So much European taxpayer money wasted on a fleet of pedophile protectors. Stop welcoming them here.

From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock - and a traffic jam as seen at the end. Disable one in front, one in rear, and you’ve got them kettled. Plus, as you can see, it’s a very slow moving convoy. A dozen bike cops and two cars (Couchfucker + security detail) would be sufficient.
Whoever came up with this idea should be fired.

Neo has a really good video on the presidential motorcade and how it works. It is completely absurd in a place like Milan, certainly, but every part of it is there for a reason.
One size doesn’t fit all.
Moreover, the president is getting the treatment of a king. They are ostensibly fungible assets. There’s a succession plan. The more they’re protected, the more they’re a target (and invading foreign countries doesn’t help).
One size doesn’t fit all.
I agree, which is why I said using the motorcade in Milan is absurd. 🙂
and looking at their license plates, around half of them have US ones, which means those cars were probably flown in. or do they have a standing motorcade for Europe? I saw one car had german plates…
They fly them in a few days in advance.

I guess from a security perspective it also helps to obfuscate Vance’s whereabouts. It’s difficult to know which one of the 40 vehicles he’s actually in.
Obfuscation is part of the motorcade, but not to the extent you would think. The motorcade has two presidential limos, and the POTUS is typically put in one while the VP is put in the other. Or in this case, the second limo would simply be empty. The order of the limos is random. The idea being that if you manage to bomb one limo, you’d only get either the VP or POTUS, and you’d have no way of knowing which one you got until after the fact. And that’s assuming the bomb is even effective, because the presidential limos have RPG-proof windows and heavy armored plating underneath the body panels.
Most of the motorcade is focused on things like landmine detection, biological weapon detection, chemical weapon detection, standby security forces in case they need to fan out/circle the wagons and create a secure perimeter, on-site medical staff, monitoring local radio chatter, jamming equipment to activate in case of an attack, etc…

"Jesus, these Italians oughtta do something about this shitfuck traffic."
"Sir, the motorcade is quite literally 100% of the traffic in the city."
"It's only 40 cars, why can't they build us a 40 lane road? Is this not a first world Christian nation?"
His charade parade likely cost an American figure skater a gold medal. The traffic jam his ego created delayed her arrival to the venue so much she had to skip her entire warmup.
Supposedly he brought his own food with him to Italy. Why would anyone bring American food to fucking Italy
That’s probably some Secret Service thing, because the threat of poisoning is actually real. In America, the Secret Service goes to great lengths to vet potential restaurant stops wherever the POTUS/VP is going to be. But they don’t exactly have jurisdiction to do that when they’re in another country.
Notably, Trump’s love of fast food has made the Secret Service’s job extremely frustrating… He apparently has a tendency to just spontaneously demand a drive-thru stop, giving the Secret Service no time to actually run security checks on the staff ahead of time.
I wonder how much piss, shit, and semen Trump eats on a regular basis from these spontaneous McDonald's stops. 🤔

Because he thinks someone will try to poison him. The Stalinist paranoia has set in.
Is it really paranoia if its a very credible realistic fear?

Well I guess sofas are quite big. If JD boy brought his whole harem... That's a lot of cars.
I believe when you split them up like this (one piece per car) they are called sectionals. Or if you're JD Vance: sexualnals.

Boooooooooooooooooooo
Boooooo!!!!! Go back to your couch!!!
Lots of big black vehicles..
Those are the villains of this movie, right?
This stupid spectacle is deliberate because the US is so fucking important, and stupid.
Meanwhile the pope was okay with a Fiat 500
That first one was weighed down like crazy.
Second one was super light on suspension.
I'm assuming the first one was armoured then but why have the principal in the first car?
Maybe they have multiple ones armoured.
He's there in Italy and don't even use the time to try some proper car.
So, some of them believe they have the authority to use their siren and act like Italian police, almost causing an incident in the process.
I'm sure everything will turn out well.
I bet italian people feel so honored by his visit
Italy is run by a Fascist party, and Fascism is doing well.
That was just over a year ago.
We have a fascism return in different part of Europe, but it looks more like a meme return than something really that dangerous (at the moment). We have evidence that USA artificially financed these extreme right-wing parties thru Bennon, an Epstein friend.
Italian People = Facist?
well US people = Facist?
Sigh... reminds me I have to file my US tax returns.
Keep being scared little piggy!
Wait. Are these motorcades just staged and ready in every country they might visit? Or do they fly the vehicles ahead of them?
They are flown ahead of the visit. I'm sure there are multiple fleets and perhaps a few doted around the country for frequent visits at NY, camp David or maralargo. But for other countries it's a fly in and fly out.
Insane
1:01 did they almost just fucking crash 🤣
I hope the locals were like "I didn't know which car to boo for, so I booed to all of them"
Is Just Dumb taking another family vacation? Looks like something straight out of Chechnya.
"I told you... (deep breath) they all need to have BENCH SEATS in the REAR! WHAT the FUCK do I PAY YOU PEOPLE FOR??!?? Don't you KNOW who I AM???"
Spreading ~~freedom~~ uh ~~democracy~~ uh unnavigable traffic! It's cute that they brought some gridlock from home so that the Americans would feel at home.
Partisans used to put ieds on delays in the middle of roads, usually hidden in cowpats. Why delays? that way they would be triggered by the first vehicle - usually security - but the second car - usually full of the nazi brass - would be the ones that copped the blast.
