Former President Donald Trump, who was in Atlanta on Wednesday for a fundraiser, is headed out of town.

Some interstates were temporarily closed as his entourage headed toward Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Those roads have since reopened.

Trump arrived in town Wednesday morning for a fundraiser in Buckhead. That caused intermittent road closures and parking restrictions.

He also found time to mingle at a Chick-fil-A. He swung by the Vine City restaurant on his way to Buckhead, ordering 30 milkshakes for patrons.

“Hello everybody, get ready for a milkshake,” he told a crowd of dozens gathered in the eatery. “We’ve got plenty of them.”
