President Trump gets new bulletproof golf truck for ‘safe swings’

President Donald Trump has been provided with a new heavily armored golf utility vehicle, dubbed “Golf Force One,” which was recently seen accompanying him and his son Eric at the Trump Turnberry golf course in Scotland. The Polaris Ranger X-based vehicle is part of the Presidential fleet and offers ballistic protection tailored for rapid off-road response, addressing the unique security challenges posed by open golf course environments. The vehicle’s armor modifications, likely costing up to $190,000, provide scalable ballistic resistance depending on threat levels, ranging from protection against blunt objects to sniper rifles. The introduction of this armored golf buggy follows several recent security incidents involving Trump, including an attempted shooting at his Florida golf club in 2024 and a prior attack during a campaign event. Given Trump’s frequent golfing and tendency to drive his cart away from nearby Secret Service agents, the new vehicle aims to enhance his protection by offering faster emergency response and cover. The Secret Service has not disclosed specific details about the vehicle or its modifications, citing operational security,
