The

state of Arizona

is traditionally considered a "swing state", which is why Trump uses up his last reserves in the final spurt of the election campaign.

However, one incident now overshadowed one of his campaign events.

His

security

staff took up position, the view of the sky promised something ominous for them: During

Trump's

speech in

Bullhead City

on Wednesday,

an airplane violated

the airspace of the event, which had been cordoned off in advance for the president's appearance.

As the

North American Air Defense Command has

now announced, the aircraft had entered the exclusion zone - and did not respond to radio messages.

2020 US election: jet fighter intercepts plane during Trump speech

This puts

Trump's security personnel on the

ground and in the air on red alert. An

F-16 fighter jet

has been dispatched to bring the situation under control.

Signal lights

were used to warn the pilot of the aircraft.

Only then did he react to the radio messages and maneuver his machine out of the closed airspace "without further incidents" - the

fighter jet

escorted the aircraft to outside the

exclusion

zone and range of the

US President

.

According to CNN, the

Secret Service agents

present on site

reacted

immediately to the incident.

They were apparently moving quickly towards the president but did not take the stage after the situation quickly proved to be in error and the plane turned off.

The

aircraft

was indeed to see at any time of the event, the

fighter jet

was but well heard.

Trump

therefore interrupted his speech, looked up at the sky and assumed that the fighter jet pilot wanted to show off to him.

Trump stages the security incident as a spectacle

TV pictures show the smoke of the fired signal lights, which

visibly pleased

Trump

: “Check it out!

Look, look, look!

Take a look at this: You gave the president a little demonstration. ”The on-site audience was also enthusiastic about the“ performance ”and cheered“ USA! ”
