Trump takes no chances in armored golf buggy as protesters storm streets across Scotland
-
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.

Where is the bubble around him when he gets out of the thing. I assume that’s next on the list?

If your president needs an armoured golf buggy when visiting an allied country, you may want to rethink your choice of president.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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

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.

I thought people in scotland had a problem with everyone? Including the scots.
His mother's side is Scottish.

His get away cart.
I'm sorry, but if someone opens fire on Taco in chief and isn't a Maga apologist or false flag, they're going to make those shots count. It would buy him time if he lucked out, but not much

her story is so sad. she was basically a mail order bride (it's actually even sadder and more manipulative and exploitative than that)

He likes golf as he only likes to play holes from 1 up to 18.
I wouldn't be surprised if he only ever plays the bottom 9.

That thing is weak, The Beast is badass.
Those doors look like salvage from a circa 2002 Humvee

A goddamned armored golf cart.
That sets a new personal record of my 'most out of touch, elitist thing someone can have or do'.
...
Well, Scotland basically did invent sniping, so it does make sense that a man with a
tiny penisfragile ego, who's been targeted by at least two snipers, would want some protection on a series of giant, open fields...... at least it isn't painted gold.

Golf force one... 🤮
Here's hoping everyone gets a hole in one on this golf day?
'Bogey Actual'

almost like who raises kids and how they're raised matters and resisting fascism starts with nurturing within children empathy

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

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