    From a security perspective, these only serve to create an extensive roadblock - and a traffic jam as seen at the end. 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.

    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.

      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.

    “Jesus, these Italians oughtta do something about this shitfuck traffic.”

    “Sir, the motorcade is quite literally 100% of the traffic in the city.”

    “It’s only 40 cars, why can’t they build us a 40 lane road? Is this not a first world Christian nation?”

    So, some of them believe they have the authority to use their siren and act like Italian police, almost causing an incident in the process.

    I’m sure everything will turn out well.
