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.
This exists. That alone is enough for me.
Wonder how much that thing cost us.
As if you needed further proof that this thing is the antichrist, he’s riding around the opposite of the pope mobile

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.
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 will get his caddy to drop a ball into the hole, and call it a hole-in-one
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.

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.

Whatever. Epstein.
What a pansy little coward.
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.
He cheats at golf as well.

Sorry it’s from Reddit .
No he cheats at golf poorly. If he did it well he wouldn’t get caught all the time.
If the people of Scotland, of all places, have a problem with you, you should reevaluate your life choices.
Of course he won’t though.
I thought people in scotland had a problem with everyone? Including the scots.
