Trump motorcade travels by road from Texas to Oklahoma due to weather
Former President Trump traveled by motorcade from Denton, Texas, to Durant, Oklahoma, after severe weather conditions prevented the use of his usual aircraft. The ground transport reached high speeds to accommodate the schedule between campaign events.
On Thursday, former President Trump’s motorcade traveled from a manufacturing facility in Denton, Texas, to a campaign event in Durant, Oklahoma, by road. The decision to forgo air travel was prompted by stormy weather conditions in the region, which made both helicopter and airplane transit unfeasible for the trip.
Reports indicate that the motorcade reached speeds approaching 100 mph during the journey. This high-speed transit was necessary to ensure the former president could reach his second scheduled event in Oklahoma on time despite the change in transportation plans. The route covered the distance between the Peterbilt Motors plant in Texas and the destination in Oklahoma, navigating through the inclement weather that had grounded his standard aviation options.
