Confirmation on TSF being off the trail

[Metaphorical]

72. I've wondered about this

Flying private planes is very expensive, especially when they are a 757 like Trump's. Fuel costs around $7 a gallon for 100LL fuel, and a Boeing 757 holds about 11,000 gallons of fuel (at about 1000 gallons an hour), plus fueling service costs, so close to $80,000 a fill-up. Boseman's about 6 hours from Mar-a-lago, so there and back runs pretty much a full tank of gas, and if big backers are backing off, Trump may be paying out of pocket.

Of course, the whole thing about this trip is fishy - go to Montana, which isn't really even a competitive state at this point, then mysterious mechanical problems (which may be legitimate if he can't afford regular maintenance of that monster) which drops him off in Billings, where it's unlikely that there is a press presence. An ideal place for someone (perhaps Russian?) to meet with Trump with no camera coverage.
