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.
Way less. That limo is up armored as close to a tank as you could possibly get.

No doubt other stuff that isn’t made public.

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.

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.
