Amazing. Bravo!
Government efficiency at its finest
Wonder how much that thing cost us.
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.
Both attempts were false flags.
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.
Loser
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:
Generally, he's a cunt, and this was before his 2016 bid for president.
Turned up there, fucking nonce.
more shit the Americans have to pay for by getting stupid with their voting
You know he's gonna have to get out of that buggy at some point.
I was in the area of his golf course near Aberdeen earlier this year. I also noticed a lot of the farmers collect the farm dung and move it, probably to a centerlized place to be processed.
my idea was to pay some of these drivers to leave a few mounds of the shit next to the signs directing you from the freeway to the golf course. And then maybe a drop a few more in strategic areas so that the smell finds its way to the course.
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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_assassination_attempts_and_plots
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.
They have to hide in their own country behind bullet proof cars and windows. In developed countries the equivalent of the president takes the bike or train to work.
Cool cool cool. Release the files.

He cheats at golf as well.
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.
Scots hate living in Scotland; they only live there out of spite to the English.
My reactions in order:
“Oooo… where can I get this armored UTV?”
“Damn, it’s not an armored UTV. Rifle-rated armor would probably be too heavy anyway. Author sucks.”
googles armored UTV
“Helloooooo The Armored Group!”
In other news: GTA VI release delayed, Rockstar says it needs more time to incorporate new ideas from reality, ensuring the game stays relevant with the current day and age. /s
Assassinating a guy driving around in an armoured golf cart does sound like a GTA mission.
Punk bitch. Pedo rapist.
Oh fear, there is so much fear, fear is so dense... yeah fear is dense like the fog inside that vehicle... hahahahaha good. The evil should be afraid, not us.
I like how about 70 times a round he needs to leave the air conditioned comfort and stand verrry still, outside, for a few minutes at a time. That's more a risk than yahoos with placards will ever pose.
Sounds like the Scottish want to see the files too.
He didn't look very orange in that picture of him waving. He also looks so much older without makeup.
That's why he sprays himself with it. He absolutely looks like a ghoul without it.
The spray tan still makes Trumpy look like a ghoul.
Because he kinda is.
