    Golf Force One: Armour-plated cart follows Trump around course

    Tell-tale signs of measures to deter would-be assassins as
    president tees off

    In addition to the stream of army trucks, road checkpoints,
    and sniper positions around rural Turnberry, Mr Trump’s team
    deployed an additional security measure in the form of a
    black-clad, reinforced golf cart.

    While the president opted to drive a standard white-framed
    buggy around the course, a distinctly bulkier off-road
    vehicle trailed him closely throughout.

    . . .

    Not the worst idea in todays' dangerous world.

    However it IS fuckin' UGLY - looks like something
    you'd use for midnight raids on Iran. Surprised
    there isn't a 20mm gun on top. Maybe one pops
    up if needed ?

    Try traditional golf-cart colors guys ... green
    or blue and white :-)

    Fanatics HAVE tried to kill Trump at least TWICE
    that we've heard of - one time on a golf course.
    Fingers literally on triggers, and that doesn't
    count the PLOTS by those looking to hire mercenaries.
    Other world leaders have been threatened of late
    as well.

    It's odd ... kind of back to the pre-WW1 era with
    little bomb-throwing anarchists running amok and
    deep divisions everywhere. History never exactly
    repeats, but some of the bigger "themes" do and
    spawn at least familiar futures.
