President Donald Trump has officially arrived at a public event where he debuted his new presidential limo—"The Beast," as it's known colloquially. Like the previous Beast, first used by President Barack Obama in 2009, the new version is built by General Motors and visually denoted as a Cadillac, and its latest iteration adopts more modern styling cues and surely packs more advanced technology. Although the details are kept secret, the new Beast is, like its predecessor, a heavily armored stretch limousine that, despite looking like a stretched CT6 or XTS sedan, is actually built on a heavy-duty GMC TopKick truck platform and supposedly weighs upward of 15,000 pounds. Its somewhat conventional styling attempts to mask the sedan's imposing footprint, but in reality it is far larger than any full-size truck or SUV on the road today. We don't know what is under the hood, but it's surely a stout powertrain to be able to move around something so massive.

Presidential limos are like drag racing funny cars. They kinda sorta look like a real car, but they aren’t. The presidential limo is really a moving SHTF bunker that is black and shiny.

You need to send that sentiment to @POTUS. He’ll get a kick out of it.
PDJT should have bought a limo made in Russia just to torque the democrats

Downhill
Watch this:
God help us.
Maybe they don’t have to worry about listening devices installed by Brennan on his way out.
Downhill, with a tailwind.
Let us not forget that, specifically, Communism and Islam have brought us to the point where nearly every politician requires round-the-clock security and the president requires a high-tech souped-up tank merely to get from A to B due to domestic and foreign threats.
Dammit!
