Neo has a really good video on the presidential motorcade and how it works. It is absurd in a place like Milan, certainly, but every part of it is there for a reason.

Here is that video on Nebula

And here it is on YouTube

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).

  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…
