Trump's 'Cadillac One' limo will have tear gas cannon, shotgun: report © Getty Images Donald Trumps new presidential limousine will be fully stocked with weaponry, bullet-proof windows and doors, and even bottles of the president-elects blood type in case of emergencies, according to new reports.
The Cadillac One limousine, set to debut on Inauguration Day, will replace a fleet of nearly a dozen limos that have served President Obama since 2009, Autoweek reported.
The new presidential limousine, also known as The Beast, will cost as much as $1.5 million, the New York Post reported.
The limo will be stocked with the president's blood type in case the ambulance that travels with the motorcade can't get access to Trump, Autoweek said. It also will be equipped with a tear gas cannon and a shotgun. It will also reportedly be plated with military-grade armor, making the doors so heavy that President Trump won't be able to open them from the inside.

I’m currently trying to figure out to work razor wire, Dobermanns and Katanas into the mix...
That. Is. Awesome.
:D
When hubby was about to build my first trike, he asked what I wanted.
I said "Something out of Mad Max".
I didn't get the rear-mounted .50 cal or flame throwers but I did get lots of skulls and spikes. :)
It needs to be gold.
How about a top turret, like a B-17?
I tremendously enjoyed perusing your profile page. You have terrific taste in just about everything. :-)
Impossible, the car is powered by him and an exercise machine under the hood!
Thanks!
It’s kinda like my cyber-junk drawer.
:D
Just install a pair of miniguns that pop out of the fenders.
They probably had a van designed and built in anticipation of hillary winning. However, she lost, and the van was scrapped. Since the van was scrapped, they scrambled to build this.
Dave,
Let’s think about what I actually said for a second...just for a second.
Trump voiced his disapproval over the cost of the new Air Force One, before the first one was even built. Trump voiced his disapproval of the cost of the F-35 program that is ongoing.
What I said was that I don’t think Trump would have approved of the cost per vehicle, which is $1.5 million for a single limo, because it would be yet another example of a government program with out of control costs.
What I did not say, which is what you seem to be implying, was that Trump personally commissioned and approved the project.
The new presidential limos have been in planning/production for two or three years, as might be expected.
I was seriously joking.
Your original post was poorly written and gave me that impression. Your post to me was well written and clear.
Magnesium aluminate spinel or aluminum oxynitride are much lighter and more effective than “bulletproof glass”.
