DC people: does this look like any Presidential Motorcade you have EVER seen?

How about the "Seekrit Service™" guy in loafers?

President Trump just drove by the #MillionMAGAMarch in DC and the crowd went crazy. I ran along side the motorcade. Notice him waving right after you see security walking beside the car.

Guys. The Seekrit Service™ *don't even have matching pants.*

This is sub-North Korean propaganda. It ain't a Motorcade, and that likely isn't Trump.

Did you see how close they got to the Principal vehicle (trump)? There was only a bike cop that I saw and the guy jogging in front of the SUV looked more like a caddy than an Agent.

I really hope that was one of their fakes. If so and if sanctioned, someone should be fired, but hey, its 2020 and he's coasting towards indictment and retirement.

The Secret Service clear the street for blocks. You can’t run up to the president’s Beast. Where was the beast? Where was the secret service? That was so fake.

I noticed all the brilliant hump supporters went for it. They couldn't find their asses with both hands.

.. but good spotting -- I never noticed the president's security detail looking like this or wearing tennis shoes ...

... did pick up on the proximity to the crowd being unusual; and lack of 'the beast' ...

... so, I suspect it was a sham (and have you ever seen 45 with a smile like that????...

Does anyone have clips of him at the golf course after this?


Heh, maybe this was when he hopped a jet and left for Moscow? ha

The 2nd video clearly shows the communications and electronic countermeasure vehicles and part of the counter assault team so it looks like those were USSS personnel at least.

All those official govt vehicles, drivers, security, staff, and was the president's medical team in that motorcade... That stuff doesn't roll out for free.

That said, he was entirely too close to parked vehicles (U-haul truck bomb?) and to people in general.

Since the crowd had their KoolAid this morning, it actually wasn't a security issue. But post JFK, it was a serious breech of SS procedure's IMHO...
