Trump lands in Miami, but switches helicopters before trip to Doral due to ‘wheel issue’
President Trump arrives in Miami on Air Force One
President Trump arrived at Miami International Airport on Thursday, April 3. He then flew on helicopter to his Doral golf resort where he was to speak at a dinner event.
MIAMI — President Donald Trump arrived at Miami International Airport on Thursday afternoon, April 3, at 4:45 p.m. aboard Air Force One, but an apparent tire issue with his presidential helicopter forced him to switch choppers.
The president boarded a helicopter, known as Marine One when the president rides in it, for the short ride to his Doral golf club, where he is scheduled to speak Thursday evening. However, just before take-off, a “wheel issue” was discovered. The president was escorted to a second helicopter on the airport tarmac. His helicopter and a second one then took off for Doral just before 5:30 p.m.
The wheel issue appeared to be the back tire of the helicopter, which appeared flat. The three presidential helicopters had arrived at the airport about a half hour before Air Force One.
Trump is scheduled to travel to Mar-a-Lago on Thursday evening, arriving by about 10 p.m.
On Saturday and Sunday, Trump is expected to travel to his Jupiter golf course for the first time in his second presidency. While the White House hasn’t said why Trump will travel to his Jupiter course, the club’s senior championship, in which Trump has been known to compete, runs Friday through Sunday.
Also, Trump National in Jupiter on Saturday night will host the Palm Beach County Police Benevolent Association’s 17th annual Police Officer’s Ball, according to an invitation for that event.
Trump is expected to spend part of Saturday and Sunday at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, according to a notice of temporary flight restrictions issued by the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to restrictions from the FAA, Trump likely will leave Palm Beach for Washington about 9 p.m. Sunday.
This would be Trump’s eighth weekend in Palm Beach County since his Jan. 20 inauguration.

Girl, 12, shot while sitting in parked car in northwest Miami-Dade, deputies say
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 12-year-old girl was shot in the arm after gunfire erupted in a northwest Miami-Dade neighborhood early Tuesday morning, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said they responded just before 1 a.m. to the area of Northwest 64th Street and Northwest 21st Avenue in the county’s Gladeview area, where they found three vehicles struck by gunfire, including a silver Hyundai.
“The car was parked outside of the residence. It was occupied by three juveniles, so it was the girl and her two siblings that were in the vehicle. The mom was outside of the vehicle at the time, so this could have been a very different outcome,” MDSO Detective Samantha Choon said.
Authorities said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue medics transported the girl to a nearby hospital in stable condition.
A family member of the victim told Local 10’s Jackie Pascale that the girl is now home and doing OK.
They said neither her siblings nor their mother was injured in the shooting.
According to investigators, no arrests have been made, and detectives have not released any suspect information at this time.
Neighbor Marie Grimes said she was shaken after hearing multiple gunshots.
“I heard the booms — boom, boom, boom, boom — and I said, ‘Oh my God, what’s happening?’” she said. “Maybe five or six, ’cause look at that right there. I’m just glad the little girl is OK.”
Investigators asked neighbors to check their surveillance or Ring camera footage from around 1 a.m. and contact authorities with any information.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477. Anonymous tips are accepted.
