantly, to support Tim Sheehy who’s running for the US Senate, and we think he’s going to do really well. We’re gonna have a rally, and it’ll be a lot of fun. And then tomorrow, we’re gonna do some more different stops, different states, all good, all great people,” he added.
The former president also cited polls that show him leading Kamala Harris. “And we’re leading in all of the polls now. Just about every poll has us leading.” He proceeded to call out Harris on her failures in the Biden-Harris administration over the past several years. “They found out that this is a pony that we’re running against, a person that had no idea what she was doing on the border, has no idea what’s happening with inflation, had no idea what they did when it came to Afghanistan, the most embarrassing day in the life, in the life of our country, there’s never been anything so embarrassing. We should have gotten out with dignity and strength, not the way they got out. It’s an embarrassment to our country.
Trump concluded his statement maintaining that his campaign is in a great spot where he is positioned to retake the White House and make America great again. The former president touched on some of his goals once he steps back into power, such as achieving energy independence and lower prices across the inflated economy.
“So we have a great campaign. We have something that’s going to be really very important this talk. We are going to make America great again, and it’s going to happen very fast. We’re going to become energy independent again. Prices are going to start going down, including for food, for energy and everything else. And we’re going to really do what you have. Thank you very much,” Trump said.
