FORE-TIFIED: Heavily armored ‘Golf Force One’ debuts after assassination attempt

1

From NY Post: President Trump’s security team has debuted what appears to be a heavily armored golf cart 10 months after a would-be assassin aimed an SKS-style rifle toward him at his West Palm Beach tee resort.

As the president played at the Trump Turnberry course in South Ayrshire, Scotland, this weekend, an imposing, apparently heavily fortified black vehicle followed close behind — with security experts saying it bears all the hallmarks of an armor-reinforced golf cart in the mold of Trump’s official limo, a k a “The Beast.”

Trump drove a standard white golf cart as he played, but the bulky silhouette of the latest addition to his security fleet — which appears to be a modified Polaris Ranger XP — stood out like a sore thumb on the course.


Security expert Gary Relf, director of Armoured Car Services, commented on the vehicle lie.

“Just looking at the front windscreen, that looks armored,” Reid told The Telegraph.

He said the vehicle was likely meant for “defensive, not offensive” purposes.

“From those photos, that is 100% armored,” he told the outlet. “The windscreen is a giveaway, as are the side panels, doors and the large panel at the rear above the load tray.”

Reid also thought the tinted windows may be robust transparent armor.

“The thicker the transparent armoring, the more tinted the window looks,” he said.
