Lots of big black vehicles..
Those are the villains of this movie, right?
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.
Yeah but that means those fast food places don't have a chance to prep the poison, either🧠ðŸ§
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?
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.
1:01 did they almost just fucking crash 🤣
From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock. 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.
It's all performance
He's sooo much more important than you.

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.
That was a very interesting video, thanks for the share

Loads RPG
I had the same impulse when seeing that convoy. I think there should be enough stuff from the war in ex-yugoslavia floating around, and with the current political climate there shouldn't be an issue finding 50-100 people to place on rooftops.
the secret service wants to know your location.
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, monitoring local radio chatter, jamming equipment to activate in case of an attack, etc…
That’s very interesting. Thanks for the info
You’re right. Only the first two vehicles show signs of armouring. I don’t think that all this theatrics would happen and then not put the cargo in the armoured car. But I’m not an expert, just a critic
While this is going on, Vance actually travels by subway, donning sunglasses and fake mustache and beard.
He's in one of two cars, they're easily identifiable. The rest are various security assets. Armed dudes, jamming suites, surveillance, etc.
It's them applying the same strat as in the US even though they are in Milan and the roads are twice as narrow.
I suppose they think there is so many cars it would be hard to know in which the couch fucker is. But still you are correct to say that convoy could be easily completely blocked. And in that case you could have an army to defend it it would be a very bad situation.
Or given a raise if something happened.
Unless you are not in America, being surprise at the incompetence and stupidity of these fuckers in power is unacceptable.
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.
Sectionals just don't have the same cushion Vance is looking for
No problem, just blow up all 40.
Sigh... reminds me I have to file my US tax returns.
This stupid spectacle is deliberate because the US is so fucking important, and stupid.
Keep being scared little piggy!
"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.
Isn't 40 cars too few? I mean, he could have at least taken 90 🌚
There is a war lord from my country who has been the head of parliament for at least 30 years who used to send out a huge convoy of cars and security only to be driving himself in an old busted up car. I don't know if that's true, it could have been a rumour. Also I hope the couch fucker tries to fuck a folding couch and it snaps his little sausage off.
What a bullshit...i hope some crazy dude does something, what? Who know.
Also, you saying but this is a terrible idea wapecially in Italy with our normal sized streets...(USA STREETS ARE NOT NORMAL) and they also did it with big ass cars, like, wtf?? I understand everthing but you can't dk this bullshit and bring big ass cars
He needed this many so that Italy wouldn’t try hanging him
I wish. Meloni can't help sucking up to them.
If he wanted to bring his sofa harem with him, he should have rented a truck.
Lol
