Trump's Armored Golf Cart Spotted in Scotland

A new addition to President Donald Trump's security detail has made its debut at his golf course in Scotland, where his visit has drawn protests and a bomb threat. As the president hit the links of his Turnberry golf course this weekend, a black golf cart that appeared to be heavily fortified was seen following close behind. Dubbed 'Golf Force One' by media outlets, the souped-up cart arrives roughly 10 months after Trump survived an alleged assassination attempt while golfing. Trump, however, chose to cruise the course in a regular white golf cart on Saturday and Sunday, with the Golf Force One keeping close company. Experts told The Telegraph that the vehicle's heavy armor is evident from the distinctive black band around the windscreen. 'The windscreen is a giveaway, as are the side panels, doors, and the large panel at the rear above the load tray,' said an expert, who asked to remain anonymous due to the confidential nature of his work. The president's official limousine 'The Beast' is similarly fortified. The $1.5 million Cadillac is bulletproof, blast resistant and hermetically sealed against chemical attacks, according to The Telegraph. Trump's private visit has drawn nearly a third of Police Scotland's manpower, according to Daily Mail. Several police snipers were observed setting up positions around the rural area where Trump stayed this weekend. The Independent reports that 1,500 officers have been pulled from their normal duties in support of Trump's four-day visit. Police Scotland has only said the costs would be 'considerable,' according to the Los Angeles Times. But policing for Trump's four-day visit to the U.K. in 2018—which also included two days in Turnberry—cost taxpayers more than $19 million. Widespread protests broke out in the country upon his arrival, with hundreds of demonstrators gathering in Edinburgh and other cities on Saturday, according to The Mirror US. Meanwhile, a man who said he had a bomb and wanted to 'send a message' to Trump forced a Glasgow-bound flight to make an emergency landing Sunday morning. In September 2024, Secret Service agents spotted a man aiming a rifle from the bushes at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida. Trump was approximately 900 to 1500 feet away, according to BBC. Agents fired at the suspect, 58-year-old Ryan Routh, who fled the scene but was later arrested by police about 40 miles from the course. He has pleaded not guilty to federal charges related to the incident. Two months earlier, Trump survived another attempt on his life during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A U.S. Secret Service spokesperson declined to comment on the 'Golf Force One' when contacted by the Daily Beast, stating, 'The U.S. Secret Service employs a variety of tools and resources to safeguard our protectees. In order to maintain operational security, the Secret Service does not discuss the specific means and methods used to conduct our protective operations.' The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. Solve the daily Crossword

Zion man charged with reckless homicide in crash that killed son; ‘There is absolutely no excuse for putting children … at risk'

A Zion man was under the influence of drugs and driving recklessly when he crashed his car and killed his young son in November, Lake County authorities said Tuesday. Steven McKnight Jr., 25, of the 900 block of Country Wood Drive, has been charged with aggravated DUI for having marijuana in his system and reckless homicide in the crash that killed his son, 5-year-old Sy'mere. McKnight's 2-year-old son was badly injured in the crash, police said. The charges came at the conclusion of the investigation into the Nov. 26, 2024, head-on collision on Green Bay Road, just north of Hart Street in Beach Park. Witnesses reported that McKnight was driving south on Green Bay Road at about 5 p.m. and was passing other southbound vehicles using the northbound lane. While in the wrong lane, his Chevrolet Malibu collided with a northbound GMC Sierra being driven by a Wisconsin man. McKnight suffered serious injuries and had to be extricated. Police said his 2-year-old was riding in McKnight's lap at the time of the crash. He reportedly told first responders that no one else was in the car, but his 5-year-old was later discovered beneath debris in the vehicle, police said. Sy'mere was rushed to a hospital, but was pronounced dead. Neither child appears to have been in a safety seat, police said. 'This crash was not an accident, it was the result of reckless, impaired driving that took the life of an innocent … child, severely injured another child, and seriously injured an uninvolved motorist who was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time,' Sheriff John Idleburg said. 'There is absolutely no excuse for putting children, or anyone, at risk.' McKnight was taken into custody on July 24, and Lake County prosecutors filed to detain him until trial. That motion has been granted, authorities said.
