The buggy wasn’t driven by Trump, but is thought to be his “getaway vehicle” should anyone open fire on the course. The black, obviously armored vehicle followed Trump around as he played golf, with many experts noting that it bore similarities to “The Beast” — Trump’s protective vehicle stateside.
Government efficiency at its finest
As if you needed further proof that this thing is the antichrist, he’s riding around the opposite of the pope mobile
The Grope Mobile
Amazing. Bravo!
Wonder how much that thing cost us.
Loser
I like that the attempt on him last year has him in at least enough fear to implement a backup in case it happens again. At least there’s that tiny slice of retribution for being terrible.
Both attempts were false flags.
I want to believe that fear exists.
It’s just that the secret service, full of shitheads though it may be, is also full of agents who have lid of time to think of and insist upon this kind of thing.
Sure, they are all loyalists at this point and they know how to follow orders and not cross Dear Protectee, so Trump can’t exactly be against it. I could see one of the more senior agents tell him it’s to conceal and protect sensitive equipment and he just drools and nods along, though.
The scope of his damage is so off the scope that it’s hard to care much about how things affect him. Let’s just see some changes that help some people or at least abstain from harming them. I’m ok if Trump has “fun” closing concentration camps or disbanding the nuGestapo with its budget larger than most militaries.
What a pansy little coward.
A buggy doesn’t do him any good if he’s outside of it taking a swing. If he’s that scared, why is he even out playing golf?
He thinks he’s good at it
Good question, why does he even play golf when all he does is cheat at it just like he does at everything in his life? My best guess is he is just trying to emulate actual successful people.
He wants to feel like a winner, and it doesn’t matter to him if he’s actually a winner. He’s the biggest, sorest loser in the world, and his ego is just too fragile to admit it to himself.

I mean we haven’t seen this with other presidents.
It’s a getaway vehicle.
I think you’re saying that fallback security measures are useless?
Scottish person here: Everyone hates him, especially after what he did in Aberdeenshire. We’re pissed off that the First Minister is meeting with this bawbag.
As somebody who has lost track due to the sheer volume of issues with this man… What did he do in Aberdeenshire?
So in building his Aberdeenshire Golf Course he:
- Destroyed a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
- Tried to bully neighbouring landowners off their land by building a wall to block their sea view, cutting their electricity connection and generally harassing them.
- Tried to strong arm the Scottish Government into stopping an off shore wind farm which was so far off the coast you can barely see it (saw it myself, it’s barely visible).
- Generally tried to interfere in Scottish Politics like he’s King of Scotland.
Generally, he’s a cunt, and this was before his 2016 bid for president.
Tbf he has a bit in common with the last king of Scotland
Turned up there, fucking nonce.
I’m not abbiistabbii but here’s a link I found:
more shit the Americans have to pay for by getting stupid with their voting
You know he’s gonna have to get out of that buggy at some point.
I was in the area of his golf course near Aberdeen earlier this year. I also noticed a lot of the farmers collect the farm dung and move it, probably to a centerlized place to be processed.
my idea was to pay some of these drivers to leave a few mounds of the shit next to the signs directing you from the freeway to the golf course. And then maybe a drop a few more in strategic areas so that the smell finds its way to the course.

Cool cool cool. Release the files.
If your president needs an armoured golf buggy when visiting an allied country, you may want to rethink your choice of president.
That’s probably less armor than he has around him in the official limo when he’s here.
I’d guess that there are more people with anti-materiel rifles over here.
EDIT: Oh, according to the article, that’s just some sort of evacuation vehicle for if he does come under attack. Apparently he’s in a regular golf cart.
IIRC he wasn’t in an armored vehicle when we had that sniper try to take him out when he was golfing here, so maybe the amount of armor is none in both cases.
EDIT2: I don’t know who the last President is where we haven’t had at least one known incident where someone, usually us, tried to kill him. Probably quite a few years back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots
Going off a quick skim of that list:
-
Trump: 11 incidents so far, with him being hit in the ear at one point.
-
Biden: 2
-
Obama: 11
-
Bush Jr: 2
-
Clinton: 5
-
Bush Sr: 1
-
Reagan: Only 1, though in that incident he was hit by a riccochet and the bullet stopped just short of his heart.
-
Carter doesn’t have any incidents, so I guess the last time we elected someone and then didn’t try to kill them was the 1970s. Though this sounds kind of sketchy, and I dunno if maybe it should count as an attempt:
What is the average casualty rate as a green beret?
17 combat deaths per year divided by 7,000 active green berets per year is a fatality rate of approximately 0.24% per year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots
Four sitting U.S. presidents have been killed: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901), and John F. Kennedy (1963).
From 1789 to 2025, we’ve had 236 years as a country led by a President, so about 1.70% annual mortality rate for Presidents. Going by those numbers, it’s a little more than seven times as lethal to be President as to be Army special forces.
EDIT4: Though the Netherlands has a higher rate of cannibalism of their national leaders.
Way less. That limo is up armored as close to a tank as you could possibly get.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_state_car_(United_States)
The 2009 presidential state car model had night vision optics, a tear gas cannon, onboard oxygen tanks, an armored fuel tank filled with foam to prevent explosion, and pump-action shotguns.[1][26] Whether it was[29] or was not armed with rocket-propelled grenades,[26] the car featured eight-inch (200 mm) doors.[10]
In addition to defensive measures designed to protect the president, this state car has stores of blood in the president’s type for medical emergencies. The car is hermetically sealed against chemical attacks, and features run-flat tires, night-vision devices, smoke screens, and oil slicks as defensive measures against attackers. NBC reported that the car features armor made of aluminum, ceramic, and steel; the exterior walls have a thickness of eight inches (200 mm), the windows are multi-layered and five inches (130 mm) thick, and each door[32]—believed to be one foot (0.30 m) thick[37] and weigh as much as those on a Boeing 757—can electrify its handles to deter entry.[32]
https://spyscape.com/article/7-top-secrets-about-the-beast-presidential-limo
There are at least two identical Beasts with matching registration plates in every motorcade so attackers can’t be 100% certain which vehicle contains the president and which is the decoy. During President Joe Biden’s inauguration, there were actually seven Beasts deployed in the mother of all motorcades.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Service_Counter_Assault_Team
“Hawkeye” is the designation for a CAT assigned to the president, followed by the president’s Secret Service code name
CAT operates both as part of motorcades and at fixed sites. In the event a VIP, the VIP’s vehicle, or a protected site is attacked by multiple assailants, CAT is responsible for engaging and diverting the attackers, thereby buying the close protection shift time to evacuate the dignitary to a safe area.[9]
Hawkeye, when operating as part of a U.S. president’s motorcade, travels in a vehicle several car lengths behind the presidential state car.[11]

