Although appearing confident as he left he motorcade, some of the crowd booed and jeered the outspoken Republican who waved to those who had gathered outside.
He was joined by his wife Melania and several bodyguards in what is traditionally a Democratic city. His rival Hillary Clinton voted earlier.
