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.

      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.
