President Trump's new limousine reportedly costs $1.5 million and comes complete with a fridge stocked with samples of his blood type.
NBC reports that Trump on Tuesday rolled up to the United Nations in the new vehicle , nicknamed The Beast like the previous limo. The new limousine's predecessor was introduced during President Obama's first term.
The new Beast is one of a dozen initially estimated at $15.8 million in total, and is plated with a military grade armor and has five-inch, multilayer windows, according to NBC. All the protective measures make the doors as heavy as those of a 757 jet.
It's also stocked with a variety of light weapons in case an assailant actually breaches the outer defenses, including a shotgun and tear gas cannon.
The limo also contains a fridge stocked with the president's blood type and an extensive array of medical supplies, NBC reported.
The vehicle is reportedly able to seat seven passengers and is protected against biochemical attacks and comes with flat-run tires.
It’s horrible that they have to think of that.
What, no Sunroof?
President Trump's new limousine reportedly costs $1.5 million...Someone went way overboard with the dealer add-ons.
An armored vehicle with bullet proof glass and a ton of armor and whos’s knows what other kinds of defensive measures can get expensive. With Obama-bots and Maxine Waters-bots and thousands of other vermin out there intending to do harm, can you blame him?
Where’s the scandal?
At times, that seemed like all the extras I had in some sets of wheels.
Mine has a flip-down thingy in the ceiling that serves a purpose I cannot fathom.
No mention of a cigarette lighter ;-)
Oh...Noos.
Now the left will say he drinks blood!
Ha.
LOLOL
He should make it talk like KITT in Night Rider and really piss em off.
I’m wondering if this practice began after JFK’s tragedy.
Anyone know?
And, the ambulance in the motorcade?
My dog wants one!
Most of that was spent on the “undercoating”.
That’s how they getcha.
Are they gonna sell the old one on eBay?
For me it holds the garage opener.
Wow! Does it fly?
Unfortunately nothing in the latest beast could have saved JFK.
Amplitude Modulation, it's used mostly in radio broadcast transmissions and uses a carrier wave.
It's the radio of choice for us out west.☺
This reminded of the party bus Saint Bath House of Man’s Country had built - in Canada. Anyone know what happened to it?