No doubt other stuff that isn’t made public.
They have closed airspace around him and they have fighter jets that will come investigate aircraft getting close.
https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/restricted-airspace-0
In the case of Presidential movement, the TFR is usually comprised of an outer ring (usually 30 nautical miles, but sometimes slightly more or less) and one or more inner rings (usually 10 nautical miles, but sometimes 8, 9, or 10 nautical miles). The dimensions and, even the shape, of the rings are sometimes altered to suit specific needs. For example, some TFRs are structured so that the outer ring consists of the lateral limits of a particular airport’s Class B airspace, or are created with cut-outs, as noted later in this resource.
I wouldn’t be terribly surprised if, especially in this era of easy accessibility to drones, if they’re also carrying some sort of surface-to-air weaponry, though I don’t think I’ve ever read anything about it. They have electronic warfare vehicles in the convoy, though as can be seen in Ukraine, where Russia and Ukraine are both using drones that unspool fiber optic cable behind them as they fly to defeat jamming, jamming is not, alone, a full counter to drones.
Pretty sure it has flares as well. They put everything they’ve got into it.
Air Force One does. I dunno about the ground motorcade, though.
And I’m sure that the E-4 does too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_E-4
The Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post (AACP), the current “Nightwatch” aircraft,[2] is a series of strategic command and control military aircraft operated by the United States Air Force (USAF). The E-4 series are specially modified from the Boeing 747-200B for the National Emergency Airborne Command Post (NEACP) program.[3]
The E-4 serves as a survivable mobile command post for the National Command Authority, namely the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, and successors. The four E-4s are operated by the 1st Airborne Command and Control Squadron of the 595th Command and Control Group located at Offutt Air Force Base, near Omaha, Nebraska. An E-4 when in action is denoted a “National Airborne Operations Center” (NAOC) and has been nicknamed the “Doomsday plane”.[4]
When the President travels outside of North America using a VC-25A as Air Force One, an E-4B will deploy to a second airport in the vicinity of the President’s destination, to be readily available in the event of a world crisis or an emergency that renders the VC-25A unusable.[citation needed] When President Barack Obama visited Honolulu, Hawaii, an E-4B was often stationed 200 miles away at Hilo International Airport on Hawaii Island.[28][29]
Instead of using this new pathetic armoured golf cart, maybe Trump should use one of these cars as a golf cart.
It’d sink in a water hazard.
But he has multiple of them. So just use a spare!
It’d get graffitied, set on fire by protestors, and then sunk into a water hazard.
But luckily there’s many more of them available! So pick another spare.
And would you look at that, now he has the strongest golf cart money can buy!
But look at that! He’s got yuuuuge… tracts of driving ranges.
Wtf, why is it always Harvey’s?!? Tsk, tsk, give us a bad name…
…Lee Harvey?
Going by the article, it’s just a freak coincidence.
The names “Lee Harvey” and “Osvaldo” (Osvaldo is the Spanish equivalent to “Oswald”) drew comparisons to Lee Harvey Oswald, who was suspected of having assassinated President John F. Kennedy. This led some to believe that the incident was set up to scare Carter into submission.[7][8]
EDIT: To be clear, I haven’t heard about that incident prior to this, haven’t ever read about Carter-era stuff, so I only know what’s in that article. shrugs Maybe the guy changed his name prior to the incident, maybe they only reported claimed names, dunno.
-
They have to hide in their own country behind bullet proof cars and windows. In developed countries the equivalent of the president takes the bike or train to work.
Ya. But Gaza…
All I have to say is I hope those people are happy. And proud. And satisfied.
Many of us are none of these things.
Whatever. Epstein.

Epstein? I don’t know him. I’ve never met him.
