That's probably less armor than he has around him in the official limo when he's here.

I'd guess that there are more people with anti-materiel rifles over here.

EDIT: Oh, according to the article, that's just some sort of evacuation vehicle for if he does come under attack. Apparently he's in a regular golf cart.

IIRC he wasn't in an armored vehicle when we had that sniper try to take him out when he was golfing here, so maybe the amount of armor is none in both cases.

EDIT2: I don't know who the last President is where we haven't had at least one known incident where someone, usually us, tried to kill him. Probably quite a few years back.

Going off a quick skim of that list:

• Trump: 11 incidents so far, with him being hit in the ear at one point.

• Biden: 2

• Obama: 11

• Bush Jr: 2

• Clinton: 5

• Bush Sr: 1

• Reagan: Only 1, though in that incident he was hit by a riccochet and the bullet stopped just short of his heart.

• Carter doesn't have any incidents, so I guess the last time we elected someone and then didn't try to kill them was the 1970s. Though this sounds kind of sketchy, and I dunno if maybe it should count as an attempt:

What is the average casualty rate as a green beret?

17 combat deaths per year divided by 7,000 active green berets per year is a fatality rate of approximately 0.24% per year

Four sitting U.S. presidents have been killed: Abraham Lincoln (1865), James A. Garfield (1881), William McKinley (1901), and John F. Kennedy (1963).

From 1789 to 2025, we've had 236 years as a country led by a President, so about 1.70% annual mortality rate for Presidents. Going by those numbers, it's a little more than seven times as lethal to be President as to be Army special forces.

EDIT4: Though the Netherlands has a higher rate of cannibalism of their national leaders.
