During Donald Trump‘s visit to his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire, Scotland, on Saturday, an armoured golf cart nicknamed “Golf force one” was deployed for his security. The reinforced buggy followed him throughout the game. The buggy, believed to be a reinforced Polaris Ranger XP, appeared heavily armoured,and could serve as a quick getaway vehicle in case of an attack. The black vehicle has drawn comparisons to “The Beast”, the bulletproof car used to transport US presidents.“From those photos, that is 100 per cent armored. The windscreen is a giveaway, as are the side panels, doors, and the large panel at the rear above the load tray,” a car armor expert told The Telegraph.A US secret service spokesperson didn’t confirm specific details to Daily Mail, saying only that the agency uses “a variety of tools” to keep protectees safe.Trump has often said he feels at home in Scotland, where his late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born on the Isle of Lewis. But Trump faced demonstrators gathered in Edinburgh and other UK cities, calling the visit part of a broader problem with Trump’s politics. Many held signs and marched as part of the “Stop Trump coalition.” One 15-year-old protester in Edinburgh, Amy White, held a sign reading, “We don’t negotiate with fascists.” “We’re here together because we hate him,” she said. At the golf course itself, a lone protester, Matt Halliday, managed to breach the tight security to display signs linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein and mocking him with a message about bagpipes. Despite the protests and heavy security, Trump played the full round with his son Eric and ambassador Warren Stephens.
