Bizarre reason why Trump travels in $1,500,000 bulletproof limousine 'The Beast' with fridge full of blood

The car is protected from all threats

It's understandable that one of the most powerful people in the world would want to stay safe when they're on the move, yet you might be shocked to find out quite how protected the president's million dollar limo is, with a number of wild features.

US President Donald Trump is no stranger to luxurious travel arrangements, as he only recently accepted a plane dubbed the 'palace in the sky' worth over $400 million from the Qatari royal family.

This staggering jet will serve as Trump's presidential plane, and features gold finishings, luxury furniture, and a massive television, making any long distance trip feel like paradise.

He's also got access to what's known as the 'doomsday plane' in the event of any national emergencies, as this always-on flight is specifically prepared for significant occasions, and is even prepped if America were to be hit by a nuclear bomb.

While these various planes are definitely the best way of getting around the world, the president still needs something for the roads when it comes to traveling shorter distances – especially as he's banned from driving – and that's where a $1.5 million limousine known as 'The Beast' comes into play.

The Beast is a custom-made car that has been a regular feature in the lives of recent presidents, and is designed to protect the nation's leader and their allies from pretty much any attack.

Designed to look like a streched Cadillac XT6 sedan, the vehicle is expected to weigh somewhere in the region of 20,000 pounds (9,072 kg) and can withstand a surprising number of attacks.

Not only is it bulletproof, but it's also allegedly able to prevent internal damage from rocket propelled grandes, and is even sealed completely in order to protect passengers from biochemical attacks.

It's made with aluminium and ceramic, features windows around eight inches thick, can continue driving even with four flat tyres, and it's even equipped with defensive measures like smokescreens, tear gas grenades, and super slippy oil.

One vital feature hidden inside The Beast though is its surprising medical support, as a dedicated oxygen supply is backed up by fridges filled with blood matching the president's type.

Military doctors and medical professions are always on hand nearby in order to carry out any emergency procedures, and this car has everything it needs to save a president that had been attacked, which could have been handy if Trump's gunshot wound last year had been more serious.
