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.

Is he afraid someone is gonna start chucking all the Epstein files at him?

[–] BeBopaLula@piefed.ca 12 points 5 days ago

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

The ones who asked for him are the ones who don't care.

He didn't look very orange in that picture of him waving. He also looks so much older without makeup.

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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.

Who's a bussy bitch? Trump's a bussy bitch.

Real "I think you should leave" material

That thing is weak, The Beast is badass.

Those doors look like salvage from a circa 2002 Humvee

Before we had to use improvised armor upgrades.

That stupid flak jacket was just a seat cushion. Better than the actual cushion.

Yeah, if you didn't have plates, you didn't have anything. The later shoulder pads and crotch "protector" did nothing but add weight.

Edit: also, being tall, it was more of a pelvis protector than crotch.

I gotta admit, the golf cart is pretty slick. They should have one for Luigi.

It a Polaris Ranger ATV. ATVs like that are super popular as car alternatives in rural areas of the US (one part fun and one part way more fuel efficient than driving your F150 to the local bar) and many places have been quickly legalizing these costs-as-much-as-a-car-but-is-five-times-as-deadly-to-occupants vehicles on public roads. Hilariously this one looks just as plastic and cheap as the ones I see driving around where I live, but we all know this one has been heavily upgraded and armored. Seriously just look how low its squatting from the weight!

I'm pretty sure Polaris used to have this ad about how closer together front and rear wheels was better for off-road, the ad ended somewhere along the lines of guess where we put the wheels on the Polaris Ranger, that's right. Now we have these monstrosities that cost way too much and aren't even good off-road, I'd take my crossover just about anywhere I would take that Polaris.

The Mirror is a shit rag, fuck that newspaper.

But ya.

[–] TheOctonaut@mander.xyz 6 points 5 days ago

The Mirror is the closest thing remaining to a left wing tabloid in the UK.

A good one? No.

The Scots will just need some bigger bullets.
