President Donald Trump’s motorcade approached 100 mph on wet highways Thursday after bad weather grounded his aircraft — and the president boasted about the high-speed trip in real time.
Trump was traveling from a campaign event at a Peterbilt Motors plant in Denton, Texas, to a rally roughly 90 miles away in Durant, Oklahoma, when stormy weather disrupted his travel plans. The president would typically make the trip by air, but conditions prevented planes and helicopters from landing in Oklahoma.
