Jon Tester during his remarks Trump also heaped praise on Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy, 37, who is currently battling Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Tester in a close race.

'You know the other one talks about valor,' Trump said referencing Walz, saying he 'has the opposite.

'I’m sick of this bulls***, we gotta save our country,' he exclaimed to the crowd while explaining the importance of his challenge against Tester. Montana Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy drew massive support from the crowd Friday It was the ex-president's first time campaigning in the state since 2018 - and the attendees, many of whom waited in line for hours before entering, told DailyMail.com they were looking forward to the 'historic' event.
Trump's fiery remarks came after a day filled with mechanical failure frustrations. Earlier in the day, Trump's plane called 'Trump Force One' suffered an issue forcing it to divert to Billings, Montana, roughly 140 miles East of Bozeman. The unexpected diversion prompted the former president to take a charter plane to the event instead of his Trump-branded Boeing 757.
