Donald Trump was forced to switch helicopters at Miami International Airport after his initial Marine One aircraft suffered a flat tire on the tarmac. Footage posted to social media shows the president, wearing a red MAGA hat, moving from one helicopter to another for a flight to his Doral golf club, where Trump will appear for a LIV golf event. According to the press pool at the scene, Trump, after landing at Miami International, stepped off at 4:55 p.m., only stopping to give the press a raised fist. He boarded Marine One at 4:56 p.m., however the flight never took off. The first helicopter’s flat tire could be spotted as it remained on the tarmac. After a slight delay, according to NBC News, Trump boarded another helicopter and landed at Doral at 5:35 p.m. He is expected to give a speech for a dinner ahead of the LIV Golf Tournament, which tees off at the club this weekend.
