Secret Service Debut Armored Polaris Ranger "Golf Force One" To Help Protect Trump

During a golf outing with his son Eric at his course in Scotland on Saturday, U.S. President Donald Trump was trailed by an armored Polaris Ranger X utility task vehicle (UTV) designed to provide ballistic protection. The vehicle, now dubbed Golf Force One by the press, is “part of the Presidential fleet of specialty vehicles,” a White House spokesperson told The War Zone Monday morning. The White House provided no further details. Trump was in Scotland to host a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at his resort, where security was beefed up.

The UTV made its first apparent public appearance just 10 months after someone tried to shoot Trump at his Florida golf course. This vehicle was made by the Polaris corporation but modified by someone else, a Polaris company spokesperson confirmed to The War Zone.

It needs a hoist so they can lift him into the back (and counterweight for the front).

Or if one man's trash is another man's treasure, should garbage be protected?

The VIP may be able to waddle over and “jump” inside but the rest of those guys? Unless that thing has offensive ability, they’re goners.

It a good thing the rest of the world shares their intelligence with the U.S. Our relationships have never been better. (/s)

He's playing the victim, as usual. Got to have a fancy-scmnancy armored golf cart, paid for by the taxpayers, in order to emphasize that he's "under threat." Got to make it look like everyone is out to get him. Granted, it may also be paranoia setting in, since he likely realizes that his biggest threat are all of his own MAGAts, who are turning on him more and more every day.
