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.

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.

    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.
