On Sunday, President Trump was observed using small stairs while boarding Air Force One, according to reports. The decision followed the discovery of a suspicious hunting stand near Palm Beach International Airport with an unobstructed view of the area where Trump accesses the presidential aircraft.
A White House official confirmed that heightened security measures at the airport prompted the use of the smaller steps. The Secret Service identified the potential threat during advance preparations, though no individuals were present or involved in the incident. The FBI is leading the investigation into the discovery, with officials stating there was no disruption to Trump’s movements.
Trump traveled to Florida on Friday and remained in West Palm Beach, where he frequently stays at his Mar-a-Lago resort. Air Force One was temporarily stationed in the area due to ongoing construction, though it has previously utilized the location.
