.....or was it "Diverted" because of unpaid costs for past stops? He had to fuel up in Billings because he stiffed Bozeman Airport last time and they refused to fuel his plane again. He was late to the rally. He had to go to the blame game to hide facts......again. Trump has a long history of not paying locations for costs. No surprise there. https://www.nbcmontana.com/news/local/trumps-bozeman-rally-highlights-unpaid-costs-from-past-montana-visits
Trump’s campaign has been notorious for flaking on bills for security. According to a 2019 report from the Center for Public Integrity, Trump owed more than $840,000 to various city governments, and likely more, as Trump’s campaign does not acknowledge a single one of these city governments as debt in his federal campaign financial disclosures.
In Billings, the protective measures put in place for his September 2018 rally resulted in 1,362 overtime hours between Billings PD and the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s office: 951 hours from the former, and 411 hours from the latter, bringing the total cost to $58,830.
While the Yellowstone Sheriff’s office did not bill Trump’s campaign for the $12,930 cost it incurred – a standard practice the office follows for all political campaigns – Billings PD did, and as of the publication date of this article, that $45,900 bill has been left unpaid.

Now it is being looked into. His bill to municipalities nationally is at $1,679,000 so far, many years old. You can bet it will end up being much much higher.
